I'm looking for a Diablo 3, and Guild War is just the game for me. A "Diablo 3" that didn't set new standards for action RPG, in just about the same way Guild Wars does, would be a huge disapointment compared to the predecessors.

I hope Guild Wars will become the reference for action RPG's in the years to come, the same way Diablo has been the reference for the years past.

You can't compare it to Diablo 3 since there's no "Diablo" in it? Duh??

I never played Diablo2 until I played GW Feb Beta, and read a magazine article stating that this game was Very Diabloesque... I then thought, "Maybe I'll play this Diablo2 until next beta, since they apparently have so much in common"
I found that other than being able to play a necro or warrior, GuildWars is absolutely different than Diablo2...there is nothing even close to the same. I'm thinking they said this to pay some sort of homage to the fact that it's built by Diablo people. Graphically (sprites vs 3d renders), gameplay (mouse clicky with unalterable 3rd person view vs fully dynamic camera control and full keyboard use for total character/camera control)....
I guess they're both PC games..thats pretty well a commonality...I have also uninstalled Diablo 2 and played some NWN instead...and will do so until GW is released

One of the main differences is that you can play Guild Wars for an extended period of time and still be having tons of fun while playing Diablo 2 for longer than a week every 6 months causes you to put multiple bullets into your skull (it's a scientific fact!)

Guildwars might not be just a VERY GOOD GAME, but it will set a trend, a REVOLUTION of Online RPGs without Monthly Fee

And BTW it will take the WoW! out of the magazines soon
