Guild Wars 2 is looking good. For the first time ever take (select) equipment and armor from one MMO into the sequel. Also take all those achievements with you, finally those 5 years of grinding aren't suddenly for nothing when the next game comes out.
No official date yet on GW2 but it has been confirmed you can play as charr, asura, sylvari, humans and more! (like norn) Also GW2 will follow in the steps of Guild Wars...that means you buy the game and there's no subscription...FREE TO PLAY!
They also plan to keep instancing (used in GW) but add open live areas (WoW) PvP will be done for realm (WoW) as well as instanced PvP for highly competitive types (HA in GW)
