I will be spending the day at PAX Friday and if anyone has any speciifc questions for the staff I will try and get some answers. I will have to beat the mobs down more then likely to get someones attention but will do my best. I am keeping any loot they give out to myself though so don't ask. 
I wish I could go to the Saturday session with Jeff and Paul but have to keep my wife happy and take her out of town for the holiday.

What are their plans for Magus and Engineer leading up to launch?
What are the specifics on rewards for being on the underpopulated side on a server?
As GOA refuse to keep their site up to date for EU players, is is possible Mythic could put the up to date info for EU players on the official Warhammeronline.com page?
This.

Could you please get us info about the "Open" ruleset servers and how the chicken mechanic will play into returning to the lower tiers.

In-game voice support?
Yeah ask them if they are going to put talisman making in. All though out beta they had not put the trainer in, we had aclhemy even scavageing in which is the main resource gathering skill for talisman making and you couldnt use a good chunk of what you pulled.
K I got a pretty good list I will see what I can get for answers.
They've already said that the current client 'should' be able to be patched through to release.
Here are the answers I got from talking to the booth reps at PAX. Nice group of guys the place was crazy with about 20,000 people trying to get in at the same time so I only got to chat with them for a couple of minutes.
But one of the funny conversations I heard was a some WOW dude trying to figure out the best way he could get his guild moved over so they could dominate a server first. His whole mind set when asking questions all related to how they could evenly power level his guild to end game as fast as possible so they could command tier 4.
Anyway here are the questions people gave me with answers:
What are their plans for Magus and Engineer leading up to launch? No changes they are what they are if that is what you were asking.
Are there any caps on guild members? 300? 500? 1000? Unlimited? No cap has been established yet but if one is it will be fairly high.
What are the specifics on rewards for being on the under populated side on a server?
Faction “soft”buffs and NPC buffs for RVR by percentages depending on the difference range between sides. Some other adjustments are still suppose to be in the works.
In-game voice support? NO "Suggested Vent or Teamspeak "
Yeah ask them if they are going to put talisman making in? YES it was just not part of PW.
Could you ask them if they plan on having the open beta client be the early access/release
client as well (if it is possible to use it)? YES will be able to patch up to retail version.
As GOA refuse to keep their site up to date for EU players, is possible Mythic
could put the up to date info for EU players on the official Warhammeronline.com page?
GOA site live and updated as of 28th. All info is suppose to be current
Could you please get us info about the "Open" ruleset servers and how the chicken mechanic will play into returning to the lower tiers.
Chicken will work the same as it is in core so you hit an RvR area then which is the whole tier you turn chicken from what he said. So going back is really not an option to lower tiers as you will always be flagged and turned into a chicken. The only real difference he said was the mandatory flagging between Core and Open.
My opinion is the assumption being I guess that if a lobbie is stupid enough to wander into a high level zone they deserve to be ganked and will stick to the appropriate tier after getting bashed enough times so really it will be self correcting feature.
I think the Open PVP after listening to some of the reps really is an after thought so I don’t think it is going to get much love at least anytime soon. As for myself I am going to play core anyway as that seems to be the easiest way to be able to go back and do any Tome items and finish old quests.
We will all know how things will be flushed out in the retail version soon enough.
Thanks for taking the time to do this Tuck.
NP had a blast FYI Fallout 3 is crazy fun.
