Gaile Gray Talk Monday December 17, 2007

Summary

• Likely new unknown secrets in the Zaishen Chest
• They are definitely thinking about another way to acquire the Bonus Mission Pack, she hopes to tell us more after the holidays
• SMS and IVR are actively being worked on, and will be rolled out more thoroughly in the future. SMS and IVR will offer additional means for some players to purchase via the in-game store
• There are many ideas that can't be implemented in Guild Wars, but they keep them in mind for Guild Wars 2
• 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
