on topic: ANET branching out to new games? sure, but carefully as one wrong step can kill the company.

I think GW2 may get old pretty fast if it's somewhat the same as GW. When GW1 hit the scene, it was more or less a new experience for many gamers who were looking for something else than the classic FPS, RTS or RPG game.

Personnaly I would bet on games like Diablo3 with some new features, great graphics and most of all good gameplay. MMORPG's are past their glory days imo or at least for the time being till the next gen mmo's arrive in about 5-10 years.

You see Blizzard coming out with an rts (stracraft 2) and a RPG (Diablo3) first too even though you hear rumours about the development of a secret mmo. I think they know it that it won't be easy to beat their own success of wow.

As for Anet, a competitive PVP RPG is out of the question. The segment is too small to sustain the business model, you can read that between the lines in that recent interview O'Brian gave. MMoRPG sells if it has PvE content, RTS and FPS are more fit for competitive setups.

The gaming industry is a bit like fashion, they use elements from the past but in a new and modern version. And so the cycle continues. MMORPG's were the trend last years. I see modern high tech. hack and slash rts/rpg's to become the new flavor for a couple of years.

More the sky is falling doom and gloom. Maybe you should check your ISP and your virtual ram before you toss in the towel champ. If it really is THAT bad why are you still playing?

my internet runs fine till i play they game on their servers in game FYI

if you want proof just look at your dot in the middle of game play how it changes from green to orange to red to orange. thats their servers if you wave the mouse over the dot you'll see their game server ip not your own so theirs your proof. FYI

stop trying to be a know it all and realize the situation. that erm no garbage is just rude so yes you'll get a rude answer.

My internet runs fine playing GW. Take an honest look at some of the above facts and suggestions. It may well be your server, a few bad connectors will do it to. btw. It may also be a connection in your home...each little oops contributes to a cumulative effect on dowload/upload times.

The suggestions here are not brown nosers, just folks stating facts. There does seem to be a 'blame Arenanet' mentality tho.

That's why there are fantastic sagas with over 30 years.

GW2 don't have a tale to tell anymore ..... its not going to have a monolithic storyline. it will be Quest Arc.

its going to be a collection of short stories. and it better be good, or else its going to become like any other mmorpg.
