Sunday April 6th at 8pm GMT Stratics will host a House of Commons chat session with several members of the Anarchy Online Designer Team under the title "The Road to Shadowlands: Professions and Perks."

We've already revealed that there will be two new professions in the Shadowlands expansion for Anarchy Online; the stealthy Shade, and the glorious Keeper. The existing 12 professions will also be developed further, and everybody will be able to specialize through Perks - innate powers for boosting your character. This will be the main topic at the chat, though we're sure to touch in on a couple of other aspects of the Shadowlands expansion too.

The panel from Funcom will consist of game director Gaute Godager, lead designer Johan "Belith" Karlsson, designers Andrew "Blackmane" Griffin and Marius Enge and community manager Thomas "Cz" Johnsen. We all wish you welcome to join in as we delve deeper into who you will be in the ancient lands.

To join the chat, connect to the Stratics IRC server (irc.stratics.com, port 6667) and join the #aohoc channel. This channel will be moderated (i.e. no talking) during the chat. The #anarchy-online channel is available for AO talk at all times, and you're sure to find some of the Funcom guys in there too during the chat.

To reiterate the time and place:

Date: Sunday April 6th
Time: 8pm GMT (remember Daylight Saving Time)
