To quote:

In broader terms, Guild Wars is extremely close to being our favorite MMO ever due to its enlightened approach to the genre. The attention that ArenaNet pays to the game's PvP experience would be embraced by the industry at large in a perfect world, and its ability to offer such a stellar product without charging a monthly subscription is nothing short of revolutionary. If subsequent expansions reflect the level of quality we saw in Factions and Nightfall, then ArenaNet's model will be viable indeed.

Congrats, ANet!

Congratulations ANet!!!

OMG! They called it an expansion!!! What sacrilege!!!

They also said: "Your guess is as good as ours as to where the next campaign will go, but make no mistake, we're very excited to find out."

So another person has joined the guessing game.

Congratulations ArenaNet! A well-deserved award.

congrats A-net

congrat's game fo the year plz now???

Did they give it 8.8?

gg anet, you guys earned it.

Congratulations!

You guys truly deserved that reward !

They had nothing but good words for the Anet, that's what I like to see.

Just a sidenote:

"ESRB Teen for Use of Alcohol, Violence"

lol? Alcohol use?, haha

Yep, even though I would like many changes done to the game, I don't see anything better out there! Congrats!

Meh...

When I see 1up's GOTY for this category then I'll care.

Do trolls have hairy toes? You should know...

Back on topic, congrats to Anet. As per usual, Anet has done a wonderful job of continually improving on a product that was excellent out of the gate.

Let's see, I've paid $210 for 3 collector's sets, $60 for 2 regular versions. I've played about 2,000 hours between the two accounts. That makes $270/2000 = $0.135, or 13 1/2 cents per hour played. Best bargain in gaming.

So all of you complainers, look around and see if there is anything else in life that gives you better entertainment for 13 cents an hour...

/applaud

Awesome! Anet truly deserves this. Nightfall is one of the best games I've ever played.

Congratulations Anet!!!

Do you start all your posts with "meh"?

Grtz Anet. Never expected anything different tbh

Yay statistics...

/sarcasm

If you don't like what I have to say then don't reply.

Otherwise, when I see GOTY across the board it'll matter. Until then its a GOTY from Game Spy out of all places.

I agree with Omega 100%, plus imo GW isn't even an mmo, so it shouldn't be in mmorpg contention.

So lets see MMORPGs this year... you had autoassult which failed day 1, and ummm factions.....yeah.... and..... yeah thats it so they won becuase it was released, not becuase it was good.

congratulations anet.

hush the rest of you who have nothing good to say

So you are basically saying that it wins by default?
