Always FREE-to-PLAY
Besides the obvious, the great thing about Guild Wars is the gameplay is much faster than your standard MMO and there's a level cap.  So you don't have to spend your time grinding for xp.  The story modes are always good and the pvp is fun too.  This is one game I will be getting for PC on release day.

When is the next Guild Wars game going to come out?
Google says:
Guild Wars 2 Release Date is November 2, 2011

When will the beta be available?
Anet will be conducting small closed alpha and beta tests in 2011. The feedback from these will determine when public tests are done and when to ship the game. Guild Wars 2 is an extremely large game with very high expectations. Players should be absolutely blown away the first time they experience the game.
