Watched the whole demo and it looks like a good leap forward. As one who only plays Blizzard games, I'm drooling over the character customization screen... it's just absolutely amazing! I really wish we had that level of customization of our characters in wow. On the other hand, the gameplay looks monotonous and exactly like every other mmo out there, which is what will send players trickling back to wow after a month or two afterward like every other mmo released since wow, and why I don't even bother. Wow has the unique ability to cater to most everyone's playstyle, which is what nips every other mmo out there in the butt. The thing is, it's taken Blizzard years to create that ability and no large enough group of gamers is willing to give another mmo enough time to be able to create it regardless of whether the game is capable of it or not. As gamers, we want the ability to cater to every gaming whim we're in the mood for right now... and only wow satisfies that. Which is what I believe is the love/hate relationship hardcore gamers have with wow and I personally believe is the problem wow is going to address with Titan. To an extent battle.net has already attempted to address this, by allowing seamless communication/gameplay between different games. It's already Blizzard vs. everyone else, but I think much like Apple has become the "exquisite PC" (which is really just pretty PC hardware wrapped in an "iPhone/iPod/iPad" shell with seamless integration into a Linux operating system... not at all original, but brilliantly done!), there'll soon be a high class gaming "Blizzard culture" (Diablo, Starcraft, Wow, Titan's seamless integration with battle.net) that you'll either support and be a part of or you won't... there won't be much of an in between or any room for other games. Of course games like GW, Rift, etc. will continue to try and make a stab into the giant's cashflow, but will unfortunately will garner even more of a mere cult following and lead to a game's demise even quicker.
I don't believe mmo's are on their way out by any means, but I do believe that if there's to be another competitor with
Apple
Blizzard, there needs to be another truly original idea from another giant
Google or Microsoft
, whether it be an mmo or not.
A little bit of rambling, but just some opinions. :) Best of luck to GW2 of course, but I won't be playing it.

This game is looking really promising, but they need to release it soon, or at least my interest for the game will be lost. Seems to be some activity around the game now, perhaps they're aiming for a release around early December?
Probably going to be a lot of Sylvari around, they seem popular now. Was thinking of a Sylvari Ranger myself, but I still got nightmares from WoW pet AI, so I'm not sure I want to go through that again (I tend to lock on to one play style and stick with it, I rarely switch so choosing the right style early on is rather important, relying on a pet AI is risky, I learned that the hard way in WoW).
Based on this
interview
, I think it might be a little later than this year. Perhaps next year?
