Hello.

I'd like to thank the following for making such a great game, and helping us enjoy the beta events.

We have a great rpg experience ahead of us

Anyway.

Thank you very much:
Arenanet ( great job guys

)
Ncsoft ( Also, very well done

)

Ok. Now I think everyone should give these guys & gals from Ncsoft and Arenanet a big thank you.

THANK YOU ARENANET AND NCSOFT

Seconded

I am still skeptical about this game. WoW only lasted 2 months for me. Everyday was just raiding and lvling alts. So I quit. For you WoW lovers, battlegrounds was not interesting at all (even the honor system).

I hope this game has enough content to keep me interested in the long run. If it does, I applaud you Areanet & NCsoft.

This game is nothing like typical MMORPG's in fact i dont even consider it a MMORPG, this is an action RPG, its fast paced, action packed and does a increadible job of eliminating the grind. It dosent feel quite as... thick? as other MMORPG's but rather it seems more light hearted and friendly. plus the fact that combat is based on skill and not hours played.. yep thats what sold me on it

Kudos to Anet and NC Soft!

I definitely share that sympathy with the thread starter. It's a very creative game, and will spark evolution in online RPGs. It's a great game, and they've really worked on it very hard to make a good finished product; which they very much have. Congrats, ANet.

This is the only game I have ever followed for almost a year before release. Every beta event has left me wanting much, much more time to play. Call me a fanboy but I love everything they've done so far and I can't wait for the 27th.

Yes three cheers for ANet and NCSoft!!!
I have only participated in four beta events and the first one well was enough to get me addicted! The great graphics, balanced game play, and smooth combat just made me want it even more plus free to play, and expansions every sixth months! its very very nice to see a company that belives in their players actually having fun and not having to pay 10+ dollers every month. Yes thanks again for such a spectacular game.

Ive been following this game for a month, and having got 6-7 friends on board to play it, I think Anet did amazingly as far as promotion and proving they were making a quality product. There is no doubt in my mind after playing in the Beta that this game far exceed my expectations. This is the first RPG that I have got into, ever.

I would like to give a Standing Ovation to ArenaNet, NCsoft for delivering their product on time with so many great draws (No fees, streaming updates).

I would also like to thank Blizzard and WoW for setting a bad example which ArenaNet took and did the opposite with, thank you.

Again, Thanks ArenaNet for getting me into RPG's.

I won't applaud until my Mesmer can breathe fire and shoot lightning bolts out of his arse.

I just won't.

"I would also like to thank Blizzard and WoW for setting a bad example which ArenaNet took and did the opposite with, thank you." ~ true, but ouch

I've been playing the betas since WPE and enjoyed all of them.
Congratulations to Arena.Net for making the game they wanted make, and I wanted to play.

The game is awsome. ArenaNet and NCSoft have done a great job of keeping us informed, beta events and allowing pre-orderers to play a day early. Yes they made a great game but they also know how to treat their fans.

Ilya Khan · Apr 25, 2005, 11:13 PM // 23:13

now now...
I love Blizzard.

I would have expected me to say a little more but I am eating a cookie. A big, lovely cookie.

Oh yeah! GW>Halo 2...
Forgive me!
My Intelligence isn't that good...

Congratulations and thanks to Arenanet for making one of the best debut games ever! They have a bright future ahead of them!

Adaria · Apr 26, 2005, 12:15 AM // 00:15

WE LOVE YOU A-Net! NCSoft!!!

Though my one friend says they'll be down in a month due to not having a fee to play, I think the recognition and amount of people who have bought Guild Wars, it will be around for years to come, kinda like Diablo II, still around, still items being sold on Ebay, still popular, though riddled with spam.

So here's to ANet and NCSoft, I wish ya'll the best of luck, always going to support ya, why do I feel like I'm saying goodbye?

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING!

PawnBoy · Apr 26, 2005, 12:21 AM // 00:21

<Sheds a tear> I love you guys!

Yay!!!

Weezer_Blue · Apr 26, 2005, 03:07 AM // 03:07

There is a fatal flaw in your plan.

Before you applaud, your hands must be apart.

But sure... I'll clap.

Galatea Orea · Apr 26, 2005, 03:21 AM // 03:21

Totaling exciting. And, no matter what happens in 29 hours, the BWEs were fantastic. A great, great gaming experience. Galatea Orea bows to the devs.
