    LilSpitfire: The way they describe the questing system where parts of the world change based on what you do is exactly what WOW's phasing system does. You know th... more »
    tehvoid: Jumping, Taurens and Gnomes in GW2 and now this? Are we sure that's not WoW 2? :p more »
    ggodo, the man from R.O.A.C.H.: I just want to know how this will effect the PvP. I want Guild wars style PvP not the WoW style. more »
    maraxusofk: This should be apparent to anyone still playing Guild Wars. more »
    whitjm5: Wasn't there just an article where a WoW developer suggested that other MMORPG's should NOT copy it's model to succeed? I'm intrigued by the zombie M... more »
