I finally got the game last Wednesday. It's the same game it was in the betas, all right... and still so awesome... :)
I've never played a game for over 150 hours before it was released before, much less then wanted to play it for many more... but this game did that. No question. GW is the kind of game you lose track of time in no problem at all... 'it was midnight half an hour ago, right?' one asks at three or four am... sure, it won't last forever, but without a fee, it doesn't have to. Like with a Diablo II you can stop when you get bored, or complete the main story, or something and should almost certainly feel like you got your money's worth... and with all the stuff to do, I'd be surprised if you don't keep coming back fairly regularly after that, and then again once each new expansion is released. :)
