Some interesting things in here. Was a little set back by them stating that a 10 level grind (as is the norm with expansions) will not occur with this release.

They mention "specializations" available for each class, but they do not look like much more than a choice between "have" or "have not". What I mean is that their are not multiple specializations for each class available.

A new profession, heavy armor based, is making an appearance though.

They also introduced "Mastery" which is supposed to be an account based progression system for your character pools. No specifics yet.

Looks interesting. Also, the price is always right with these games and them not charging subscription fees.
