Good things and bad things about the map travel:

Bad- It won’t have the same feeling as exploring I would imagine

Good- At least it saved me the time to go all the way from Divinity’s reach to Hoelbrack just to get a snow leopard as a pet! Yea I know it sounds sad. -_-

[SabreWolf18]

@Mich6961: you would still have to initially get to those points to unlock them.

[omgstoptakingnames]

are they gonna kill the build wars part of guildwars? like i saw in the other episode you can only have one kind of skill in a certain slot?

[SabreWolf18]

@omgstoptakingnames: Question added to the PodCast. Anything speculation wise I will add the answer to the show.

[johnyugi]

hey can any one tell me if you well have to pay an online fee for guild wars 2 or is it going to be free to play like the first one?

[SabreWolf18]

@johnyugi: after the initial purchase of the game, there will be no monthly fees.

[larvinc]

i hope the fifth language will be english or we'll have some serious problems to understand what's goin on :)

[SabreWolf18]

@WildSoul1020: free playable demo of GW2 at PAX! And PAX is ANET's primary show since its in the same state as them. So everything Guild Wars 2 will be at PAX.

[Mich6961]

@SabreWolf18 ... Damn! I've looked at the GW2 map and I'm gona have alot of fun getting to Hoelbrack JUST for a snow leopard.

[gh382]

@omgstoptakingnames yes buildwars haha is dead

[blazpecnik]

THNX dude :D pls ceep up the good work! Cant w8 for gw2 !!

[ravingjunkey]

No death penality, no dedicated healing class (LF Priest), no charges for transport, best graphics ever :))

I can't wait.

[MetalPluckinBassist]

@plus24seven Like gw 1 you buy the game. You play the game, no monthly fees

[fire42uck]

@larvinc I believe he said that New Krytan was to be the language spoken by all races?

[MrDarkcrasher]

when guild wars 2 will come out

[1Ronaldinho10]

do any1 knows if GW2 going to be like the other guild wars games ? i mean, only can meet people in town.

[Bazompora]

@SabreWolf18

Languages?

Didn't Arenanet only announce 5 ALPHABETS for the sole "Human language" (which happens to be just English - or another language that your options are set to)?

[plus24seven]

I wonder if GW2 has Mounts.. for.. long distance traveling????...

[plus24seven]

probably GW2 will be an expensive game next to WoW.

[MrMarcarrelus]

@clifford1122 yes, it's amazing how much he knows about it.

thanks for sharing sabrewolf.

[SabreWolf18]

@clifford1122: yes to both

[clifford1122]

two more questions :P do you know anything about being able to JUMP? and anything about loading screens? ( towns to outside) thank you! haha i wish i new as much as you do :p

[SabreWolf18]

@clifford1122: it will be the same Tyria.. but with a make over. The Dragons have changed a bit of the land scape to their liking... along with the flood from Zhatian. But players will note several landmarks that they have seen in the originaly Guild Wars. So same Tyria... with changes... but you will see some old names and landmarks. Plus we are already told the world will be a lot bigger!

[clifford1122]

Is the Map going to be the same?? just designed different?

or is it a hole new place, but called tyria like is there going to be droks, lions arch or ascalon? is this supposed to be the same time period as the first?

[Zabakiller]

Charmful Charr's FTW!

[jiehrgludor]

@JegErMorsom Yes, but running 100km to reach your destination is not fun, you must admit. In a world of magic, it's actually pretty acceptable to be able to move instantaneously. And they did include the port system in the lore: you travel through the Asura Gates, first discovered by Humans 250 years ago. ;)

[SabreWolf18]

@JegErMorsom: mmmm we'll bring your topic up for the next PodCast
