SW:TOR because I'm tired of wizards and elves (call them Sylvari or whatever). Can try GW2 if SW:TOR, TSW and WoD all fail and GW2 reviews assure that it's more than glorified GW1.
I'm sick of elves as well. My current plan is for both unless something horrible comes in for GW2 like p2w.

I salute you, OP, for creating yet another pointless thread that is less than a paragraph long, has no real purpose and is designed only to spark pathetic arguments between fanboys and summon the troll army to this website.
And as to the only person game enough to reply, congratulations to you also. It takes real balls to post one and a half sentences detailing how you'll play two games. Great, care to elaborate. Of course not, who needs an actual reason for posting when you can just fall back on the power of trolling and laugh awkwardly at another unreleased game!
/sarcasm off
I'm really getting sick of all these stupid, attention-whore posts that serve only to draw in people who can't argue a debate properly and haven't even played the game yet.
EDIT: Some more people replied while I was writing this. Please refer to my statement above if you feel left out.
I'm really sick of the whole "There's a massive fanbase for X", or "Y would be a WoW-killer if it just had a chance".
There is no massive conspiracy waiting in the MMO playerbase.
There are no "sleeper-agent fans" waiting to convert once the X or Y is unleashed on the world.
If I had to chose, I'd chose GW2, no contest whatsoever. SWTOR might be good enough to play until the real deal is here, then again quite a few games might be.
After playing the beta I can easily say I will be playing SW. The game is simply amazing, IMO. Doesn't help that I didn't like GW1 and I really didn't like the AOE grind fest that was WoTLK which it looks like GW2 will turn out being.
To everyone who doubts GW2 because they didn't like GW1, what was it about GW1 that you didn't like? Is it in GW2?
To everyone whining about comparison threads...don't post in them and don't read them if thats how you feel.
To everyone who says they will try both...awesome, open minded is the way to be.
To everyone who feels that they aren't going to play GW2 or SWTOR because of some feature they haven't actually looked into or the lack of some feature that they heard won't be in it and haven't bothered to look it up...you obviously have some other game that takes up your attention, so why are you posting here?
Now to the 2 games important to this thread........./sarcasm on
I will not be playing SWTOR because starwars galaxies was horrid. This thread is pointless, and I am tired of these pointless threads. None of you should play either game. I know EVERYTHING about both games and can tell you that (insert fictional game here) is better in every way.
/sarcasm off
OK...
I am going to play GW2. Initially, the only real reason I had was the fact that I played and enjoyed GW1, so why not play GW2. After I played the demo at a convention, I knew that I would not enjoy any other game as much as GW2. I really don't expect anyone who hasn't either REALLY researched the game or played the demo to have anything more that superficial reasons to play GW2. After the open beta or the release has happened for BOTH games, we can have meaningful discussions on this matter, but until then I am perfectly fine debating the value of GW2 vs any game. I have the time.
I used to TL;DR, but then I took a bullet point to the footnote.
Im taking a cautionary stance with TOR.Im too concerned it'll be too run of the mill for my tastes these days.My main draw for the game would be that its Bioware,which isnt your usual main attraction to a game anyway.
I'll be waiting a month or so after release to see reviews/reaction.
SWTOR is the Best game in the world, it defies all things that are expected of it and goes beyond the beyonder in Spiderman to become God himself. And GW2 is the devil just trying to trick you into believing what isn't the truth; you can't build a game from the ground up based on one idea... that's phsyically and mentally and catastrophically and californicationally impossible.
Now that I've finished brainfarting... I like real-time dodging, it just feels good.
Since GW2 has no sub and is coming out many months later I will be playing both. I'm telling ya though, I have followed both GW2 and TOR since they were announced and I really think the people praising GW2 as a the best things since men landed on the moon or god created the heavens and the earth are going to be dissapointed.
While I think it is going to be a good, solid game with innovation I have watched it being played and seen many hours of footage. I am setting my expectations appropriately as it is still, at its heart, an MMO like many others. There are still non-voiced vendors and quest givers (with cut scenes) that have you running from place to place. Still I think it is going to be fun as is TOR.
Bioware has not claimed that TOR will be the great innovator (other than the fully voiced part) and is just trying to be a good game so I believe expectations for TOR are more level set.
Anyway, I can't wait to play both of them and then I have to figure out how to squeeze Secret World in too.
Guild Wars 2. I don't see anything in TOR that makes me want to pay a subscription fee. If GW2 had one, I most likely wouldn't bother with it either. I don't have enough $$$ for 2 subs atm.
Definitely SWTOR, as I'm not sold on GW2 being as epic as the fans make it out to be. However, I will play both games. GW2 will just be there when I need a change of pace from time to time, however.
I was planning on playing both about a year ago. But after I review more and more info on GW2, I just don't see that style of gaming being for me. It has nothing to do with the game itself, it is just not what I want to play. SWTOR fits the bill much more for what I am looking for.
How many people long for that "past, simpler, and better world," I wonder, without ever recognizing the truth that perhaps it was they who were simpler and better, and not the world about them? R.A.Salvatore

SWTOR all the way did not like GW1 so GW2 might go in same boat dont know as of yet i know i like SWTOR all i can say for now.
there will be MORE than enough time to max level and get sick of SWTOR before guild wars 2 comes out. so both.
Hmm. How original. Both of you.

BAM! From what I have seen I would pay 15.00 a month to play GW2 over playing SWTOR for free.

Considering GW2 has no monthly fee, I'm going to play both. SWTOR looks awesome as does GW2. Also this way I get my fantasy and Sci-fi.=D
How many GW2-S.W.T.O.R. threads are we gonna see? Go away already.
To everyone who doubts GW2 because they didn't like GW1, what was it about GW1 that you didn't like? Is it in GW2?

Why choose?
Play both!
I mean, I just bought BF3 but that isn't going to affect my decision to buy COD:MW3 later this week.
Gdemami -
Informing people about your thoughts and impressions is not a review, it's a blog.
At this point neither. If I ever do change my mind and pick one up, it'll be GW2.
Guild Wars 2 is lookin way better now that I have tried swtor out in beta. swtor makes me just say been there done that...
At this point only GW2
Im taking a cautionary stance with TOR.Im too concerned it'll be too run of the mill for my tastes these days.My main draw for the game would be that its Bioware,which isnt your usual main attraction to a game anyway.
I'll be waiting a month or so after release to see reviews/reaction.
GW 2 in a heartbeat.
Fresh thinking on classes
True crafting not gathering like SWTOR
Server vs server conflict
OH YES !
SWTOR is the Best game in the world, it defies all things that are expected of it and goes beyond the beyonder in Spiderman to become God himself. And GW2 is the devil just trying to trick you into believing what isn't the truth; you can't build a game from the ground up based on one idea... that's phsyically and mentally and catastrophically and californicationally impossible.
Now that I've finished brainfarting... I like real-time dodging, it just feels good.
This is not a game.
Since GW2 has no sub and is coming out many months later I will be playing both. I'm telling ya though, I have followed both GW2 and TOR since they were announced and I really think the people praising GW2 as a the best things since men landed on the moon or god created the heavens and the earth are going to be dissapointed.

Bioware has not claimed that TOR will be the great innovator (other than the fully voiced part) and is just trying to be a good game so I believe expectations for TOR are more level set.
Anyway, I can't wait to play both of them and then I have to figure out how to squeeze Secret World in too.
I waited too long to be able to play the Star Wars game that I have since decided to not touch the franchise anymore in anyway.
GW2 does look fun anyway and I got an online friend who's in Alpha that sends me screenies every once in a while. ;-)

A more addictive game I have not yet encountered.
I was planning on playing both about a year ago. But after I review more and more info on GW2, I just don't see that style of gaming being for me. It has nothing to do with the game itself, it is just not what I want to play. SWTOR fits the bill much more for what I am looking for.
