Guild Wars 2: The Saving Grace

This is no in-depth explanation of the game.  This is just one MMORPG fanatics humble opinion, and I am going to keep this brief:  Guild Wars 2 will be the best MMORPG to come out since World of Warcraft.

And the reason for this?  Simple: It's not trying to be World of Warcraft.  Over the last half decade so many games have come out trying to imitate something else to get a piece of the big success.  Call of Duty has hundreds of clones, and virtually every MMORPG to come out since 2004 has attempted to create the next "World of Warcraft" by attempting to make World of Warcraft.  But did anyone ever stop to think, "Hey, WoW wasn't the first MMO!  I bet it drew it's inspiration from somewhere!"  Well, luckily for us, ArenaNet did.
