I believe they made their promise on delivering quality story with top-notch voice acting. You can craft your own story with responses you choose.

That was the signature innovation this game brought to the MMO market and they delivered on that 100%.

The rest of the game was as hyped as any MMO. There's PvP, there's endgame, etc.

Huttball is terrific but aside from that the PvP isn't revolutionary by any means. Did they say it would be?

Multiplayer dialogue is new and interesting and delivers as far as hype goes. But the rest of the experience is up to the player to determine whether it delivers on hype or not.
The story argument dies when you level another toon to 50, then you realize how fail that story thing was.

Yeah, Id say it lives up to the hype. over the past week I have gone to Best Buy and Fry's twice each and ran into random ppl buying the game or upgrading their computers to play this game. Seems like everywhere I go I meet people who love this game. That hasnt happened since the early WoW days for me.

What promises are you referring to? What was promised that wasn't delivered?
All warfare is based on deception • If his forces are united, separate them • If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near • A leader leads by example not by force

dude trust me.. GW2 once Arenanet sacks up and actually opens a LEGIT OFFICIAL FORUM which they do not have at this moment.

the amount of hate filling those boards will blow your mind.

anything less than total perfection will have this game fail. or at the very least achieve the amount of success GW1 did. which was pretty good but not on a large scale good.

The lack of any type of progression in GW2 because they ditched the trinity system but kept the leveling experience has yet to be seen. progression is what makes people want to push forward and win.

then again its the perfect recipe for a console game. pick up your controller and smash buttons until enemy goes down. dodge attacks rinse and repeat.

A world pvp system that is going to blow my mind. Fluid combat. And replayability.

Personally i think that this game was all hype and that is all. It failed my expectations, leveling up to lv 50 was great for the first time but being lv 50 for a month and a half i can say that this game is very boring. I even made a new alt at lv 40 and it the fun i had when leveling the 1st time is gone, i cant even do a single FP cause it takes a hour of my time to find a party and i still wont be able to get one either missing a tank or healer or both.
The hype got me bigtime just like Warhammer Onlines did.
Well done Patch 1.2, lots of additions that i was looking for.

Yeah even i upgraded my PC, when actually a PC from 4 years back could run it at all the "high" settings as they are at present.

I want to play an MMO where present day hardware is needed and can be utilized.

I hate to say it but i bet there will be no texture improvements by the end of March and another load of cash will be wasted, and ill end up taking a look at Guild Wars 2 or the like.

Didn't live up to the hype for me either and I have played since DnD in the 70s through most MMOs to date.

This is one game I was so looking forward to and wanted it to succeed but they messed it up big time.

Personally I think the MMO Genre will kill itself with all this ***** footing around getting the masses to play and destroying what an MMO is all about and it will go back to old school (here's hoping lol).

Now that new people to the MMO market and yes I mean those that started with WoW (Even Vanila but mostly after TBC) the majority got what you were all screaming for, nerf this give us that, make this easier. Now that we have that, no one wants it. Were left with a pile of **** MMOs all scrapping the bottom of the barrel to get as many people to play as possible (which of course makes perfect business sense) but is destroying the very genre they were built on and people enjoyed.

MMOs of today and this is for me personally are all headed in to single player modes with friends online.

Arcade Games!

Space Invaders Anyone?
