I just really hope the Maw is as crazy smoke and swirly death fog as the concept art makes it seem.

I always got the feeling it would be kinda like Antoran wastes except grey instead of green. But generally with the same philosophy of nowhere being safe and constant danger of being instakilled.

I imagine it will be that dialed up to 11. Probably only 1-2 flight points at the very edge of the zone, cliffs and narrow walkways that drop to your death (maybe even shifting paths since it's so smoky?) Lots of very strong mobs, periodic hazards like the Argus ship barrages, etc.

But I meant visually.

I think visually again it will be Antoran Wastes. Less strucxtures probably, but i could see the geography beign the same of jagged cliffs, steep drops and caves. That being said, it could also be changin daily for all we know. Though i do think the general colour scheme will be a dull grey.

Have you even been paying attention to this thread?

I feel like the hype really had gone down for alpha x)
Sad times

And then it explodes once we actually get something. x)
Fun times

55 minutes until Ion and gang boot up their work laptops from home and the work day officially starts.

Let's see if we get anything today.

It is getting an excessive amount of time between blizz con and anything new to talk about.

It's not just about releasing alpha. But more either having some form of news dump or data mineable alpha. Something to talk about that's new.

There's no need to open alpha for testing. Just make it mineable so we can all gaek over the new assets and speculate some more for a few months.

The essential radio silence on SL is killing the hype really.

Fully agree, we're information starved.

We better fire up the engines then, only one and a half pages to go.

Let me help out with that. I present.... this!

So are we thinking we can be at 2k before we get more info on Alpha? I do think all the 'rumblings' from other stuff is messing with my expectations a bit.

"The Year 2000 problem" is coming !

I was just thinking the same, when I looked at the number.

[Edward Wu]

We should hit 2000 pages just as 9:00 AM rolls around for Blizz employees.

The prophecy will be complete.

[Zelk]

page 1000 reached

[puddypounce]

I don't think MMO Champ can handle a 2,000 page thread.

Can we get some fucking hype in this thread it's like the afterlife in here.

Hype I can provide, hope however... hope abandoned us long ago

[Throren]

Dawn of the final page

[Bindanda]

i thought to get the alpha you guys needed to hit 2k pages by today Monday or it would get postponed, no? Seeing as how you didn't hit the 2k page mark it looks to be postponed.

Edit: with no mention of a blog post or video today i believe we can cross it dropping today of the list of possibilities

[Valysar]

It's time.
