I am so looking forward to this. My buddy an I have been waiting for GW2 now for a long time, and from the previews at PAX it's looking pretty awesome.

I am really looking forward to this. I used to play the original with my little brother all the time. It looks like the old team is coming back together in August.
The Collector's Edition is a little disappointing though. The price is too high and there isn't enough incentive to get it for me.
