Frankly, I'm a little sad, that the explorable areas aren't instanced, like in the original Guild Wars.
Yeah, the idea probably wouldn't work in the second game, since it's very different from the first one. But I still liked the fact, that if some newbie that I didn't like kept harassing me, I could just ditch the twat by jumping into an explorable area.
Nevertheless, this game looks much better than any MMO I've seen. I'll probably have to dial down the graphics a lot, though, in order to get the game to run smoothly on my poopy computer.
