Sorry for OT, but GuildWars 2 is not a December release, they plan on starting closed beta in December. Also no subscription required so might not even be direct competition except for player time. So far it's only SWTOR in the MMO genre that's clashing with the subscription switch date, and opinions on it are somewhat mixed among the MMO audience.
