Sweet, thanks.

And yah, like Alot said, most loot has slots that you can stick upgrades into. The high level stuff (58 in the demo) had 3 slots for the major armor pieces.

On my way home from the con now. I'm afraid I didn't manage to do much today (going in costume got me stopped a lot for photos @_@) except play in the PvP tournament and attend the lore and writing panel. So I wasn't able to do any crafting (>_<) or ask about server structure.

The lore panel was really good (Ree!) and I know a few of you had questions regarding returning characters. The cryptic answers we got were along the lines of 'some of them are, but you'll have to wait and see'

There will be lots of worlds, but their number must be a multiple of 3.

There aren't only three worlds. They haven't settled on final server capacities, but they've said it will be on par with other major MMOs. World vs. World vs. World PvP pits three servers against each other, but not because there are only three worlds total, it's just the number matched against each other. I had assumed that the matchups would be static, the way other games split servers into "battlegroups", but I've heard talk that the matchups may change with each cycle, which would be cool if they can do so technically. I don't think they have announced anything about where the servers will be located, or if players will be seperated by region. Want to know more about GW2 and why there is so much buzz?

I don't think they have announced anything about where the servers will be located, or if players will be seperated by region. After each two week matchup, the servers will be then matched up against new servers based on W/L record and active playerbase. This keeps the matchups fresh and balanced. This is why they need to keep the total number of servers as a multiple of three. I'm speculating, but I would imagine they would have to keep the servers separate multiples of three for North America, Europe and Asia due to potential latency issues. Though because the servers cannot speak to one another during the match, I don't know of any gameplay reason why it couldn't matchup servers from different regions against one another. That would be pretty interesting to see how they compare.

Originally posted by star Absolutely no guild halls ( :( ). Just wanted to share this just in case people here have not seen this clarification: Quote: Originally Posted by Martin Kerstein It is helpful to take Eric's full statement into account. He mentioned that there will be no Guild Halls on release as we want to make Guild Halls a great experience and not just a "place". We will introduce player housing at some point after launch, and at that time we will also implement guild halls. Originally posted by star (going in costume got me stopped a lot for photos @_@) Oh please share photos after all out of many we are one :) , just kidding (I am just joking)!

This one has the potential to make people angry. It's needs further confirmation, as the dev I was talking to wasn't 100% sure (and said 'for now'), but there are portals between regions. Each region is comprised of many zones, and there are only 4 regions in the game.

Zones are freaking huge (it took me almost half my demo timer to cross Firefly Fen, and I couldn't cross Shaemoor, lol). I think regions will be similar to WoW continents a la Kalimdor or Eastern Kingdoms.
