I wonder how the zones will be contested. If you assume that pvp matches will determine the outcome, then are the smaller PvP matches 2 faction or 3 (given that the graphic depicted only 2 factions facing off).
On unrelated news, PvP will have full collision, and mobs will have collision always, but in PvE, players will not (cutting out griefing possibilities).

@Fabius Bile Do we have any confirmation yet that GW2 is actually being released next year? :P
I'm looking forward to both of these, but they're both "perpetual development" games. I'm horribly pleased this one was finally dated.

They should really do something about the animation. It looks quite rigid.

@Dol I agree but animations are usually some of the last things to be polished up before launch. The game is still far enough out that unfinished animations shouldn't really be a worry yet.
I still wonder why game companies don't simply touch things up for the promotional material though. Like, "here's what we'd like to include in a trailer, let's make it look its best."

don't worry about animations - just look at AoC, perfect there.

Anyone else think that the narrator sounds like Keanu?
