The E3 demo was pretty cool. Pretty much like a next-gen Diablo 2.

Also, props to the artists at Arena for turning the game around in the last 6 months or so. GW used to look like real butt, but these days it's looking damn nice.

  I hear that. The only thing I wish is that they had a true Rogue class. Fun as hell though. : Kiriakos

      Ya, but Rogues are the coolest class in RPGs :) : Kiriakos
      
      yeah but if another class does all of the things it would normally do, why not just be that other class? : artillery

Ummm, where is the PvP content? Unless I'm just blind and stupid (a good possibility) I dont see anything on PvP besides just a little mention of the fact there will be PvP, butt hats it.

The screenies do look bitchen though.

ArenaNet's Guild Wars, however, will turn its focus to something else entirely--player-versus-player (PvP) battles, in which you'll do most of your fighting against teams of other human players. Though the upcoming game will still let you go off on leisurely hack-and-slash adventures, it will put much more of a focus on strategy and tactics.

Ranger is the closest to a Rogue as you can get with the few poison attacks you can get, but as far as good melee Rogue, there isn't one.
