I have been very interested in this game.
The great thing about D2 is its instant rewards. I can go online and make "progress" in a mere 20 minutes. The addictive quality of the game derives not only from the perception that one constantly progresses, but also that the next goal is just in sight. Furthermore, D2 has a fairly shallow learning curve for basic competence. Once we factor in certain technical factors (skill selection and synergies, among others), we get a fairly sophisticated game that offers a lot of playing combinations.
I hope that Guild Wars holds the same kind of promises, but manages to put them in an MMORPG environment that offers more depth than that of D2.
This would be exciting.
I've got the demo dates circled on my calendar. My cable bill is paid up. :)
