Game population by the numbers.

Have you been under a rock for the 6 months preceeding the release of FFXIV (or of the many games that were released in horrible/disappointing states in the past, like warhammer online, tabula rasa, age of conan and many others)? because they did pretty much the same.

There's no solid information about the quality and polish of the game, nor about the possibility that some mechanics will actually work as intended or even be fun (public quests in warhammer, from which GW2 is copying for their own, sounded awesome on paper, but didn't withstand the test of reality).

If you think you can predict the quality of a game just from PR, then I'm sorry, I see a big delusion here. And delusion normally pairs very fittingly with disappointment. And as I said, the track record of NCsoft is very far from being deserving of blind faith.

Dude every post you make you disagree with everything, let me tell you for starters ARENANET IS MAKING GUILDWARS 2! Not NCsoft, you clown, read before you actually comment on something. ArenaNet are ex blizzard designers with alot of new talent, and I just watched the pax east clips and the game looks amazing. If they can release it in the right window it will be extremely successful. FFXIV has very very little chance of being reborn, I still read these forums in the hope of some amazing news but I can't see it happening before the next waves of MMOs are out. SE didn't learn to adept mostly because they have silly people like you Aberial telling the designers not to have jump in a game, silly silly people. I wanted this game to blow me away, instead I blew away 50 bucks buying, and that even makes me sad to think that SE made a game I class a waste of money.
