Gonna be great.

Last night I got in trouble with my pregnant wife when I mentioned that I was glad our kid will be born long before this game comes out. When she asked "what if the baby was born on the launch weekend" and I replied "Then I'll see you two when come home" things went a bit sour. LOL. I mostly joking.

LOL ... I had a similar experience when my kido was born except it was a buddy of mine that through under the bus by saying how lucky I was when some game came out. Have no fear I was in trouble the moment I agreed, I think I can almost hear your wifes voice now.

One of the (many) things I really appreciated about Guild Wars was the ability to, in effect, "pause" the game to deal with real-life situations that come up.

In GW, assuming you were soloing something, you could stop halfway into a dungeon, go take your wife to the hospital, have the baby, and then get back to playing after you got home -- all without ever getting "logged off", "timed out", or killed by respawns. That feature was a real life-saver for me on a number of occasions. ;)

It'd sure be great if the instances in other games, such as SWTOR, worked the same way.
