This is mine and my wifes main game and MMO. We were very big WoW players since it first launched but that game has seriously gone down hill fast. We started Playing GW2 at the end of January and we both just fell in love with this game. Its everything we wished WoW was. GW2 is just a joy to play and were just loving everything about it. Were still only in the core game areas and very much looking forward to HoT and PoF areas as well as when EoD comes out.

I built my wife a system to play with me out of parts I had laying around.

Core 2 duo E8600 @3.33ghz

EVGA Nforce 680i main board

8 gigs ddr2 @ 1066mhz

GeForce GTX 470

Creative X-Fi fatality edition

500 gig sata 3 ssd

500gig nvme drive on a Silverstone ecm22 adapter

Windows 7 Ultimate

The game runs absolutely beautiful 55-70fps with everything set to medium at 1080 resolution.

So your system should run this game even better than hers

Nothing is worse than WoW when it comes to flashy crazy armor. 80+% of the high level players are like neon signs walking around and then you have the weapons that look like you have a Lightsaber.

I'm a very very new player I started playing the last week of January. So I haven't been through the other holiday festivals but I really enjoyed Lunar New Year. I was a looong time WoW player and I'm just loving this game so much more than I did WoW. My wife is also playing with me after see how much fun it is and she's also loving it more than WoW.

What servers are you using? I was playing last night and I was getting 35-44ms with the average showing 38ms.

I was playing last night and my ping times were fine with the NA servers I was getting between 35-44ms it was saying the average was 39ms. And I have VZ DSL with 5.88/.863 but my line is set to Fast Path.
