I wish there was less fan fest only game modes/news and more hints about upcoming update and what they plan to do in the future in terms of changes, game balance, and new content.

I'm waiting for the interview too.

Indeed. With the intermission, I guess the question is to sleep now, or stay up and watch Stargate when its done downloading...

[Jingseng]

the thing with ipods though... the battery is generally non user-serviceable. That is, you can't change the battery yourself. The reason is simple (but this isn't the place for that rant).

In short, if you win this special ipod, Don't ever use it.

5. Will my iPod personalization be preserved?
If your original iPod has a personalized engraving by Apple, you will have the option of having the replacement iPod engraved with the same text, or replaced by a non personalized iPod (benefiting from a faster service). If your original iPod was custom laser engraved by another company, your replacement iPod will not be personalized.

I'm assuming the bolded section qualifies here, but perhaps not.

lmao, that was great.

[Corrderio]

Wonder how long this intermission is...

[Corrderio]

Only a few seconds from my post...

[Massimo]

Short, it seems.

[Lebzile]

still about an hour left, c'mon give us something goood.

[EdgeMoragan]

Everyones back and that event is over so hopefully its BEEFY info time...

[Jingseng]

you know, it's too bad those tarut cards are likely promotional only (aka, ebay).

Because THAT is the kind of merchandise they could sell that players would really like to have

[Tomiko]

19:56 coming up next is the second panel

Hoping this is Q&A.

[Massimo]

News coming up now, hopefully!


Edit: VU = Version Update, I guess. Before people ask.

[Lebzile]

SCH merits, maybe.
