![[image loading]](http://teamlegacy.net/uploads/77ba91f85cf886b7467cb81559734337.jpg) Anet has released a lore post on the latest race. The Krait are your typical evil amphibian snake people, and carry a resemblance to the Naga found in WoW. Of course as GW veterans know, these have been around since the first game, and judging from the given info, they haven't changed one bit. They are ruthless beings that are not only vicious, but completely ignorant of those around them. They fight for themselves, and if the given task has no purpose or gain for the Krait, they take their leave. In GW1 these guys were no joke, and it looks to be the same in GW2. This is another great iniative by ArenaNet to release more lore like this, and so far its been awesome. The big question remains however, what of the Mesmer?

MMO = massively multiplayer online they are MMO's. This If you are looking for a MMORPG game and Diablo 3 doesn't fit your style there really isn't much on the market. BF3 is a FPS MMO with added strategic game play so yes i am serious. | ||

Where is the persistence in either of these? Just because they can be played online doesn't technically mean they are MMO. Perhaps these games have some major gameplay implementation I'm totally not aware of? Edit: Anywho, done with conversation don't wanna clog up the thread Thanks. I've heard all sorts of iterations of the word MMO, with most people replacing it with "mmorpg" to clarify a said rpg, like wow, or warhammer. | ||

If diablo keeps the system of D2 its not massive , you could count the players playing along you with your hands. | ||

Heres a wiki definition for you " A massively multiplayer online game (also called MMO and MMOG) is a multiplayer video game which is capable of supporting hundreds or thousands of players simultaneously. By necessity, they are played on the Internet, and feature at least one persistent world." | ||

Battlefield 3 is just an FPS with multiplayer, it's not comparable to an MMO in any sense. Same with diablo 3. | ||

Though I have to admit, I'm looking forward to SWTOR a little more. But it doesn't matter as I will be playing both games! Have you already seen the alpha/beta footage shown for swtor? Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge SW fan, but the game really needs a kick in the right direction. | ||
