There are a lot of people and guilds leaving WoW and SWTOR for this game. Pre-purchase started this past week, and beta weekends are starting very soon. Should be able to get a good head start on bot development if you were planning on it
I watched some videos of open world PvP and people taking a keep. It reminded me of some great times in DAoC and they will have a 3-faction system similar to DAoC as well. Looks very promising for those interested in large-scale open world PvP.
I'm some what excited about GW2, not so much yet to Pre-Order, I played GW1, never keeps a solid interest in it though, but that was long ago.. this one actually looks solid enough to make me want to play it, but we'll see
I was excited about SWTOR, that sure fell through >.>
