 * 02:57 Kilrathi|PAX     ok im out  ill be back later tonight more likely around midnight pst
 * 03:11 PAXZen           Scott is a short man.
 * 03:13 PAXZen           It was a long and painful day.  Running, interviews and such.  Only got to play enough to get to level 7 on rift, as an Assassin, and 4 as a Champion.
 * 03:14 PAXZen           Of course, I did burn 5-10 minutes just letting a rift do its thing.
 * 03:14 iddqd            you watched it grow?
 * 03:16 PAXZen           iddqd: Yeah, just watched it get bigger for a ways away.
 * 03:17 Xanax            how was the aggro radius at the low level vs the rift mobs?
 * 03:18 PAXZen           Xanax: Not much new stuff.  They only had the Elementalist, Assassin, Ranger, and Champion callings on preview, and Abi tried to get me in on the instance run, but I had an interview with Warren Spector.
 * 03:18 Xanax            Oh nice, thanks for the update
 * 03:18 Xanax            Maybe in the following days :)
 * 03:18 PAXZen           Things I noticed: Rifts appear on the map.  Mobs are definitely tethered.
 * 03:18 PAXZen           I ran through a couple just to see how long they'd follow me.
 * 03:19 Xanax            tethered?
 * 03:19 iddqd            leashed
 * 03:19 Xanax            Hows the mechanics and motions feel? pretty smooth?
 * 03:19 Malleus73        Pax, sorry if I'm not familar with your page but where / when will the interview be available for us to see?
 * 03:20 PAXZen           The Warren Spector one?  I have to write it up tonight, so probably tomorrow.
 * 03:20 Xanax            If you guys want to upload anything to my pages you can :D
 * 03:20 PAXZen           I'm going to be talking to the Trion guys tomorrow or tomorrow night sometime.
 * 03:21 Malleus73        lol.. ok.. guess I need to be more patient. :/
 * 03:21 PAXZen           Xanax: Yeah, it was all pretty smooth.  Definitely a polished experience.
 * 03:21 Faelor           Oh hey Zen, sneaky sneaky.
 * 03:22 PAXZen           I want to rock the instance run either tomorrow or sunday, since 10 pts isn't enough to really play with the calling.
 * 03:22 iddqd            Zen if you're interested in SWTOR there's this thing going on tomorrow http://twitter.com/swtor
 * 03:23 PAXZen           I played a sith inquisitor today.
 * 03:23 Xanax            nice PAXZen, man i look forward to it!!
 * 03:23 Braen            how was that?
 * 03:23 Xanax            especially the pve content
 * 03:23 PAXZen           Tis WoW in space, but the voice acting really adds to the experience.
 * 03:23 Faelor           Did you level to 10 or was it a /level thing?
 * 03:25 PAXZen           You have to level yourself.  The girlfriend actually got farther than me on the Mage she was playing.
 * 03:25 Braen            what soul was she checking out?
 * 03:26 Xanax            will she be playing with you PAXZen ?
 * 03:26 * Faelor         flies away
 * 03:26 PAXZen           I think she was a pyromancer.
 * 03:26 Chokurei         Where is this convention?
 * 03:26 Braen            nice... haha
 * 03:27 PAXZen           This was her first exposure to the game and she really enjoyed it
 * 03:27 Xanax            oh nbice
 * 03:27 Braen            did leveling semi too.fast or just right to you?
 * 03:28 Xanax            i would say during gamescom its hard to experience, because things are set on +easy mode
 * 03:28 Braen            and did yall group or try to level.solo?
 * 03:28 PAXZen           Seemed about right.  My only issue is the announcements, like "Rift Closed" or "Leveled up"
 * 03:29 PAXZen           Seemed a bit much, but if I wasn't playing attention, I could see them be useful.
 * 03:29 Braen            in what way?
 * 03:29 Braen            loud?
 * 03:29 PAXZen           Girlfriend thought they were epic.
 * 03:29 PAXZen           Just very flashy.
 * 03:29 Xanax            preteens <3 the shinies
 * 03:30 Xanax            not implying your gf was, sorry, that sounded bad
 * 03:30 Braen            so to closed some rifts?  how was that?
 * 03:31 PAXZen           Rift opens, wait a bit, mobs spawn in waves that get larger in enemy type.
 * 03:31 PAXZen           After the third wave, the rift closes.
 * 03:31 Xanax            How is the time between waves? pretty slow or you need to be organized n quick?
 * 03:31 Faelor           You don't want C-C-C-COMOBO BREAKER! exploding on your screen?
 * 03:31 Faelor           .. .Combo.
 * 03:32 PAXZen           It seemed that you had to finish a wave before the next one came.
 * 03:33 PAXZen           I'll try starting a wave tomorrow and then letting it run wild.
 * 03:33 Xanax            I hope their is like a proximity around the rift that it uses to decide if mobns are dead or alive before spawning the next rift
 * 03:33 Xanax            would hate to kill aall mobs but 1 and have it lone wandering trying to get the next stage to come lol
 * 03:33 Braen            did you see anything become planetouched like they have mentioned before?
 * 03:34 PAXZen           Well with the leash, I doubt the rift spawns will get far from the rift.  (I'll check that tomorrow too)
 * 03:34 PAXZen           I did not.
 * 03:35 Xanax            Well thanks for the info Zen
 * 03:35 PAXZen           Invasions were cool, seeing a mob or two run for the guards and do their thing.
 * 03:36 PAXZen           (their thing being dying)
 * 03:36 Mira             Do the village people fight the mobs?
 * 03:36 PAXZen           The guards are currently stronger than the invasion mobs.
 * 03:36 Xanax            oh nice lol
 * 03:36 Xanax            how is the targeting and mob differences on the target display?
 * 03:36 Braen            is the cop village person better than the Indian one?
 * 03:37 Xanax            is it easy to tell between reg mobs and elites, etc?
 * 03:37 Braen            did they nerd he cop village person?
 * 03:38 PAXZen           Braen: High five on the reference.
 * 03:38 PAXZen           Xanax: Yes.
 * 03:38 PAXZen           Though we only saw one.
 * 03:38 Xanax            Oh nice
 * 03:38 PAXZen           Big dude.  Something Firecaller.
 * 03:38 Xanax            ohhhhhh sick
 * 03:38 Mira             Nice, I was wondering how interactive they were.
 * 03:40 PAXZen           Rotation wise, the Assassin was: Strike four or five times, and then Finishing Blow (like a Wow Rogue)
 * 03:41 Faelor           Sounds like all Rogues will be like ;p
 * 03:41 Faelor           Later Braen mang.
 * 03:41 PAXZen           The Champion was: Bleed Move, Strike three times, Combo Move, repeat.
 * 03:41 PAXZen           TThe charge move can only be used out of combat.
 * 03:41 PAXZen           Which was kinda lame.
 * 03:41 PAXZen           Night Braen.
 * 03:42 Faelor           I'm sure there will be a branch ability to change that by release ;p
 * 03:42 Braen            have fun Zen. keep up the info.
 * 04:18 Mira             can you talk about what impressed you or your impressions from your play today?
 * 04:22 PAXZen           Impressions.  Hurm.
 * 04:23 Sinvrall         Well enligthen
 * 04:23 Cranks           Night all
 * 04:23 Sinvrall         night
 * 04:23 Mira             night Cranks
 * 04:24 PAXZen           First I played the Assassin, who is mostly like the WoW Rogue in that his finishing blows are powered by combo points that stack on the target.
 * 04:24 Sinvrall         Kinda like most rogues throughout MMO history
 * 04:24 Mira             similiar to WH too
 * 04:24 Sinvrall         SHadowbane three
 * 04:24 PAXZen           He had a few other attacks, like a Backstab and stealth move, but I can't say I enjoy the playstyle myself.
 * 04:25 Sinvrall         WHat is your playstyle?
 * 04:25 Mira             assassin has invis?
 * 04:25 PAXZen           The Champion was much more fun for me, with a OoC charge move, a basic strike, a bleed, and a finishing blow.
 * 04:26 PAXZen           Unfortunately, as I said earlier, the charge move was only usable if you weren't in combat.
 * 04:26 Mira             so it's an opening move only?
 * 04:26 PAXZen           The Champion just felt more dynamic and powerful (for me, YMMV)
 * 04:26 PAXZen           Yep.
 * 04:26 Sinvrall         The merc in DAOC had a skill called dirty tricks where you'd throw dirt in your opponents eyes as a stun. Games need more dirty tricks
 * 04:27 Mira             lol I remember that
 * 04:27 PAXZen           Rifts spawned randomly, but they also seemed to have a stable Rift respawning for the demo area.
 * 04:28 Mira             did they have more than one in an area?
 * 04:28 PAXZen           Rift either breaks open, or there's an item you can use to tear it open (demo only maybe)
 * 04:28 Sinvrall         Any pvp teasers other than instanced?
 * 04:28 PAXZen           I only saw fire rifts.
 * 04:28 HorRIFTic        Hey Guys, HorRIFTic Intentions blog here
 * 04:28 Sinvrall         Hey Hor
 * 04:28 PAXZen           I dueled one guy.  Lost.  Nothing outside of that so far.
 * 04:29 Sinvrall         thanks pax
 * 04:29 PAXZen           Duel request, flag drops, countdown.
 * 04:29 HorRIFTic        Any information on Armor sets?  will there be any?  do they give bonuses?
 * 04:29 * Anasazi        nom nom noms a beer
 * 04:30 Sinvrall         me to Anasaz... Getting ready for friday night here in Honolulu
 * 04:30 PAXZen           I'm sure there will be some, as gear is marked for souls, but I didn't get to see any.
 * 04:31 PAXZen           Kilrathi got to be a part of today's instance run, so he might have some more on the gear side.
 * 04:33 PAXZen           oh, and there didn't seem to be a dance animation for men, at least when I tried it.
 * 04:33 Anasazi          xanax promised me a new funny cartoon. xanax no make!
 * 04:33 PAXZen           My girlfriend's mage had one.
 * 04:33 Sinvrall         He's too busy drinking a keg Anasaz
 * 04:34 Ravenwolf        T.T qq at not getting to go to pax
 * 04:34 Mira             dang maybe they haven't done all the dances
 * 04:34 PAXZen           Fall damage can kill of course. (yes, I found a high cliff and jumped)
 * 04:34 HorRIFTic        what was the dance animation?
 * 04:34 PAXZen           A little side to side wiggle.  Nothing memorable.
 * 04:38 PAXZen           There were some of those beta cards pretty much everywhere.  I assume they were the 'chance at beta' ones as they were given out like candy.
 * 04:39 Ravenwolf        im gunna have to rely on my stunning looks to get me into beta
 * 04:39 HorRIFTic        PAXzen, any more info on Beastmasters?  Think that is the class I wanna play
 * 04:39 HorRIFTic        Raven, you are in trouble then.  : )

 * 04:40 PAXZen           Nope.  The loadout of classes

 * 05:34 Anasazi          http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2200590644#!/group.php?gid=2200590644&v=info
 * 05:41 Kilrathi|BYOC    writing a write up of pax day 1 of rift
 * 05:41 Kilrathi|BYOC    didnt take much video of the game because its mostly the same stuff
 * 05:41 Kilrathi|BYOC    as at gamecoms
 * 05:41 Kilrathi|BYOC    of course ill video the instance runs
 * 05:41 Anasazi          what does this mean from PAX? •PvP Flag is a go on PvE servers
 * 05:42 slack            i'd image it means you can 'PVP flag' yourself, allowing people from the opposite faction to attack you..
 * 05:45 Kilrathi|BYOC    well first saturday for me is portal 2 get to play that before a 3hour+ line starts
 * 05:50 Kilrathi|BYOC    ok shoot me up questions
 * 05:51 Thee             Was there anything you did not like when you played the game?
 * 05:52 Kilrathi|BYOC    more toon creation options if thats your thing but that im sure will be increased over time
 * 05:55 Kilrathi|BYOC    its the same build from what i could tell
 * 05:55 Selene           did you get to run around? were the zones decently sized?
 * 05:55 Thee             ah i see
 * 05:56 Kilrathi|BYOC    i only got up to level 10 the zone was pretty straight forward, there is quest helper like feature built into the map
 * 05:56 HorRIFTic        How is the combat?  Fast like WoW or mushy like WAR?
 * 05:57 Kilrathi|BYOC    well i only got to level 10 (i played a sin) so it felt inline with eq2
 * 05:58 HorRIFTic        Any evidence of armor sets at all?  And do armor sets give set bonuses?
 * 06:00 Kilrathi|BYOC    i didnt see any "set bonuses", im sure ill get to see better    look at the better gear in instance runs
 * 06:00 Mira             what kind of loot have you gotten?
 * 06:01 Kilrathi|BYOC    simple greens that each one of the core roles
 * 06:01 Mira             like armor pieces?  smart loot?  vendor trash, coin?
 * 06:02 HorRIFTic        How are the quests?  Standard MMO quests or do they have a spin on them?  Something different?
 * 06:02 Kilrathi|BYOC    i was soloing all the time
 * 06:02 Kilrathi|BYOC    standard mmo afair
 * 06:02 bc               whats the music like?
 * 06:03 Kilrathi|BYOC    i didnt have the head phones because i was talking to devs at the same time
 * 06:03 brammator        what's "world bosses"? contested?
 * 06:03 brammator        or instanced?
 * 06:03 Kilrathi|BYOC    contested yes
 * 06:03 Kilrathi|BYOC    1 is currently in the alpha build i was told
 * 06:04 Maeloda          just rejoined the chat - im visualizing everyone crowding around kilrathi like hes jesus
 * 06:04 HorRIFTic        Any word on how PvP servers are going to work?  PvP anywhere?
 * 06:04 brammator        one sweet 24/7 camping, bitter please.
 * 06:05 Kilrathi|BYOC    didnt ask much about pvp today thats for saturday, today i wanted to get the raid question out of the way
 * 06:05 brammator        any outleveling?
 * 06:05 HorRIFTic        Nice, any additional info you can give us on raids?
 * 06:05 Mira             raid question?
 * 06:05 brammator        gray mobs that dont attack you? gray gear?
 * 06:05 Kilrathi|BYOC    i didnt test that i should tho lol
 * 06:06 Kilrathi|BYOC    btw when /duel if you win you do
 * 06:06 Ravenwolf        so the raid content is max level i presume?
 * 06:06 Maeloda          unless they reduce it to near nothing
 * 06:06 Kilrathi|BYOC    yes
 * 06:06 HorRIFTic        10 and 20 man raids?
 * 06:07 Kilrathi|BYOC    but they stated earlier that there maybe lower lvl raids im not 100%
 * 06:07 Kilrathi|BYOC    yes hor
 * 06:07 brammator        yeah I think I saw that on "dungeon irc session" too
 * 06:07 Kilrathi|BYOC    as for raid content there is 2 raids zones in
 * 06:08 brammator        macro system?
 * 06:08 Kilrathi|BYOC    1 has 10 bosses hammerknell fortress and 1 has single dragon greenscales bright
 * 06:08 brammator        any traces of moddable interface?
 * 06:08 Kilrathi|BYOC    there was a macro sytem in the menu system but i didnt play with it
 * 06:08 Selene2          will they add more raids before launch?
 * 06:08 Kilrathi|BYOC    well theres also Rift raids too
 * 06:09 HorRIFTic        How many world bosses?  Any idea?
 * 06:09 Maeloda          rift
 * 06:09 Maeloda          raids
 * 06:09 Maeloda          do we..
 * 06:09 Kilrathi|BYOC    1 hotr in game so far
 * 06:09 Maeloda          enter?
 * 06:09 HorRIFTic        hotr?
 * 06:09 Kilrathi|BYOC    ill have to find out more details
 * 06:09 Kilrathi|BYOC    hor  i mean
 * 06:10 Rioku            Kilrathi have u posted the pics somewhere?
 * 06:10 Kilrathi|BYOC    yea  uploads seem slow as hell tho
 * 06:10 Maeloda          yeah that would be really neat if they had the entering of rifts/planes in release
 * 06:10 Maeloda          but i doubt it
 * 06:10 HorRIFTic        expansion probably
 * 06:11 Kilrathi|BYOC    as for expansion there will be bigs ones and small ones
 * 06:11 Ravenwolf        yea if you get a chance see if they will talka bout entering rifts
 * 06:11 Maeloda          is by rift raids you mean just pushing forward toward the enemy that has entrenched itself?
 * 06:11 Kilrathi|BYOC    fighting big raid like boss yes
 * 06:11 Maeloda          considering the server architecture they are using, id expect that for expansion content - keep it fresh, i think they will :)
 * 06:11 HorRIFTic        you mean big paid expansions and smaller free ones?
 * 06:12 Kilrathi|BYOC    didnt ask about price but i will
 * 06:12 Maeloda          i think the smaller ones, in a theory here.. would be like microtransactions, but worth it lol
 * 06:12 Maeloda          just an idea
 * 06:12 Ravenwolf        nice
 * 06:12 Kilrathi|BYOC    mael theres alot of eq2 hate here
 * 06:12 Kilrathi|BYOC    microtranactions is like a evil word lol
 * 06:12 Anasazi          i hate eq2
 * 06:12 Maeloda          i know!
 * 06:13 Ravenwolf        did they mention if they were already mapping expacs out? or are they just worrying abou tmain game now?
 * 06:13 Mira             I hate RMTs
 * 06:13 Maeloda          thats why i said worth it. they'd have to again make it worth it
 * 06:13 Kilrathi|BYOC    they have plans
 * 06:13 Maeloda          not silly..costume packs or whatever
 * 06:13 Selene2          are they planning on releasing new content often?
 * 06:13 HorRIFTic        World size?  Any ideas?
 * 06:13 Maeloda          they better this long into development lol :P fail otherwise
 * 06:13 Selene2          as in, more often than blizzard? lol
 * 06:14 Maeloda          blizz has to redo things and even have dedicated servers for new content, trion shouldn't have that problem
 * 06:14 Kilrathi|BYOC    nothing set in yet, it depends on size of the expansion i would guessz
 * 06:14 HorRIFTic        Could you get any idea about the size of the world?
 * 06:14 Kilrathi|BYOC    and new souls can be easily added
 * 06:14 Maeloda          oh yeah, world size
 * 06:15 Kilrathi|BYOC    world map wasnt there
 * 06:15 Maeloda          whoops horrift got it :)
 * 06:15 Kilrathi|BYOC    i can ask tho ;)
 * 06:15 HorRIFTic        any info on Port Scion?
 * 06:15 Kilrathi|BYOC    havent asked
 * 06:15 Ravenwolf        Yea ask if what the current map is going to be the only stuff at release <3
 * 06:16 Selene2          i second that!
 * 06:16 HorRIFTic        ok, gotta ask....any hints on beta?  even teeny weeny hints?  :)
 * 06:16 Maeloda          yeah the map part seems to be a sticking issue with fans - at least if the map is all they have, people can be at peace with knowing and not wondering lmao
 * 06:17 Kilrathi|BYOC    beta this year
 * 06:18 HorRIFTic        solo vs. group content...what are they focusing on?
 * 06:18 brammator        any names revealed? aside of chloroform dude and stormcaller and icecream
 * 06:18 brammator        soul names
 * 06:18 Maeloda          nah that dec 31 stuff is likely the end of a beta phase, closed or otherwise
 * 06:18 Kilrathi|BYOC    i an get more names :)
 * 06:19 Maeloda          its a Q1 release, and they seem to still want room to fix things just in case,sooo
 * 06:19 Ravenwolf        yea the dec 31st i reckon is near end of beta or closed beta phase anyway
 * 06:19 Maeloda          if not sept (im doubting it imo), then oct/nov
 * 06:19 Kilrathi|BYOC    thats a target btw
 * 06:19 brammator        mage "tank" soul is in?
 * 06:20 Ravenwolf        any word of a necromancer lovely Kilrathi?
 * 06:20 HorRIFTic        lets slow down so he can answer questions, lol
 * 06:20 Kilrathi|BYOC    stay tune
 * 06:20 Ravenwolf        oh you tease
 * 06:20 Anasazi          think someone at Trion will adopt me so I can get in freinds and family?
 * 06:20 Ravenwolf        ^.~
 * 06:21 HorRIFTic        I will adopt you :)  Might not get you into beta though
 * 06:21 Kilrathi|BYOC    as for solo vs grp content if i recall right that was answer earlier
 * 06:21 Ravenwolf        can we be adopted as fraternal twins anasazi?
 * 06:21 Anasazi          sure if t gets us in
 * 06:21 HorRIFTic        I got a Gamescom code, so I hope that gets me in, lol
 * 06:21 HorRIFTic        Found a forum that was giving them away, lol
 * 06:21 Kilrathi|BYOC    btw there is a bit of "lag" here so i get you message about a minute late
 * 06:27 Kilrathi|BYOC    nothing that cio hasnt coverd yet
 * 06:28 Maeloda          i love showing people this game
 * 06:28 Mira             hmm nothing left... as in blank space?  will you fall off the map?
 * 06:29 Maeloda          and i didnt even realize how cryptic it was until you said that lol
 * 06:30 * Mira           raises an eyebrow
 * 06:30 Maeloda          i want to visit Cliffside Vale now :)
 * 06:30 Kilrathi|BYOC    so any have any question for me to bring down to the booth
 * 06:30 Maeloda          maps
 * 06:30 HorRIFTic        Port Scion
 * 06:30 HorRIFTic        need info on Port Scion
 * 06:30 Mira             crafting if possible
 * 06:31 Kilrathi|BYOC    what about maps
 * 06:31 Maeloda          character customization, whether its staying as it
 * 06:31 Maeloda          is
 * 06:31 Selene2          size, if there's gonna be more zones or not
 * 06:31 Selene2          that type of map stuff
 * 06:31 Maeloda          yup
 * 06:31 Mira             world size?
 * 06:31 HorRIFTic        How are PvP servers set up?  Kill opposite faction anywhere?  hopefully
 * 06:31 Maeloda          yup
 * 06:31 HorRIFTic        Add ons seem to be a hot forum topic so ask about that
 * 06:32 Mira             or zone size?
 * 06:32 Selene2          both!
 * 06:32 HorRIFTic        I would love to have some more beastmaster info
 * 06:32 Selene2          i wanna know if the map we saw is complete
 * 06:32 Mira             check out the new mages
 * 06:32 Selene2          and...ask them when we're gonna have more mage class info
 * 06:32 HorRIFTic        Also, someone mentioned a tank-mage soul, is that in?
 * 06:32 Selene2          nvm mira beat me to it lol
 * 06:33 Kilrathi|BYOC    i already got stuff for the other mage classes going to see if i can get them spit it out
 * 06:34 HorRIFTic        Beastmaster, Port Scion and PvP server information are my three biggest questions.  Oh, and add-ons
 * 06:35 Kilrathi|BYOC    as in threat metter and dead boss type stuff
 * 06:36 HorRIFTic        just will add-ons be allowed in general
 * 06:36 Kilrathi|BYOC    got ya
 * 06:36 Selene           they said something cryptic about targeting at gamescom
 * 06:36 Selene           something about working on a system like vanguard
 * 06:36 Selene           can you get them to cough up more info on that?
 * 06:36 HorRIFTic        dont need specifics at the moment, just wanna know if they are allowed and, if not, how customizable is the UI?  As in moving hotbars and such
 * 06:37 HorRIFTic        Aaah, yes....dual targeting, will it be added?
 * 06:37 Maeloda          I know that when they're silent on the forums, they're working. And listening. They surely know about duel-targeting ;)
 * 06:37 Rioku            when will we get official info on bards? :)
 * 06:37 Selene           i don't see how they couldn't, lol
 * 06:37 Selene           there've been some pretty long discussions on it
 * 06:38 HorRIFTic        yeah, Im trying to make sure I mention the big topics on the forums
 * 06:38 HorRIFTic        Oooh, cross faction communication?  Yes or no?
 * 06:38 Maeloda          I hope bards can dress gaily and have lutes..uhh
 * 06:38 Mira             collision
 * 06:38 HorRIFTic        yeah, collision detection
 * 06:38 HorRIFTic        I started that topic and it exploded
 * 06:39 Mira             made pop mad
 * 06:39 Maeloda          colission detection (though in footage i saw its pass through), and even a /say cross faction comm? i mean, even for RP purposes
 * 06:39 Kilrathi|BYOC    i was walk through stuff
 * 06:40 HorRIFTic        Yeah but collision detection could be turned on at any time, though i dont think it will be
 * 06:40 Mira             how's the world collision, like in landscape?
 * 06:40 Selene           underwater dungeons? lol
 * 06:40 HorRIFTic        but cross faction communication was a very hot topic on the forums recently
 * 06:40 Anasazi          when is the pax interview starting?
 * 06:41 Kilrathi|BYOC    when the dev team is free from the press
 * 06:41 HorRIFTic        Did you meet Scott Kilrathi?
 * 06:41 Kilrathi|BYOC    yes i did
 * 06:41 Anasazi          damn press aways in the way
 * 06:41 Maeloda          press = good
 * 06:41 HorRIFTic        He as cool in person as he seems in interviews?
 * 06:41 Anasazi          go bother paris hilton
 * 06:42 Anasazi          yes press good
 * 06:42 Maeloda          especially for more main site pages, like mmorpg.com had for plane of fire
 * 06:42 Selene           id love to see more press coverage...
 * 06:42 Kilrathi|BYOC    yea he knows where im coming from (IE the older hardcore players) and where the market is at
 * 06:42 Selene           if it weren't for you guys at pax, we wouldn't have that much info
 * 06:42 Maeloda          i hope this is a successful appeasing of both worlds
 * 06:43 Maeloda          looks good so far though really
 * 06:43 Kilrathi|BYOC    alot of the media is focusing on GW2, and TOR from what i have seeen
 * 06:43 Maeloda          GW2 will be fun, but it was always its own thing. hype machine is just doing its job :)
 * 06:43 Kilrathi|BYOC    so been getting alot of qa with devs for a good chunk of time
 * 06:43 Maeloda          TOR has so much QQ. it may be the new WoW just for that...
 * 06:44 Maeloda          whatd u get
 * 06:45 Kilrathi|BYOC    have i have personally talked to scott the least and devs  of the areas that i had question about, (scott cant know every single thing about the devlopment of every single class and sucvh)
 * 06:45 Kilrathi|BYOC    the most
 * 06:45 Kilrathi|BYOC    TTH did a interview with scott while i more then likely got more info then tth got :)
 * 06:46 Anasazi          perfect time for the NOM NOM NOM song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMWi7CLoZ2Q
 * 06:47 Maeloda          NOM NOM INDEED
 * 06:47 Maeloda          looking forward to info over the weekend
 * 06:47 HorRIFTic        How big was the capital city?  did you get to see it?
 * 06:47 Kilrathi|BYOC    i have only gone through about 3 pages of questions
 * 06:47 Kilrathi|BYOC    didnt get to see the big cities
 * 06:48 HorRIFTic        what time you getting there tomorrow Kil?
 * 06:49 Kilrathi|BYOC    8 am doors open at 10am for the exbit hall

 * 06:58 Kilrathi|BYOC    tix into the community party :)
 * 07:01 Anasazi          little program hehe copa pasta 1-10
 * 07:01 Tirith           Woot, friend tossed me a beta potential code from PAX.
 * 07:02 Tirith           There seem to be tons of them, which makes me think it's a pretty small chance to actually get in with them.
 * 07:05 Kilrathi|BYOC    btw how much qq will there be if they give out beta keys to all again at the event
 * 07:15 HorRIFTic        Night Mira.  Think I am hitting the sack too.  I got all of this info up on HorRIFTic Intentions if you want to check it out!
 * 07:15 HorRIFTic        http://horrifticintentions.wordpress.com/2010/09/03/consolidated-information-from-pax/
 * 07:16 Ravenwolf        i wonder what if i cud i'd have asha's babies but since that is genetically impossible (besides the fact its a fictional character) we will have to move to a liberal part of the world and adopt a baby from a foreign country
 * 07:24 Ravenwolf        My Chloromancer is sexier than your Bard
 * 07:26 Ravenwolf        Chloromancer is a healing mage
 * 07:26 Ravenwolf        or a mage, who heals if you will
 * 07:26 Ravenwolf        or a mage who smokes too much chloroine
