Well, I assume that everyone in this thread has hands and access to the internet...
...Maybe look at a few webcomics.

I am really tempted, but the line in the digital deluxe edition about the banker being only good for 5 days gives me pause. If one of the special edition items is only temporary, then what must mundane items be? You have to buy a new mount every week? I worry there will be micro-transactions everywhere this time around.
Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.
Well I don't think there are any mounts as far as I can tell. GW1's microtransactions were all cosmetic and from the brief stuff I've seen in the beta it seems like it'll stay that way. Also it's worth remembering that you can use in game money to buy anything in the "real money" store. Generally speaking Arena Net has been pretty good with being user friendly, intuitive, and all that so I don't think there's anything to fear.
The one thing I see myself getting a lot are the transmutation stones. Afterall, you gotta look cool but you also need good gear.

You don't even need to buy Transmutation Stones; maybe only the lvl80 stones need to get bought. I 100%-cleared four areas during the previous BWE and each time got 3 Transmutation stones. They're common and plentiful.
I may end up getting those awesome glasses though. Glasses are sexy.
I believe everyone who pre-purchased gets the early entry, regardless of which type they bought.
I only pre-purchased standard and I got the beta access, so I assume I also get the early access.

I'll be going 2hsword and rifle warrior on my main, as a sylvari.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Also, I think I understand why I like GW2 better than any MMO thus far...
GW2 seems to be an MMO designed around being an MMO, rather than an RPG turned in to a multiplayer game.

I got it off their prepurchase site, so I'm prepurchase.

I'm honestly really conflicted.
I'm really not much of a guild person, so the only guilds I would ever care about are ones with my IRL friends and the Dakka Korps.
That being said, I'm in the US and playing on a EU server was a bit desolate (on Desolation, lulz) at times when I would usually play. Additionally, many people I know are beckoning me to join a US server.
I may end up joining the 'Maguuma' server in the US so I can play with people on this side of the pond and then guest into anything DK is doing in PvE or sPvP.
This recent news regarding guild bonuses being per-server is also a bit of a conflict-stirrer.
Is there still interest in making a Dakka Korps - Eastern Hemisphere chapter/server?
Apart from reason 6, this lass really doesn't get the WoW mindset at all, most of those negatives she mentioned, are positives to hardcore raiders, and the ninjaring thing isn't that much of an issue if you know what your doing.
Most folks I play with have tried multiple MMOs, like me was playing GW2 without a issue in moments, and its not really all that different.
Damn, glad I didn't see this first, she would have put me off, talk about talking down to your audience.

Heh, not liking things are fine, if we didn't have a large amount of people liking different things, the games industry would look an ever sadder place than it does. With all the bandwagoning and making as safe selling games as possible situation we have these days.
I just have an issue when folks go out of their way to take issue, offend fans, take the mick of a game/product they say they have no interest in.
If you have a previous vested interest and feel it has betrayed your core ideals, I can respect that. I have no issue with Vanilla WoW or TBC vets moaning about the game it once was, even If I don't agree with them, or in my view feel in just as many places as it has been dulled, it has improved.
I should note, this is not directed at anyone, just in the past I have asked folks not to jump down the throat of WoW threads I have created. So felt I should clarify my position to avoid any confusion.
On an utter side note, that's the best sig I've seen in ages Mel.
