Where are the cyber friendly races? Hot sexy elves, preferably with mailboxes to dance on.

I don't like who ever wrote these. S.O.B.s like that should keep out of MMOS entirely.

But good to know we'll be getting elf info soon.

Heh. That's blatant display of ignorance. The writer...

1. Didn't bother to research his topic in-deph.
2. Is flaunting his partiallity for World of Warcraft.
3. All of the above.

Very exciting to hear that the elf info will be revealed day 1 of the convention! I was scared it would be the 26th or something :o.

True, but how much info will they be releasing?

We'll just have to see now won't we?

I could've swore I heard somewhere that they were spilling the beans on all the careers at Leipzig... *crosses fingers* here's to hoping. :(

I'm interested in seeing the full lighting effects on like they said. Nevermind the elf info.

Actually you did forget option D.

D). Is joking.

Seriously, I actually think Fahey doesn't really care much for WoW (several of Kotaku's contributer's have said as much in other posts) but he could be. ::Shrug::

Not discounting the humor at all. Just sensed an immediate skepticism too. I guess I've seen to many flame threads on the matter. *sigh*

I hope he comes back later with an enteraining and favorable review of the convention.

Well...surely SOMEONE from a fansite will be going. Hopefully a moderator or something, i'd trust a moderator over some random person.

I'm just as excited to hear that the new lighting engine will be on display!

Can't wait to see what places like the Graveyard Scenario look like with that. There better be someone there with a good handcam and steady arms!

not really thats how Kotaku reports. they put a lot of sarcasm and humor in there reports because for the most part what gamer wants to be reading say the New your times on games. Kotaku is my favorite gamin site because they highlight really interesting news. And they make fun of my Buddy Jack T.

Actually, they'll reveal them at the press presentation on wednesday, BEFORE the actual convention which starts for the public on thursday..
Buut, since I'm going to be at the press convention I'll be sure to call home and get someone to post the classes here for me or something like that :p

Wouldn't it have been more Appropo to reveal the Empire information at Leipzig and the Elf information earlier?

Hmmm... Guess they could've released the Chaos info in LA if they wanted to do things that way.

They'll be showcasing some much anticipated info and showing siege warfare and such, I'm a follower of both games, AoC and WAR, WAR first then AoC, and even with AoCs pushback which was much needed, AoC brings more variety of a game to the table, and WAR honestly when it comes to combat, not necessarily the game itself is a polished WoW in my opinion....I just can't wait until I get into beta for WAR when the baltimore gamesday'ers will get in, so I can find out for myself if my assumptions are true or not.

Has anyone seen the Wallace and Gromit movie? The most hillarious scene ever was when there was an angry mob about to arise and this one booth quickly changed its shop sign from (I think) gardening supplies to angry mob supplies ^^

The whole movie was actually quite good.

Illya

We can only cross our fingers and hope we're getting what we want. I think we have four major groups. The Witch Elf fans, the Corsair fans, the Sorceress fans, and the [tank-class] fans. There are of course fans for other potential classes, like Executioners, Black Guard, Cold One Knights. All of those are potential tanks, and I don't really know how much the interest varies in between.

I think between getting two classes + info, or getting 4 classes and no info, I'd prefer the latter. I doubt it'll be that, but I'd prefer that, we can relax and stop worrying about what the other two classes will be. If they're existing classes, we can look at artwork and fluff, and discuss that, rather than continuing this torturing wait on what we're actually going to be able to play.

Wearing robes is a slippery slope to wearing corsets - and wearing corsets is a slippery slope to infant sacrifice. And infant sacrifice is a slippery slope to libertarianism.

I love this thread. XD

I had quite a good laugh reading through all of it, when I'd just expected lots and lots, of "Sweet jebus! Tomorrow can't. come. faster!" Only a couple hours from now, I guess. I'm considering sticking it out all night and day, just to see it the moment info is released. >.>
