📎 AI Summary:
The thread centers on a first-impressions post praising *Guild Wars 2* after the author joins a few days post-launch, comparing it favorably to other major MMOs (e.g., WoW, SWTOR, TOR-related titles) and emphasizing its smoother, more casual-friendly design while still offering depth for hardcore players. The main “questions” raised are more about features and launch readiness (e.g., server stability, missing mounts, and whether the lack is offset by themed alternatives like Asura mechs), and the author also shares an EU server (Gandara) and friend/contact handle for others to connect. Overall sentiment is strongly positive and enthusiastic about the game’s quality and potential to outperform competitors.

Well after avoiding the beta builds to avoid spoilers etc for the last 6 months, I finally got my hands on the game a few days after launch (I like to wait 2-3 days for them to fix server issues.... especially after that Diablo 3 fiasco :mad:) and after 4 days of play I'm finding this to live up to most of the hype, Guild Wars 2 is definately the WoW killer, that said it's not massively different to most games on the scene, it's more in the way it does it's stuff, it's a lot more fluid and friendly for the more casual players like myself with plenty of stuff for those hardcore MMO nerds to fiddle with as well. :razz:

Having recently replayed a lot MMO games to get a feel for how they are currently for comparison, WoW, Age of Conan, LOTR Online, Star Wars TOR, I can safely say this is better than them all, sure theres a few niggles... would have been nice for mounts but I guess they do have Asura Mechs... :tongue:

I'm currently homed on the "Gandara" EU server, if you want to hook up there add me "HighwaymanUK.9803" :thumbs_up:
