I love these things. If you ever want to get my an Easter present, get me one of these. Even if it's after Easter, like today. I'll still accept it and be grateful.
Several asked:
I can't get the "Show 50 More" button at the end of the comments to work, what can I do?
For me, it works in Firefox and not Chrome. So try Firefox. Sorry, I don't have a better answer at the moment, but it's something we've passed along to get fixed.
Kisune asked:
When can we expect to see account wide achievements? I herd that was being implemented but its not (so far as i can tell) on the beta at the moment. Is it still coming? Also when can we expect to see pandaren mounts available in the beta?
Account-wide achievements haven't made it onto the beta just yet, but Blizzard has said multiple times that they're coming, so I'd expect within the next month or so. The full effect of them won't be realized until they hit the live servers, however, when all the myriad of alts get to contribute to it.
As far as pandaren mounts go, any time, really.
Matticus asked:
Will the ramparts of Stormwind finally be repaired (removal Deathwings claw imprints from towers)?
So far, they're not. It's interesting to note that in the version of the game you played at Blizzard during the press tour you couldn't actually get into Stormwind. You'd port to the mage tower and just sit there. On the beta, Stormwind isn't changed. But could it be changed on the builds at Blizzard HQ? I don't know, but the fact that the city was inaccessible raises an eyebrow, as it might be something Blizzard wants to do a big reveal of.
DrOb asked:
How do you think Guild Wars 2 will affect World of Warcraft?
I think it's going to be just like any other game that's come out during WoW's lifetime. Some people will go off to play it, but it won't have a huge impact on WoW's population. Every single game that's been labeled a WoW killer has yet to live up to its name, including Star Wars: The Old Republic.
I think most people are catching on to the fact that there isn't going to be this gigantic splash down of a triple-A title that'll kill WoW. Some may draw a few hundred thousand at the end of the day, and that's cool. But most will have no lasting impact.
Now ... let's look at it from a non-population perspective.
Guild Wars 2, along with Star Wars, forces Blizzard to compete for our attention and money. It's something it does very well, and we've seen some features such as group looting come into the game because of it. If Guild Wars 2 has enough shiny features that catch the eye of Blizzard, we'll probably see them integrated into WoW or in an even better version.
Serrath asked:
Since my entire guild is switching to Panda Monks next xpac I'd like to know what to call them. A clouter? A peck? A ponder?
A sloth. I'm serious, too.
