So, I'm wondering if buying this game is worth the 55€ it costs.

I've looked into it and participated in one of the beta weekends, and I enjoyed it pretty much, but didn't give me that much of a "want to buy it asap" feelings.

Now that the game has been out for a few weeks, what are your thoughts on it? Would you have bought it now that you've played it?

I'm a person that has trouble getting into a game, only game I've played for over a year has been League of Legends, despite having played every popular game out there such as WoW, Rift, etc.

Is it a "must-try" game?

The last mmo i played serious was sro and that was years ago. Every time i tried another game i would lose interest within a few days. Gw2 for me is perfect. It eliminates all those tedious things in other mmo's such as "go to npc, get quest, do quest, return for reward". Also those world events are really cool. Plus the game encourages team work so ks isnt an issue.

Then you have WvW and sPvP which you can jump into straight away. So the game appeals to both hardcore and casual gamers which i think makes it a great game.

If you can watch this entire video without emptying your wallet, than by all means never by the game. I assure you, it won't be easy.

It's the kind of game that you can play no-life mode for 2 weeks, take a 3 months break, and come back right into it. There's no sub.fees, what is there to really lose?

Yes, is worth the pricetag + 3 character slots for the pvp alone.

The game is one big adventure, without the horrible grind like silkroad,

Here a few reasons to to play GW2:

1. Graphics are cool
2. Movement and new mechanics works well.
3. Just buy the game and play, no monthly fees.
4. World Of Warcraft hasn't got a look in against this game.
5. Lastly "End Game"

GW2 is a fun game, specially if you havent experienced it. People are just bad and don't know how to play it.

not boring at all, wvw and spvp can be your everyday addiction, plus living story, daily and other achievements, mining runs and world events, there's always something to do.
on the other hand.. when I was playing Silkroad I was so addicted that I didn't attend my classes, I never alt tabbed to do something else, with gw2 it's not that addictive, because there is less competition, more "friendly" environment, results in more polite people, less drama, and less space for yourself to be distinguished.
