Summary: I am joined by Shongaqu from Tyrian Stories to review the first Beta Weekend Event and stress test, plus the community reactions. Download the MP3 What profession/race did you play? How far did you get and what did you do to get there. Storytime! Which things did you not get to try, whether by technical limitation or time constraints that you wanted to do? How does Guild Wars 2 square up against other MMO’s that you’ve played? What are your thoughts on the reaction of the populace to the game, now that the NDA is lifted? How well do you expect Guild Wars 2 to do as compared to, say, Rift, SWTOR, and other MMO competitors of late? Which differences do you see that might grant GW2 more success? Cash shop impressions, value as a business model. Will it be profitable? Did the promise to put the holy trinity behind us appear to come true? (Interesting Reddit post regarding this) What have you found yourself doing, mostly, while you wait for GW2? Many people that played GW2 find themselves incapable of playing other games and enjoying it. Should there be a term of this phenomenon, or is there one? (Beta tester’s remorse?)
