Some of the more salient news:
* Aug 23: Naggy's lair and Mistmoore getting the hardcore heritage update
* Next expansion: Call of the Forsaken. Based in Norrath based on classic and traditional characters. Story starts in West karana that lead to the arrival of a powerful dragon from another dimension named Lady Lindinaria. It has torn through seams of time. She is being viewed as a prophecy of doom. Man this sounds like Cataclysm.
* New expansion has zones that always existed. Remember old maps with zones that didn't exist? This is where they come from, like The Dead Hills and Neriak's Fourth Gate
* New system, Heroic Adventures. Scenarios similar to LDON but with a true system that manages your experience as you go into a zone. The zone is constructed based on the group you have, like objectives, loot and power of mobs.
* Beta on August 14. Late Sept launch. No mention of level caps going up, thank FUCKING GOD!
* Release next year that ties into CotF, you get it for free with the expansion like the Fear expansion
* 15th anniversary. new race/class combos, we get to vote. Dark Elf bard or Wood Elf shaman, anyone?
* More player designed missions.
* The Plane of War zone from PoP is coming. For those who forgot, remember the five stones in PoTranq? The one on the far left went nowhere. They are making it live.
* He mentioned there will be a way to increase the power of mercs.
