    I hope it goes well for you. I'm having an operation too, Aug 27th. I pre-purchased so I'll get to play for a couple of days at least. Downside is my recovery in the hospital will be about a week long. Upside is I'm not working for about four weeks after.

You'll also be able to play in the July...

    I didn't get into the PvP aspect of the game during the BWE; instead I spent my time exploring the lands playing all three available races, trying out 4 of the 8 classes (Ranger,Thief,Mesmer and Elementalist). Soloing is like no other soling in any other MMO I've played. I totally agree...

    The Big Picture: Shell Shock

    Bethesda Introduces Skyrim's New Faces

    I did a google search "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim faces" and found that Gamespy has the faces labeled by race. OT: These faces are certainly more grittier than Oblivion's were.

    Earthquake in VA

    I live in Massachusetts and it was a bit of a surprise. But my three brothers up in Alaska are probably laughing at us down here on the East Coast. But what I'm really concerned about is hurricane Irene.
