anyone looked at continent of the ninth? If you can hunt down a HD video of the gameplay you'll see what looks like benchmark currently as far as graphics, combos, etc etc.

Unfortunately, by the time GW2 comes out I think it'll be overshadowed by many other clones that produce the platform. The edge they retain is that its free to play once you pay the initial cost. I wonder if they nerf hammer GW in order to "motivate" players to move on to GW2.
