All that focus yet they are still the same races (now 4) mixed into factions. So yet again Priests of Mitra kill each other, Necromancers can run with all their pets out through Cimmeria (would never happen), and there is no racial loyalty. Racial loyalty was a huge part of ancient empires. It was the Romans that truly allowed intermingling - which arguably led to their decline. Racial pride is a terrible concept in 2010, but in 2010 B.C.E. it was a part of life - Age of Conan ignores this.

@1GameataTime I'm not sure if I can provide a concrete answer to that question. I am more of a level 8 classes at once while gaining high pvp levels as I go kinda gamer. Being in-depth about end game content is not in my near future, which will most likely keep me subbed. But, I think you need to be 'keyed' for progression, so I don't think anything will be obsolete.

@Negativions cool, so basically new dungeons and raids and content that wont completely make all of the old stuff uneccessary like when most games make new expansions?

[Negativions]

@1GameataTime

No. There will be new areas to explore and much to do in the game which will earn you more points to put in a new cross class tree of talents. You expand laterally.

is the level cap getting raised?
