Id on't know If someone has posted this in the BGN section or not, but I thought Id jsut share with you that theres has been some very good conspiraty theorists working on some of the stuff that happened before PVPX ended.
*cough* The words War, Census, Of and Orr appeared every so often with a number that was decreasing.
War Census of Orr is an anagram of Sorrows Furnace
The number decreases by 12 each time, and it decreases every 12 minutes.
Its been guessed that this was a countdown to the Summer Update, and with the rate of coountdown the new area should be released on the 7th September
Now say it with me folks : "Ooooooooooh"

Where, pray tell, did these words appear? Also, while for many students here in the USA, school has started and therefor summer is over, for the working population, Labor Day is sort of the psychological end of summer, and that's this comming weekend... so I give Anet till Friday for Sorrow's Furnace... After that it's an Autumn Update...

Someone call Dan Brown so we can get this figured out once and for all... ...but wait Sept 7th? that's our "how not to kill the infant within the first 24 hours" class....dang! Glad to see you've moved from "alien parasite" to "infant!"

OnT: so did anyone else see this code? is it still available to be seen? OffT Glad to see you've moved from "alien parasite" to "infant!" Only because the class is being taught at a catholic hospital ...once they meet X and I it will become "how not to kill your anti-christ child within the first 24 hours"

I mean, he looked like a lima bean at that stage, seriously.... Ultimately we decided not to name him in such a fashion, and we also decided not to name him after the inspiration for his conception. I mean, honestly, who wants their first two names to be Jose-Cuervo Margarito? Sounds like you're in for some fun, Indagatrix. Congratulations!!

Thanks for the Link Asya... War Scepter of Orr makes more sense now.... Although I would still hope that they open the Furnace before the holiday weekend... but if they did, they might not get to enjoy the holiday themselves... tough call I guess...

The summer is almost over...even if it technically does happen in the summer, it should be called their Fall/Autumn update because damnit, we won't have the Summer to enjoy it. Unless of course I move to New Zealand/Australia...then It'll be getting warmer...hmmm think I'll do that OT...once they meet X and I it will become "how not to kill your anti-christ child within the first 24 hours" WOOOO!!!! Haha that's awesome we also decided not to name him after the inspiration for his conception. I mean, honestly, who wants their first two names to be Jose-Cuervo Margarito? OMG that sounds like something that can happen to one of my friends....I love Jose!!!!

I know that officially summer goes to the 21st of September or so but I don't consider it summer if it is after labor day. And if me and Morbs agree on something it is either right or a sign of the Apocalypse.

How about they release more stuff for those that haven't already played 9/10 of the game already. That's one problem with the game. It's so boring throughout most of the game. Add more items and areas to the beginning-mid area, not the end of the game. Seriously, like 10% of the players actually get something out of this. Good job.

I think you underestimate the players Christan. I would wager that 70-80% of GW players that have been playing for more than a month have Ascended level 20s with nothing to do... Thus the need for end game content and goodies... Also, Anet has always had put-forth the idea that the game dosen't really start until level 20. That's why the level cap is so low. If you want extensive low-mid game content, you need to play a more traditional MMORGP...

If the game doesn't begin until your LV20, than they should the time before it shorter. Still, it's pretty darn cheap for a player to get through 90% of the game and not have actually played the real game. The level limit was made so people don't grind at the game just to level, but if you have to grind through the game just to get to the real part, it's just as lame. I'm sorry, I don't buy games that make me go through this huge thing before the real game even starts.

I for one am looking forward to the update, and it better not suck. I don't think it'll be that crappy though, since Anet knows if it is, they're gonna hear about it from everyone. As for the frog, this intrigued me: "The Frog was thinking a Frisbee would be most fun, for pets, but knows not how that could be a weapon." If they ever added a chakram to be used as a weapon I'd be the happiest person in the world. "The Frog sees much about two-handed weaponry." Ooooooh, aaaaaah

I'm excited at the prospect of the availability of additional weapons. Very excited in fact. Boy am I excited. I need to go. Kbye.
Edit: I like melee weapons.

And lots of good details in this IGN Preview. Some might consider this information spoilerish, so fair warning.

In hindsight, I believe the countdown from War Census of Orr indicated that the Furnace should open about 8:00 PM EST tonight... (right as class is starting for me and Inda.)

Technically couldn't she take notes for you? It's not that hard for you. "Breathe dear". Thats about the extent of you involvement. The nurses and doctors will do most of it.
