Thanks. Silly me looked under "key bindings", which is just a static keyboard map of the bindings.

Yup, npnp. Took me a while to realize that as well.

Crap, so many triple A MMOs launching close to each other.
Not good for my wallet.

Yup, the fabled 'Year of the MMO' might be happening...

Finally.

Hmmm, not really that much time between official annoucement and launch date, could mean one of two things.

 

One, after the bad launch of AOC they withheld the date until they were absolutlely sure it was rock solid and ready for release or...

 

They see the launch of GW2 on the horizon and are rushing it out the door prematurely to avoid getting lost in it's wake. (And don't forget about D3)

 

I'd like to believe it's the first but rather suspect it's the latter, after all, this is Funcom we're talking about.

Haven't they had a Spring 2012 date set in stone for a while now? As much as the cynic in me agrees with the latter sentiment, it might not be entirely the case.

Still up in the air on the title myself though. Haven't seen much to be genuinely impressed with (and I'm pretty easy to impress), and the lack of beta information/news is a little disheartening, especially since they're apparently releasing in two months. Has anyone even played it at a Con?

Might even sneak in some themes from WoW(don't tell anyone!)

Or maybe even some SWTOR.... Alderaan's theme is one of the best video game peices to come out in a good while.

Jeremy Soule for me

Indeed. With Jeremy Soule composing the OST, I highly doubt I'll need to add/change the music. I might add some ES exploration music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo3e9a7QKqM SO INCREDIBLE), but nothing that strays to far away from the setting.

I'm don't get why this is an issue.

Partly because of this,

They had addressed the concerns about skimpy armor in a blog post about a year ago.

 

"I would like to say a quick word about where we stand when it comes to the “sexiness” of our armors and costumes. This is a controversial subject that I encounter frequently on forums and message boards—not just about Guild Wars, but about a lot of games. I understand that many players feel that armor should be practical, realistic, and shouldn’t leave skin exposed to attack. When coming up with ideas for armor, the character and concept department try to balance the practical with the fantasy. We make armor that looks protective and functional, but we also make armor that looks sexy and shows a generous level of strategically placed skin. We recognize the “fantasy” aspect of our game; if you are able to rain down balls of fire from the sky, your clothing should not be a factor when it comes to body temperature, whether you are wearing your underwear or a fur coat. We’ve always intended to create outfits for male and female characters that are appealing and attractive without making our players feel uncomfortable about what their character or other player-characters are wearing. I think that Guild Wars has been very successful in this regard, and we will continue to make outfits that adhere to this philosophy."
