Tomorrow Nov 7 at 4pm pacific time I get to chat with the developers of Dawn of War Dark Crusade. Its a dream come true for me. I received this email today.
Congratulations! You've been selected to participate in the chat with the Dawn of War: Dark Crusade Development Team.
The chat is November 7th, 2006 7:00 pm Eastern (EST), 4:00 pm Pacific (PST)

You'll also have a chance at winning one of 10 signed copies of Dawn of War: Dark Crusade that will be raffled live at the end of the chat.
To Participate:
You must invite to your Xfire friends list—Do it now!
Also, we find it best to use the default “Xfire” skin for the chat. It is also recommended that you turn off chat logging: Tools -> Options -> Chat to avoid any slowdown.
TIMELINE: 11/07/06 (All times in EST)
6:00 pm: You must have invited to your friend list before this time
6:40 pm: You should be logged in and awaiting group chat invites
7:00 pm: Dev team will come online
8:00 pm: Chat will end, games will be raffled (you must be online to win)
CHAT ROOMS:
The chat rooms are persistent rooms; if your computer freezes or you lose your internet connection, you can access the rooms again under your Xfire Servers Tab.
The chat will be moderated by the Xfire team. In order to simplify the question/answer process, 3 separate chat rooms will exist.
You will get an invite to the following rooms:
1. Central Command
This is where the developer team will speak. You can see this room, but not talk in it. Xfire and the dev team will copy and paste Q&A here.
2. Official Question Room
This is where you can submit questions for the development team to answer. We will monitor this room and cut and paste the best questions for the dev team to answer.
3. Unofficial Chatter
All participants will be present in this room. This is your place to chat with other participants about whatever you like - discuss which questions to ask, talk about their responses, make new friends, and enjoy the community of fellow gamers.
Dev Chat Guidelines:
Be polite. Don't spam the rooms. When people spam the question channel, it is too hard to pick out the good questions
Have pride. Don't beg for your question to be asked
If you see a question you like, chime in: "I like xfyre's question"
Don’t abuse the system or other users or you will be kicked out of the chat
Do not send friend invites to the dev team or Xfire team members
People that ask the best questions have a better chance at winning the prizes!
We have a remarkable opportunity here from the Relic team; let's show them how much we appreciate it.
Again, congratulations! We look forward to seeing you Tuesday.
Regards,
The Xfire Team
