This article explains the new regions in GW: Factions.

Oops I mean Gamespot. Heh

The bit about the Jade Sea is most interesting.

I guess that depends on whether or not you like chinese food...

The bit about Shiro's wail was particularly interesting... as well as the bit about the Jade Sea being actually frozen.. and made of Jade ( Oh. makes sense. )

The screenshots look like a step up graphically.. hope my laptop is up to par.

Undercity = Necromancer hang out.

I like the whole mining jade out of the jade sea thing, with the sea monsters and ships frozen in time. The graphics are so amazing the city, the bamboo thickets, wow.. Just wow.

Edit: Holy crap.. The forest... The giant tree houses..

Unsavory activities . . . hmm. Wonder how many female eles will be hanging around for no apparent reason . . .

The sea still looks a lot like water. Wait a minute, did they say giant tortoises and SNAILS as beasts of burden? I thought the preview said they used magical walking machines . . . but using giant snails for draft animals is just weird.

Did anyone open up the screenshot thing on gamespot and look through them?

Because there is one that I've never seen before that is stunning...its like our pre-searing remade.

That, and it will probably be a major place for Assassins.

Everything is looking great, I am looking forward to the release.
