The e-mail blast that went out today made it seem as though Daybreak wanted to release some more info about the new expansion. I'm referring specifically to the "Coming in November!" section about Empires of Kunark at the bottom right. The "CHECK IT OUT" link directs to the same sarnak illusion post. It was probably an oversight, but I was disappointed.
Mine takes me to the producers letter which talks about the next expansion, at least we know now the expansion is coming in November. Doesn't leave much time for beta
They announced it Sept 1st, you must have missed it when it happened. The email was a good idea since it's a limited time offer, and not everyone logs in or checks the boards daily.
