It’s not the U.S. version but it’s safe to assume that it will be identical.  /afk drooling.

  • Bah, access denied by my work’s web filter. Sometimes that thing makes no sense. Actually, frequently it makes no sense. I can’t access some blogs on your list because the web filter has them marked as porn. 0.o

    Anyway, the announcement is nice and all, but where can I plunk my money down? Once I have it pre-ordered I can hopefully forget about the game until open beta.

    Speaking of which . . . guaranteed access to OPEN beta? Umm. If it’s limited invitation, is it really open? Or is this open in the ‘no NDA’ sense?

  • Mythic’s open beta’s have always been somewhat different from the “let everyone in” open beta’s that some games have. Open beta for WAR will be invite only, and I assume the NDA would be down at that point.

  • I think someone translated that they are a Ring and a Camp that lets you rest any time with your friends. The accuracy of that information is unknown.

  • Turns out that this was a pretty big leak of information that was intended to be announced next week in a convention in Paris. Mark Jacobs had this to say:

    Folks,

    Kobayashi Maru.

    In other words, no matter what I say on this issue, it’s a no-win scenario. And unlike Kirk, I can’t reprogram the Internet.

    And no, this is not an early April’s Fool joke, I’m not Void, we neither authorized a release/leak, leaked anything ourselves, hinted, encouraged, etc. any leak. Given that we have a show in Europe next week, the last thing we would have wanted is something like this to happen now. You’ll have to wait till next week for the official pre-order/CE release information and then I’ll be happy to discuss *exactly* what is in our CE.

    I will say, as I’ve been saying all along, that when I can talk about the CE/pre-order program, I think you guys will be very happy. I’m glad, after reading through this thread two or three times (and taking a few deep breaths) that you guys seem to be liking what they say is our pre-order/CE program/box.

    As to our Asian partners, nothing I can talk about for those territories yet, not even next week.

    Some days my job really sucks…

  • I am usually a slave to reviews as well as a die-hard “buy something after its released to make sure it sells well” person BUT with this game, I am seriously thinking about making an exception.

    I also never buy CE things as well but then again, with this game, I think I might just have to break the trend. This is to good or a box set and the game looks to be to fricken sweet for me to resist.

    Also: I love our games last night. You and your brother are really good. I felt like I was on top of my game. I managed to sqeeze out some wins with game and watch!

  • More information on the items:

    Knight’s Portable Camp: “receives your tired soul and heals your wounds between battles.”

    Guards of the Amber Ring: “improves your attributes” and casts “Touch of Earth”

  • I might have too, although he’s been really busy and actually has had the questions for a while. He had a chance to answer last week, so that’s when I posted it but the questions were a little older than that.

    @Aaron – Thanks for the pimpage. 😀

  • hey, i just got my english preorder box.
