11:16AM I also got the chance to finally meet Ghostcrawler last night, and not only is he awesome, but he says there will be plenty of surprises today, even considering the leaks we've seen so far.

Real talk: will any MMORPG threaten WoW in the next 2-4 years?

Guild Wars 2 potentially

If ANet does it right like they did the first right, then there's no need for WoW.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #27 on:** August 21, 2009, 04:21:45 PM »

Yea, I've been wanting H Deadmines for ages. Epic

5 levels...can't wait for more info on this; are they increasing the xp required for those levels, making it last longer/mean more? I'm guessing people won't be getting to 85 after a couple days.

ManaByte · « **Reply #28 on:** August 21, 2009, 04:22:06 PM »

Guild Wars isn't a MMO. It's a Diablo clone with $50 "expansions".

ManaByte · « **Reply #29 on:** August 21, 2009, 04:22:48 PM »

Yea the early MMO Champion leaks said they are making 80-85 longer.

That's what they did with EQ when they raised it to 85 a few years ago.

Uh the sequel will have a persistent world and open world interaction, events and pvp.

Anyways, Gilneas looks real nice. Doesn't have an Alliance vibe though.

It's something EQII had since day 1. As you complete quests/achievements your guild gains levels and as it does it gains access to new features. In EQII the Guild level raises with the level cap and is currently 80.

Q: Will I need the expansion to be able to experience the Cataclysm changes?
A: When the Cataclysm occurs, it will occur for all players, whether they have purchased the expansion or not--you will no longer be to play in the original version of Kalimdor or the Eastern Kingdoms. However, certain features such as the new zones, new races, and new level cap will only be accessible to players who purchase the expansion.

Ah ok

Yea they should since you go to the Plane of Fire.

This is seeming to be like WoW's Planes of Power, where WoTLK was their Velious. Elemental Plane of Earth, Elemental Plane of Water, Elemental Plane of Fire. They didn't mention air yet.

So assuming the game goes to 100 levels, there will be what four more expansions?
80-85
85-90
90-95
95-100

Unless teh all powerful Aion shit cans WoW. Yes, I know people who are anticipating Aion to be the next big thing.

They may stretch it out further and do an expansion without a level increase and instead add some new AA system.
