DDO is on my short list of games to play, just haven't gotten around to it yet. I'll probably download it soon and check it out.
I can't really contest anything you wrote - other than challenge your perspective. As a traditional MMO you have legitimate issues with it. But what about as a Single Player game with group content and as an action RPG with a strong class/skills system with crafting? I agree it falls short measured against the MMO heavies, but when I modify my perspective and change the measure I see some brilliance here. I think GW2 was designed to be both less and more. As you say, it will not replace the others. Perhaps it was never meant to?
Well I've reconciled to what it is and I'm having a blast with it. There are enough peeps around that difficult areas are easy to group on without even saying a word which is nice. I just finished the first area and hit the achievement gift which was cool - got a few nice accessories with decent stat bonuses. What can I say… its a just plain fun. A few more levels and I get some very cool capabilities to unlock in the traits system.
If they could make games like Darkfall: Unholy Wars that played and looked like GW2 - I would be in heaven.
Are you playing it? I am not but from my understanding you are pretty much forced to group in Darkfalls and I thought you are not too big on grouping up? Or is that mainly for GW2?
The story of this new player made me want to play Darkfalls but not got the time This story is what MMOs are all about,

I prefer to play with friends and I also enjoy PUG as well. You get many idiots and some good players. I have made some good on line friends this way.
ArcheAge - I am on the fence still. Hearing lot of mixed views about it even from some hard core ArcheAge followers who played in the korean betas.
Thanks for posting those breakdowns of GW2, Dart. I enjoyed reading them.
Fluent if you get a chance on a free weekend you should give the game a try. No of offense to Dart as his opinions are thoughtful, but he has pretty much stated he is matching his negativity to the hype surrounding the game. Remember he started out liking the game and praising some of the mechanics. Now he is in typical Dart mode. Everything is a failure and a waste of time. Sorry Dart.
In terms of value for money - GW2 is a great deal almost no matter who you are.
