  • Christina: We will give out extra Empowerment Points so that you can actually really really enjoy the game longer, and we'll have different cash items [sic] giveaways and just... even for just logging in, so you definitely want to check out the game on launch date and until the weekend, also.

Forums

Information found on the forums via. posts by Alteris.

Mounts

• Alteris:
  I don't think the mounts made it into this update. But since I don't have much access to the updated client, don't take my word for it.
  • Original Post

Downtime

• Alteris:
  [...] On a serious note, the patch should be huge that day so expect a longer than usual downtime.
  • Original Post

Future PvP Modes

• Alteris:
  PvP modes are currently being tested, but they are not slated for the new update. Right now our main goal is to test Level 32 properly as well as all the 500+ quests so that when it's launched everyone can enjoy it bug free.
