Also apparently the leak is now officially confirmed:

I wonder where the official website announcement is. I would (for maximum impact) not leave too much time between official announcement and actual website announcement.

see here.

Yeah! Check out that Shawn work that charr!

(No, that's not me.)

Nice, the video on that page shows a female charr assassin, don't think we've seen those yet.

The guy playing isn't very good (probably first time he gets to play the game) and you can see he runs out of energy pretty quickly. Also death blossom looks sick :D

[Alaris]

Honestly, seems weak. Also, rolling back + unload seems a boring way to kill stuff. Sorry for thief enthusiasts (although tbh there's probably more exciting ways to play it). I do hope you can get out of harm's way fairly well without potion chugging (e.g. rangers doing the side-roll-attack).

Today one of our trusted media partners jumped the gun and released a gameplay video revealing the thief profession and details of our upcoming PAX East demo build early.

In fairness to all our other partners in the media who honored their commitments and kept the information under wraps, we’re allowing them to release videos and info as well. We think this is fair to all our fans out there who are already really excited about our upcoming presence at PAX East. Next week we’re kicking off a week-long preview that showcases the thief, attributes, and other new features you’ll see in our new demo.

At the end of the week, we’d like to invite those fans who can make it to PAX East to come play the new Guild Wars 2 demo and experience all the new features first hand.

Does that mean you're not sending me to Guantanamo Bay for having blogged on this?

[Art]

Does that mean you are not flying me to NYC or there abouts from Thailand or holding an expo over in Asia??

Just wanna check cause they each cost money and I'm sure I'm worth the money more than that frump Alaris! :p

Hmmmm.... ok, send me to the Expo, and Art in Guantanamo Bay... At least I can blog it when I come back (from either place really, and what bad rep you'd get for sending me to GB).
