So are you going to be able to bring an original GW toon to GW2?

Can I play my original Guild Wars character in Guild Wars 2?

Guild Wars 2 is a whole new game with different professions and races, new technology, and expanded gameplay. It is not possible to directly use an original Guild Wars character.
However, your original Guild Wars character names will be reserved for your use in Guild Wars 2. The Hall of Monuments in Guild Wars 2 recognizes the accomplishments commemorated by your original Guild Wars characters and provides you with unique rewards to showcase those achievements.

of course, 10 min after posting that, I found that out. for those of you that played the original, how was the PvP? Was it tabbed targeting, or do you need skill to kill? Big fights, or are they instanced?

sorry for all the questions, just figuring out which game to get hyped about next.

GW PvP is going to be VERY different from GW2 pvp. GW pvp was tabbed targetting arena style. Took TEAM skill as well as player skill along with hours of practicing to be good at. GW also required team builds and player builds to mesh seamlessly.

GW2 is going to be somewhat different however as it is going to offer arena style combat as well as world combat. We don't know much else right now though.

You can pre-order GW2 now, says release date is 11/03/10 but that's just a place holder for now.

At least we now know we are about a year away from playing the game.

Great Ced, like Joe didn't already have a hate-on for Canadians!

The thought of being able to play as a one of the Charr or mutated rabbits is somewhat comforting. Who wants to make a bet that an Azura named Vekk will show up on day1?

There is however a disappointment... no more Gwen.
