 * Likely second half of 2008 for beta test of Guild Wars 2
 * More RPG and PvP in Guild Wars 2
 * Future contests may offer a small number of the so-called Asian minipets, i.e. Panda, Kanaxai and Naga
 * Balance update in January
 * Hero rank 15 emote is top secret, not even Gaile herself knows of what the design is. The only way it will be introduced is once a player reaches this tier.
 * The closest player to the Hero rank 15 is still pretty far from achieving it
