I'm definitely getting guild wars 2, and since its free 2 play I may buy a pay 2 play MMO. I'm still not sure if it will be Tera or Star Wars. I like the combat system in Tera, but I know Bioware can create an amazing story, and I'd love to see how that translates over into an MMO.

You've got to watch some of those Guild Wars 2 Demo w/ Commentary videos on youtube. They're changing the design of MMORPGs completely. One example, they're changing the quest system to a 'dynamic event' system where literally anyone can join in the event for the same amount of xp and loot. The event scales in difficulty, too. They're also changing most of or all of the mechanics to the original game in order to force teamplay, stop people from focusing on their Interface and look at the atmosphere, etc. This game is going to be nuts!!

They had something called a PQ (Public Quest) Where if you entered an area you could partake in this grand tiered event. You got a roll with a bonus based on your participation and gave out different tiers of loot. It was pretty cool and rather unique at the time. In warhammer that is since it didn't quote coji's post like i tried to...

It will probably be open beta and released fairly quickly as it is already in full release in europe. They only invited 1,000 beta testers this round and I have a feeling it will be only a month or so before open beta starts as they only have to change up some back end stuff to provide it to North America.

That is the same system Rift has, but on a much larger scale. They aren't designated areas, they are random and depend on population. All groups are considered open or public and you can join anyone else unless they set it to private, which you need to do if you want to run an instance and there are open rifts or invasions nearby.

So I wouldn't say what GW2 is trying to do is really that unique, they're just perhaps expanding upon what the newer or past MMOs have tried to do.
