I remember when Everquest felt HUGE at that many players

Just imagine what it will look like on the official launch. A good start.

Well the game is that good. I'm not sure if i want another game this year. It's just so much to do in GW2 and the world is so big.

[Giru017]

Agreed... 30 hours on my character and I'm having a blast! GW2+Dark Souls:PTD are by far the best games this year, too bad for DS that I won't have time for it now that GW2 is out.

No mmo will be able to release with a subscription after gw2.

if we can have this quality without paying, it just won't fly.

[kefkah]

Totally agree with this statement. Subscription based games died with SWTOR.

10 million wow players say Hi including the billions they make for Blizzard.

Let me know when GW2 hits half the player base.

@fanboy

yes your right but wow has already been around a while.

I said no NEW mmo will dare release with a sub.

A game is more then graphics. The quality of this game is over the top.

Mark my words. You will see more buy to play games. You will see more game do away with the trinity and you will see more game have level scaling in order to keep content of all levels playable.

Mark my words.

Best MMO in a long time.
