First Ward Preview Up at Massively

Am I missing some sort of more detailed article? Because all I'm seeing is a two-paragraph blurb that pretty much rehashes the same stuff with a link to the main webpage (which then apparently automatically redirects to the Freedom preview).
The front page is supposed to have something on it. I won't pretend to understand how PS marketing works.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

All I see is the same preview of Issue 21 that has been there since it was first announced?

"It is a abandoned, forgotten place, and a home for those who are now forgotten and abandoned."
Wait, isn't that Dark Astoria?
Nitpick: 'an' abandoned, forgotten place not 'a' abandoned, forgotten place. Somebody been reading MMO forums too long!
On a more (or less) serious note, the whole magic being the most powerful force thing there seems rather abrupt. No mention of magic until the next to last paragraph. Why is the place so magical? And why did no one notice all this powerful magic when the place was being built?
Explain it, GG! 
Golden Girl beat me to it.

Thanks to @EnsonsDeath for the GVE code that made me VIP again!

There's a LOT of death and destruction involved in building a city. Not necessarily a lot of human death... but still death! And destruction!

That's an unfair assessment considering we don't have all the details of the Hamidon attack. Especially seeing how Cole was advised to Nuke the place.
Or it is possible FW was built over the Praet version on Orebenga? (I know- spelling...)
My question is- do you mean to tell me that no one in Cole's forces noticed what was growing underground when they built the city???? To me that would be the first place to shore up!

Real question is how was it fixed for Praetoria?

Finally the official overview is up.

Tyrant can solo the Hamidon - couldn't he have fought it while his Praetoian Guard helped get the people to safety? |

I think in Tyrant's duel against Hamidon they must have reached that much of an agreement.

Don't your allies mention several times that Cole wasn't alone when he fought Hamidon?
In fact don't they acknowledge that Hamidon would have won if Cole hadn't entered the fray?
So while he didn't do it alone, his involvement was a turning point.
Is this not the case?
Quote:
I actually think the secret of the Cole/Hami stare-down is supposed to be some big 'woah' moment for the praetorian storyline. If that's true or not, who knows, but that's the intent, at least for the praetorian population.

The devs have said that there's a huge secret that we'll discover on the Underground Trial in I21 that will "shatter the world of Praetoria permanently" - on the Trial, we fight loyalists as well as the DE before we confront the Avatar of the Hamidon and learn the secret |
