I haven't played many MMOs as I usually get bored with them really quickly. World of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings Online, 2moons and Flyff are the MMOs I can remember having played and they were all boring. I did however love Guild Wars, and as someone who spent a lot of time in Guild Wars, I can tell just from the things we know now that GW2 is not just "more of the same".
That's like saying Assassin's Creed 2 was more of the same compared to the first Assassin's Creed. Sure, they still revolve around the same themes and share some gameplay mechanics, but there is still quite a difference.
And I'd love to argue about what has and hasn't been done before, but my knowledge on MMOs is simply too basic for that. However, AC2 didn't bring anything new to the table either. All of its mechanics had seen somewhere else before, and yet it was still a great game.
So if you can point me to another MMO that has a persistent world with realtime events as opposed to 'press the exclamation mark to recieve quest', world PvP, a personal story for the player's character (like in normal RPGs), little focus on grind, no penalties for players helping strangers kill foes, underwater exploration (there are sunken kingdoms to be explored) and combat, cross profession combos and combat this visceral, all without paying a monthly fee, then I would love to see it.
