Why I bought Guild Wars 2

A new MMO joins the ranks of the "Current MMOs" in the list at top right.  Here are my expectations of Guild Wars 2:

• a good tutorial;
• strongly story-based PvE;
• inexpensive;
• strong encouragement and inducement toward cooperative PvE over solo; but,
• some solo PvE opportunities too, since I'm up later than anyone else; and,
• small.  gang.  PvP.  Small gang PvP!  Please.

We'll see how well GW2 lives up to these expectations, particularly that last one, because the death of small gang PvP and the risk aversion that drives that death is far and away my biggest pet peeve with EVE Online.

Stay tuned.

Meanwhile, Global Agenda will probably be dropping off the list to "departed" this month sometime.  I haven't even logged into it since the Alliance Tournament ended.  My FPS MMO fix was satisfied with DUST 514 beta play.

That said, the sharp-eyed among you have already noticed that I've moved DUST to "departed".  I won't be playing DUST 514 when it's released, but it's probably not particularly for the reasons that you think.  But out of respect for CCP, I'll wait to talk about my reasons until after closed beta ends and open beta starts.
