I have just a few questions of the pre-game questionnaire designed to help us play with friends :

- will the questionnaire be released before the game, my friends want to play together and
We will want to choose the same options but might not log on at the same time.
- if not, is there a way to select friends in the questionnaire or some social bar in-game
to select a player as a friend and you are always put into the same shard.
- or if done by guilds do we need to make a guild before playing or will there be an
Option in-game

At PAX all you had to do was /invite your friends to a group and it would put you in the same shard. The questionnaire only determines who you are randomly sharded with. It does not prevent your friends from playing with you if they answered differently.

And yes, there will be an in game friends list you can add people to.

When the NDA is lifted you can expect to read the questionnaire about 10-20 times on multiple websites include this forum. You'll have plenty of time to decide on the answers for the what sort of player grouping you'll join.
