GR: Regarding the new multi-level dungeons, can you tell us how they?ll differ from what we?ve seen in previous Guild Wars campaigns?

Miller: As far as the multi-level dungeons go, probably what a player could think of them as are super cool, redone, epic versions of Sorrow?s Furnace. Sorrow?s Furnace is only one level, but it?s a super huge map. It has distinct areas, it has NPCs with quests that kind of explain the areas and at the time we released it, it had some of the most unique rewards that we had in the game, which at that time, when we did Sorrow?s Furnace, we released the unique green items that dropped off of bosses. And we carried that over to Factions and Nightfallˇ­ and so it?s basically gonna be an expanded, epic version of Sorrow?s Furnace and it?s going to have some of the most unique loot and experiences that Eye of the North has to offer.

GR: We?ve heard that players will be able to acquire Norn and Asura Heroes in Eye of the North. Can you confirm this?

Miller: Yup! They are by far not the only heroes you?ll be able to obtain. But they are definitely two of the more entertaining ones.

GR: But little has been said about the third new race, the Sylvari. Are you going to be able to acquire them as one of the heroes as well?

Miller: No. You won?t be able to get a Sylvari hero. But, in general, you can look at Guild Wars Eye of the North as a prologue - lore wise - to Guild Wars 2. So there?s going to be plenty of stuff that will be hinted at and left wide openˇ­

GR: Can you tell us a little bit more about the background of the Sylvari then?

Miller: I think the last time I did, it was with three ellipsisˇ­
