What I'm hoping they do is create an additional powerset that involves teleportation, kind of like nightcrawlers where you can use it in combat to do various special moves etc.

While the travel teleportation sounds cool. I still want my combat teleport powers :)

Edit: What I mean by teleport related special moves, it knows your target and teleports to execute a kill move or something. I guess it all depends on the combat system. I haven't played yet so I can't say. I heard about this game from a friend of mine playing the Beta.

GO play the game, you can combat teleport

Err no you can't. There is a timer, when you enter combat it's 20 or 30 seconds, EVEN when not you yourself are fighting but anyone in your group all the way on the other side of the map.

That makes combat teleport like Nightcrawler pretty impossible.

MMORPG are social games. If you include support for social web services (like facebook, tweet) it will only make the community stronger, it will help people to feel more connected with the game and it will help the game grow.

Its a new trend on MMORPG. Check EvE expansion plans. Many F2P games are doing it too. Some yet to be released P2P games already talked about it.

Its the small things that makes a game great in the long run. Hell, the API for tweet was made by a DEV on his own time cause he loves it :XD.

Are you kidding me? Dude, I can't play the game if it's not out yet. I hadn't heard about it until it was too late to sign up for Beta. I've been too busy with other things. So I unfortunately can't go and just PLAY the game. I wish I could. In either case, I am finding out about the game from those who had the opportunity. Stop bitching and moaning that I don't know about it if I didn't spend hours pouring over the website yet reading about every power available. I had just mentioned what I wanted and people were telling me that it was there. Geeze.

It's not just a trend in MMOs it also includes any business. Social Media has become a medium for direct real-time feedback and non-intrusive advertisement of your products by building a community of people that follow your business/product.

You know, that's too bad. Even being able to teleport to your group immediately would be nice if they're in combat. Personally I think a timeout is a terrible attempt to "balance" teleport powers. I will have to try it myself.

Even out of combat teleporting is..a chore.. (only lasts a few seconds)

Last day of headstart I noticed that Sorcery was divided into 3 schools. One of which

summons an "angelic" pet. I wonder if sorcery and light will mesh...

There is a chance of that.
