Interesting, I remember finding his blog earlier this year and searching for GW2 news on it. I'm definitely interested in the book, I hope it's going to be a good read. Should help relieve some of my desperation for more info about GW/GW2

So this is a nice spoil about what we are going to know during the PAX days.
I'm so interested in books of GW lore too...but I don't think they will translate them in Italian. So i will buy them from America or Uk |

I wonder when ANet will reveal to us their PAX plans. I guess the most likely time is either tomorrow or next Thursday, as those are their news days.

If they put an emote giveaway in the book, like they are doing for the Aion Collector's edition, I know at least a few people that would buy more than 1 copy each.

I want a reading emote and then a shocked face once read.
or they read what will happen to them and decide to try and stop it, thus causing it to happen  my hero decides suicide and no res is more suitable.

Have they announced a release date for the book yet? If not, maybe they'll announce at PAX.

Simon&Schuster once listed it as February 23rd 2010 on their website.
Later they redacted this piece of information. The author turned it in for release some while ago, so basically all it needs is the green light from the person in charge of determining when the right moment is. |

amazon.com has a date of April 27, 2010 for an untitled book by Matt Forbeck. This was the #1 result of a search for Fall of Ascalon.
http://www.amazon.com/Untitled-Matt-...1467495&sr=8-1 This would be the 5th birthday of GW.

Thanks for the info, Inde!
This guy has an impressive list of credentials but I was unable to find where he got his inspiration from for the novel. I was curious if he'd actually played the game? No matter, I'll be getting it whenever it goes on sale. Quote:
Meh, he still chooses to reside in Wisconsin though...
