DAMN you beat me to it! I was just about to post this. 
 
Anyway, the game looks super slick. I feel the hundreds of hours I'll be investing in this slipping away even now. I can't wait for this game!!!

This trailer totally re-kindled my levels of 'Pumped' for the game. Also, judging by the art work right at the end, Sylvaris are going to be badass. I was going to be a human, but then I saw how awesome they are and now I've changed my mind.

That's the Norn, they were also in Eye of the North (an expansion to the original game)
They're a race of giant-ish humans with the ability to turn into spirit animals.  So no, you didn't hear it here first, we heard it almost two years ago.  :P

Oh haha, I loved Guild Wars, Eye of The North is the only expansion I didn't purchase, I was kind of worn out after Nightfall.

That was a brilliant trailer, seriously psyched to see this game released.

I nearly fogot about GW2, I wish it could come sooner. The trailer got me so pumped for the release. 1000+ hours on the original, I can't wait to get into GW2.

This may be old, but I just booted up Guild Wars after awhile without playing it and the first thing I saw was this. I don't know how I missed it, but now I am even more stoked for Guild Wars 2.

I've tried both Guild Wars and WoW*. While WoW satisfied me for a while, if Blizzard's next MMO is anything like WoW, I won't be buying it.
