Going to see GW2 in Germany - Questions Please

[:1]Guys, IncGamers received an invite to see GW2 in Germany in a weeks time which is super cool. We'll be meeting with the dev team and also going hands-on as well.
What I want to do is get interview questions once again from the community as you guys diod such a good job on the last lot :) You can add them to this thread.|||My question is, can I come with you? Pleaaaase *puppy eyes*|||The frog, will he make an appearance?
Will Mad King Thorn still be around and if so will his lore be explored?
Account security - any additional measures like authenticators, apps etc. in the works?
That's about it from me this time...please get them to answer one of the first two questions Rushster!!
-Art|||Will the player's class have any impact on the personal storyline, or is it the social/racial biography questions that directly affect the story?
Will the player's choice of faction (Order of Whispers and the like) affect dungeons, raids, or other group content, or will group content remain essentially the same for all players regardless of storyline?
Will players be able to visit the capitals of races other than their character's own?|||I'd love it if they could give some sort of timeframe for guild info, even if it's only to say "this year" or "first quarter of 2012".
Do they have a better idea on when an open beta will be?
If they introduce the final profession for Gamescon, do they feel they're near the final iteration on professions?
Any chance on them introducing lore that confirms the blinking light on mines really is a minature Vekk shooting fireballs at the crystal's roof to try to escape?|||Quote:

Ruhster,
Can you provide a bit more context/find out more info for the interview?
What kinds of topics should the questions cover?
Will it be a hands-on with new material?
I'll put together a list of questons and post them later.|||As my question wasn't picked last time I'm going to post it again, as I still believe it to be a pretty good question:
"What importance are you giving to consumables? Are they going to have very powerful effects like the consets in GW1, that are required for certain elite
areas, specially with PUGs? Or maybe they will have minor effects on gameplay but their value will be determined by titles linked to consuming them?"|||Has Anet considered and/or is Anet considering other games within the Guild Wars universe such as browser games, smartphone/tablet games, board games, a TCG, a PnP RPG or even full priced video games of a genre other than online roleplaying?|||Ask if they'll take closed beta testers from the forums. I'd be okay with that.|||Rushster, will you ask them how guilds are going to operate? More specifically, can we transfer our current GW1 guild, (members and all) straight into GW2?
