Ok, I fail. Didn’t see you already had that in the news. :)

Blighted Empires was a terrible name anyway.

I dunno about content and story being in the final legs of development, at least as far as voice work goes my experience is that they usually start it sooner because by its nature it involves out-sourcing and you wouldn’t want that to hold up release.

Incidentally those reasons are related to why most games tend to have voice-work that fits in with the overall story but is often short on details.

My experience on this isn’t MMO-related tho, but it comes from association with audio folks (Tommy Tallarico for one, others formerly from BioWare, etc.).

So at least as far as voice-work is concerned, I don’t think you can extrapolate a “soon” release from that detective work.

I’m kinda looking forward to GW2. I played GW briefly but I didn’t like the arcade style of game it offered. There was no sense of a real, permanent world. SW2 has a lot of potential though.

Updated the post to note that the Blighted Empires trademark has gone abandoned.

@Hess: I can’t think of any good reasons to not pick up Guild Wars. It is a quality game with no monthly fee. And I don’t PvP at all.

@Nox: Guild Wars (1) was originally launched without a subtitle. After Factions, ArenaNet went back and added the subtitle Prophecies to the first Guild Wars campaign. I suspect that they don’t want to repeat this for Guild Wars 2.

@Hess: Guild Wars is largely soloable. If you like soloing and a story (and a win point), I would suggest picking up Guild Wars Nightfall (best campaign, IMHO) and giving it a try. I believe you can get the first two campaigns for only $10 each now, but Nightfall is better because it has the Heroes.
