    Well, like I said I'd like all the MMOs I play to be open world and also be awesome games but it just hardly ever happens. If TERA nails it I may be busy with it and just dabble with TOR, who knows. It will be easy to tell whether TOR will be worth playing once beta starts and certainly by OB it will be clear what type of game it will be.

    i think for what you paid ,GW was a grate game!
    it was a fun casual Online Game with some hard core competitive Player bace. they had prices sponsored by arena and a champion guild every year!

    i played it for 2 years i bout every expantion, ok 1 expantion and 3 stand alone campains.
    and for every time i logged in i had fun exploring, alone, with friends , thinking new builds you name it.
    the only thing about GW is that it was not a MMO game.

    but i think ToR will be a Lot and i meen a LOT like Guild wars.
    Critical path=GW standar story missions.
    Companions=GW nightfall companions
    Good story=GW story, was narative and good enogh.
    Combat sistem=?

    so from my perspective they have a lot in common.

    but considering its a bioware game i know at least it will be good game to have in your shelf and play it at least for that first free month.

    Dammit, so we only get 1 year to play SWTOR. OK, I'll definitely just do month to month pay plan so I can cancel easily. I don't want my credit card charged once the Apocolypse starts.
