This is the only time I can justifying pre-purchasing a game. I trust the Guild Wars team, I've put in over 800 hours into Guild Wars, and I still have plenty left to do. The game had a great story that I felt drawn into, I loved the simple way it forced you to have 8 skills and to optimise around those 8 skills. I think the game, while obviously dated, still looks pretty good. Not to mention the constant stream of updates.
If they can carry some of that positive over, then well, I can't see me playing any other MMO. Of course, I'm still skeptical as I am with all MMO launches, but I'm willing to take the risk based on their previous track record.
Especially compared with Tera who asked for a prepurchase and who are they? While the game looks lovely, I can't put my faith in an unknown developer who sat on the game 'localising' it for more than a year.
Hopefully my code will be sent tomorrow.
