    Well, we know the expansion name, and some of it's features, so I guess it's speculation time

    Features we know:

    Beastlord class
    Create your own dungeon
    Crafter Apprentices
    Reforging
    Mercenaries
    AA Cap Increase

    The expansion will release in November...woo!

    I'm actually enjoying this Expac, aside from the itemization being...odd, to be nice

    But I'm gonna assume that they have been working on this for quite some time, and this has the possibility of being a "redemption" expansion, for those that aren't content...with the content that we got with the last expac

    The features alone have me getting excited, as on paper, they sound exciting, I'll have to try them first to actually get an opinion passed the on paper opinion though

    So wait... AA increase, when we JUST had one, and no level increase? Unless they plan on releasing another one in Feb or something, this saddens me HUGELY.

    I don't think that with itemization the way it is right now...we'd really WANT a level increase...

    Unless levels really matter that much? Sure, it's skill upgrades, but AAs can do that as well...

    maybe the fact they don't have to do 10 levels of new abilities cor 24 erm 25 classes is the reason they can get it out so fast after velios. little annoyed though ihave to be honest because it feels like now they have given up on making velious a great xpac by FIXING ITEMIZATION !!!!!!

    Maybe they'll fix it with this expac, or fix it with the upcoming update, I dunno...but the Itemization is bad, which is a fact, and ruined the expac for some...

    And yeah, having to make more abilities for 25 classes is insane...the fact that we are getting a new class pretty much says that there'd be no cap increase...could you imagine the hell they'd have to go through to make 100 levels of spells for 1 class? :p

    No, it's not. They announced a while ago that there will be no DoV part 2. Instead, they will be releasing all future DoV content for free to all DoV owners through several GUs.
    Personally, I have no problems with Mercs. I think they can be good. I'm not a beastlord fan though, and I worry that they may be adding something game breaking here.
    I have no idea what to make of this design a dungeon thing. Hopefully there will be a lot more info on this soon. Itemization, Bosses, who can access player made dungeons, It's hard to see how something like this can work in an MMO.

    Yeah, I don't have problems with Mercs, and if they lighten BLs up a bit from EQ1, they wouldn't be as game breaking.

    The dungeon creation is what has my focus right now, it can be a good feature, or it can be bad, depending on how it's handled

    With beastlord and mercs coming it sounds fun to possibly return for that.
    But the reforging just gives me the feeling that the devs are too lazy to fix their own broken itemization and just want to give us players the job instead.

    They stated at FF they're redoing itemization for EVERY item in the game from 20-90. Also, this expansion is supposed to wrap up Age's End, so I imagine we'll see the rest of Velious. Don't despair, if it's Velious then a large amount of the art assets are complete, which shortens the development cycle immensely.
