Do you plan to play both GW2 and ESO?

Just curious with the transition in roughly 4 months how many plan on playing both GW2 and ESO? I know for myself find time to play two MMO's is a challenge so I'll probably stick with one (most likely ESO, but who knows at this point). I'm also curious what the future will be for GW2 for the family after the transition if anyone know's anything about that. I know its been mentioned we want to keep Sanctum of Rall alive so will events be planned for both? I remember reading about when GW2 was added with Rift and our Rift population slowly died, so curious if something similar will happen with ESO.

Have they announced how much the subscription will be?

14.99 Scott. The usual.

Trinak, I posted a lengthy thread on Chapter 4 after Chapter 5 goes live. It's stickied on the homepage. 

The reason we left RIFT which lead to the severe decline in RIFT activity was the layoff of our entire developer contact list including Scott Hartsman himself. With all of our contacts cut out of the picture suddenly it put a very bad taste in my mouth as they turned rift more toward becoming a wow clone which they vowed against at their start. They changed their entire philosophy and direction. Guild Wars 2 had been a planned expansion since we left War hammer Online but it kept getting pushed back. We moved to RIFT on promises of siege warfare that was removed from the game when it went public beta. We spent time in RIFT to keep the community alive while we waited for a home that could house everyone. PvE and Siege Warfare players. We thought GW2 would have this but they didn't so we ended up without our Raiding team in Gw2. ESO has raiding and siege warfare along with plenty of casual game play which allows us to unite all players under a single title. 

The thing to remember and pay attention to is ArenaNet has not laid anyone off my contacts are still in tact and growing. This server was named after one of our members. It would be disrespectful for us to pull off Sanctum of Rall. We will be there and support those who play so long as Sanctum of Rall is online.

That said it's anyone's guess as to where players will go. I'm not going to lie to you and give you false hopes, ESO is going to be big, it will draw a massive crowd. Skyrim pulled 30% of our population out of game for 3-6 months and that was a single player non - evolving game. This game evolves over time. It's going to get a lot of attention and every server and every guild in Guild Wars 2 will feel the pinch. Events might lighten up and move toward ESO. Remember play what you want, how you want, when you want, for as long as you want. This applies to everyone in our community. Event Leaders included. 

That said we will continue running the Guild Wars 2 chapter so long as we have a server.

I'll be sticking with GW2. Having a limited budget, monthly subscriptions are not an option so ESO is not an option.

My Guild Wars toon probably won't see the light of day for the first week or two after ESO launches, but after that, I plan to split my time as evenly as possible. I love Guild Wars 2 and will play it until no longer able to.

That's probably about what I'll be doing as well. I love playing an engineer, and I don't see it's equivalent in ESO.

I'm sticking with GW2.   Beyond GSCH being in ESO, I can't justify the expense of playing it, when I'm perfectly happy with GW2.

Its too early for me to make a decision regarding ESO.  Until I get a very thorough look at ESO's Siege Warfare system (I like that more than my "Massively Multiplayer PVP", so I'm stealing it, sorry Fog :P), I'm refusing to comment on much more than "its of an interest to me".

What will it take for me to throw my money and time at ESO?  That the ESO Siege Warfare system be a better system than Warhammer's.  Folks may think that won't take much, because WAR's RvR system definitely had its faults, but its most glaring problems were because its design was ahead of current (at the time) technologies.  Sadly EA just gave up on it and sliced and diced the team, rather than invest money to address those issues.  

ESO promises the technology, so whether or not they deliver on the design is something that I still need to see, of which I have not been able to yet.

(btw, in my opinion, GW2's WvW system isn't even on the same level.  It has fallen very short of expectations in its design and unless ArenaNet addresses certain key issues, WvW will never be more than it is, regardless of "Season" tournaments or any other window dressing they try to slap on it)

Don't know for sure that I'm going to ESO, it will depend on how everything turns out.  I try to stay as much as possible away from it right now so I don't get fed up with before it even starts.

I'll be playing both at this stage.  Guild Wars 2 is still fun for me, despite my utter dislike of their gem store and the ascended crafting I can still find myself having a good time.  Elder Scrolls is offering everything for a subscription which I am really looking forward to because I can budget for $14.99 and know that I'm not missing out on anything.  Guild Wars doesn't do that, if I budget for $10 or $20 in GW2, I can't get the whole new months content, I have to make a choice for what I want out of the gem store and that's unacceptable to me.

I will be playing both equally, meaning FFXIV will probably get the axe :\

If you meet yourself on the testing track, don't make eye contact. Lab boys tell me that'll wipe out time. Entirely.

My partner and I we will be staying in GW2, we are on a budget and we are both gamers, there is no way we can buy two copies of the game and pay two subscriptions at the same time :c

I will be playing both, though when ESO comes out it'll be lighter on the GW2 side to begin with as I get a toon through the game for the first time. :)

I will be playing on both games.  GW2 is our home. It is for Roger's memory and honor and I will be here as long as the game exists. That being said, I will also be playing ESO as I look forward to the battles in Cyrodil.  A large AvA battlefield will be an awesome experience and should provide a lot of enjoyment for everyone.  ESO will also permit our guild to encompass more members at a time which will be such a great treat. It will be difficult as I am on a fixed income and will be paying for both my partner and myself, but I think the game will prove to be something very special.

I will play on both, but I think I will stay mostly with GW2.  At least for the first little while.
