Played the original for a good long while, so I expect this to keep me hooked for a good bit of time.

The moving 2D painting thing in the beginning of the vid was not my favorite (It looks too much like Southpark for lack of a better analogy) 
 
However, the second part with 3D environs looked crazy and made me look forward to the second Guild Wars.

It looks great but I've got the original GuildWars and I didn't really like it. The fact it was all instanced apart from towns was quite annoying for me because I don't really wanna group up with strangers but I want them wandering around everywhere so it makes the game feel alive.

Interesting. Could this be the game that will at least make a dent in the WOW-numbers? I'd love to see more.

Did look pretty awesome, but that Guild wars logo looks like it's straight out of dragon age.

I can't wait for this game. I loved the original Guild Wars to death. God only knows how many thousands of hours I sunk into it. I imagine the same will happen with GW 2, unless it turns out to be another shallow mindless WOW clone like every other MMO that has come out recently, but this Arena.net we are talking about here so I doubt that will be the case. I have faith in them. erm... ehem... anyway yea SEXY TRAILER!!!

First game was fucking epic! Looks good and with the same sort of free subscription, I'm sold once again. Got GW and all expansions and played so much.

meh... I tried playing Guild Wars and I found it pretty boring tbh.
 
Anyone who thinks this is going to give WoW a run for its money is sorely mistaken.  Don't get me wrong... I'm not obsessed with WoW or anything but trying to play Guild Wars after WoW is like playing that CD-I Zelda game instead of a Link to the Past.

@Meltbrain: If im remembering right, it is still subscription free, and they made it somewhat less instanced for more player interaction 
 
Azteck : If by free you mean no monthly subscription, then yes =) There is a one time cost to buy the game though

I will pick it up IF it's only required to pay for the game itself and no monthly fees.

Ahh, I miss Guild vs. Guild battles. Team PvP in GW was some of the best, when it worked.

Yeah it will be less instanced this time.
 
Man im stoked for this, Guild Wars was the only online RPG that didn't require me to be a total nerd. Looks gorgeous again, lets hope the starting zone doesn't get burnt down to the ground this time eh?

I'm barley blown away by trailers. But as a giant fan of Guild Wars and MMOs in general, I'm insanely excited for this game.

Well, the first one was free. I would expect this one to be as well. If it isn't, they left Blizzard for no reason in the end (they are against the idea of monthly payments, last I heard).

I am pretty sure this game has been in development since before Dragon Age.

Over 6 million Guild Wars games have been sold to date. It might not make as much money as WoW since there's no subscription fee, but there's certainly a large user base. Guild Wars 2 will be more MMO-ish than the first one, which was heavily instanced.
