Respec Radio Ep. 29: Guild Wars 2 With Designer Jonathan Sharp

Podcast

Two things make this a very special edition of Respec Radio: our guest, Guild Wars 2 designer Jonathan Sharp of ArenaNet, and the last appearance of Phil Kollar as an editor at Game Informer.

You'll have to do without Andy McNamara's customary ranting this week, but we like to think that Sharp's commentary on every corner of Guild Wars 2 from character creation to the unique event system and the epic "world vs. world" battles that pit entire servers against each other in open world PvP makes up for it.

Check back to gameinformer.com later this week for a video preview of Guild Wars 2 featuring Sharp taking us through a never-before-seen PvP arena and more, and head to the Respec Radio hub or our iTunes RSS feed for more MMO-related snark than any one person really needs.

Happy trails, Phil.

GW2 pre-purchase on sale NOW! If you want collector's edition... better hurry up.

I hope GW2 ends up being as unique as it seems to be - too many WoW clones.

I'm kind of sad guild wars 2 is coming out. I'll be losing my life.

Did not like WoW.....for many reasons....combat boring...paying money every month to play etc etc..This seems to do everything I want in a MMO! Yes I will give this a try!

I want this game so bad! I even entered a contest to try and win a gaming pc because I'm on a 2008 compaq laptop atm 8(. Sigh, so many awesome looking and innovative mmo games seem to be coming out now.

Pre-purchased this morning. I rarely do this. After hearing this podcast, seeing the new video on the GI site and after spending some considerable time at the GW2 site soaking up all the information there I just couldn't resist. This title looks amazing. The best thing though? NO SUBSCRIPTION FEE. I don't know how they get away with it but not being gouged is pretty damn cool. Looking forward to the beta at the end of April and hoping the release is soon and smooth.

Too bad they cannot fix the mega security issues related to the first game. It has led to a loss in faith. My guild leader was hacked and Anet finally restored his account without any items stating he used a bot. Funny thing is the hacker used a bot and cost the guild 100's of rare items and ecto. I will not spend hours on end rebuilding when they have this snapshot system that is supposed to see all the accounts at increments of time and what they have on them. Sounds like a good game but not worth the chance of being banned due to hacks.

Guild Wars 2 is the bee's knees. I'm super ready.
