I am just posting to confirm that this is not a hoax. We had expected to start promoting this later in the month, but a few of our retail partners jumped the gun a bit.

Mox will be made available to anyone -- at no cost -- who has the three core Guild Wars campaigns active on their account. Mox is expected to be available in the September build.

Thanks for clearing that up, hopefully the tinfoil hats will come off.

How would one obtain him... like a /bonus or /hero command kind of thing, or does he just magically drop on our head?

Thankyou for clarifying - that's fantastic!

Now... do we all a bit feel sheepish?

IIRC, "quest" was mentioned.

Anyhow, kudos Anet, this is both very nice and smart way of doing this.

Regina, I apologize for my previous comment.

Thank you for clarifying.
Anet's doing pretty well right now in my eyes

I'd go with "variable". Lots of stuff hints on it. (Golems; Description; The fact that people would QQ because it was or was not one specific profession; They spent some time developing razah code and maybe they finally got it working)

Ah, EFFING SWEET!

I can't wait to see what it is... The Asurans may be big-headed, but they sure know their stuff. :P

A quest to assemble M.O.X. would definitely be fun. In Linsey we trust.

Maybe with optional components to change his profession.

Thanks Regina for quickly resolving the confusion

Any chance this new hero, as its profession went unstated, will be what Razah was supposed to be from the beginning, a hero who can change profession?

why is it people have to cry as soon as an exclusive thing comes out. Its there to tempt / thank new players for getiing the game as an incentive. Why do people have to see it as something they deserve to have just cos they've been playing for X amount of months. No doubt if you all compaint like children like you did with the BMP, ANET will be forced to offer it in another way so all can get it.

edit: oooops should have read all 8 pages before i posted. hurrah for Mox... and less crying from the rest of you

Mox will be obtainable in the same way for everyone, regardless of whether they purchased the new collection or whether they already have the three campaigns unlocked on their account. I can't talk specifics, but it won't be difficult to obtain him.

It will not be a Hero whose Profession you can change at any time. Mox is a Dervish.

Yay! Another thing for all campaign! Although I think an Elementalist would have been better.
I have only 3, so I can't always set one tuned for each element.

Well... actually... 5 Warriors, 4 elementalists and 3 of the rest would be the best choice to have all options set...

I've just spent the last twenty minutes reading this thread, and it made me laugh as too how many people's opinions changed so quickly, from "gg Anet, way to make us hate you" to "holy crap, i love you anet!!!!"

Ah well, i understand. Having M.O.X on my hero team will certainly be an awesome novelty, and thanks a lot for the unwarrented gift Anet, but in all honesty I'm perfectly content with the current amount of Heroes i have. Hell, who am I kidding?! I cant wait to go gallivanting around GW with a big pal like him!


Right, now that we have official conformation from the lovely Regina, it's time for the next tier of speculation. I'm interested in , armour perms and weapons Moar speculation threads on M.O.X, pl0x!

I wonder if the excitement about MOX will dwindle fast now that it is known he will be a Dervish.

1. Mox exists.
2. Mox is a Dervish Hero.
3. Mox will be obtainable in the same way for everyone, regardless of whether they have all three campaigns already or whether they buy the new box. So if you already have the three campaigns on your account, you will get Mox at no cost. I can't speak on how exactly you can get Mox in the game, but from the document I'm reading, it won't be that difficult. Also, Mox will suffer conditions. --Regina Buenaobra 18:33, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Anet is trying to boost sails by getting 1 new hero!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111
not worth it.

You get enough heros as is. You don't need more. So gz Anet if you do make this box set happen. And I hope it makes a ton of cash. But srsly 1 hero for getting it. Make it give you something better.

Orders dervishes are quite popular, and dervway of 2xscythe dervishes + 1xoders sounds like something interesting to try.

I'm curious if it's going to look like a regular Golem or will it have a unique/added design. Hell, will it have access to various hero armors and i can only imagine the increased size of the scythe to match it's proportions (like Jora). All in all, a nice little bonus for september.

Well, this obviously is geared towards new players (they aren't expecting us to "buy the game again"). However, it does seem kinda silly, since I doubt new players will know or even care about getting an exclusive hero.

They should have just given them a minipet or something that could be traded... or a customized game of the year weapon item type thing.
On the other hand, at least a.net is thinking outside the box.

Edit: Wow Regina actually posting quickly on an issue. Well, thanks for clearing that up. How about that "nonexistant lag" that occured during the MAT? mhhmmm?

Well, I mostly use Sabway when I use heroes, so I doubt he'll get much use. All I'm hoping for is that Anet will come up with a fun way to unlock him, like with the mini-moa.

Look at the attributes.
All professions have 4 attrbiutes, but Warriors and Elementalists. But have 3 weapons.

So we need also another elementalist.

I say... Gimve us also a Warrior Male and an Elementalist Female Dopplegangers for those that have Prophecies and Eye of the North, one assassin and one ritualist for those that have Factions and Eye of the North and one paragon for those that have Nightfall and Eye of the North!
