Some of you may know over at GWOnline a public invitation was given out to come "Hail the Frog" at Lion's Arch District 8, thus my new guild Cult Of The Frog was created. Anyway, the Wise Frog crashed the party so I took a screen cap of what it had to say.
Be prepared for a long read becuase it's everything it had to say. The Frog was there roughtly from 8-9PM EST.

The frog showed up later in the international dist 1. I have a few screens, but not the full conversation. One thing that seemed very nice that he mentioned was weddings and 1 on 1 matches.

The frog objects not to honourable farmers.

I took that statement meaning bots. However, the Frog does say he likes being cryptic.

The frog needs a good fire on his butt to make him really start talking. I'll bring some pyro spells next time

Seems promising enough to me

and it's nice that it seems to be a live person, not just canned speech automatically spewed out at a given time by an NPC.

also, someone asked how to get their girlfriend back and the frog said flowers and a lot of apologizing lol.
yah. it's probably a pr person for the company. Whoever came up with this idea is a genius. Not only do you get interactivity with the playerbase and the company, but also an icon in the game. Everyone know of The Frog and people like the op have created guilds dedicated to him/her.

But I [guess] they don't have to be mutually exclusive.

For some reason I don't think it's Gaile. She strikes me as someone who's basically just a couple steps ahead of us in terms of knowing what the devteam is up to, whereas the Frog seems to know a bit more(or at least, leads us on like they do) about what's coming up down the road. My guess is that the Frog isn't Gaile, but probably someone she knows or has access to that's a bit further up the food chain towards the devteam itself. Possibly even a dev, who knows. Of course, I could be totally wrong too and Gaile really IS the Frog. There's just no telling....
What really interests me though is the hints that the Sorrow's Furnace update will do a lot more than just add new areas for PvE- possibly a rebalancing of skills and other things. Also mention of expanded functionality for Guild Halls, new weapons and weapon upgrades(wand upgrades? HUZZAH!), and a hint of new classes down the road, although that sounds like something for the 2nd Chapter. All in all, very interesting stuff.

Of course the Frog is Gaile.
As for Gwen... well... she follows me, I don't follow her.

I have slight fear about the mentions that combat could be changed greatly. That could just mean no more overpowered NR, maybe no more putrid spam, it could mean major retoolings. All the whiny OMG YU RUINED MAI BILD posts could come D:

The frog also has incorrect grammar, quote:
Those who have become staid and complaisant in their combat will not remain easy victors.
"Complaisant"? wtf. Complacent, she/he means.
Complaisant means "eager to please". Remember, kids, you're not pleasing anyone with combat. =D
For this reason, i believe the frog is a dev, a community relations manager should have really, really good english.

It smells of the kind of humour a dev would enjoy

It's obvious Gwen would win over the frog.....
People will complain about anything.
I bet some people would complain about an update that included the following:
Toggle Capes
UAS
Guild Storage
Auction House
Ability to change Hair Style
More dye colours
Even i don't like everything in that list heh, but all of it has been asked for.... you can't please everyone.

LoL, what make you think it's Gaile?
Frog is just awesome new incarnation of BWE ingame dev interviews.
Gaile never used ingame chat as mean of official communication.
Frog FTW!

The frog may be international, but whoever is behind it is from the UK (Note the spelling of "Favour" instead of Favor)
At least it doesn't appear and go "a-brum-bruum-bruum-myaaaaaar-badda-badda-bruum-nor-nenenenyooaar-weeeeeeeee"

In this instance, it most likely refers to FotM's. Static strategies people are content to use again and again.
I'd guess it's the changes to skills that are slated prior to the first tournament bracket/season/ladder/whatever it is.
But, there're always multiple interpretations when you keep your statements cryptic.

I was taught to spell them that way, and I'm not from the UK either. Only stepped out of the US twice, during vacations.
Shamblemonkee
So it's either an educated American or an English person? Which is most likely?

Can anyone say whether these frog prophecies are things of the near future (patches, new builds) or later future (expansions).
I for one look forward to capes that can be removed. Only reason why I won't join a guild with a cape at the moment.
