If you haven't seen, or don't pay attention to, the Test server updates notes you may wish to take a look at the Test server GU61 update notes.

There are a lot of changes coming in most areas of the game and its almost certain that these changes will affect at least one of your characters ... hopefully for the better.

The highlights are:

• Plane of War opens (raid and group instances)
• Fae (85+) learn to fly
• New "Dynamic Dungeons" (i.e. they scale) in Sinking Sands
• AA Revamped
• Tradeskill AA being added
• Changes to character stats (in terms of what they do rather than what they are)
• Changes to some class spells/abilities
• Loot re-itemized from 20 - 90 (excluding Sentinel's Fate and Velious loot)
• Tokens to jump your alts to 40K faction with Coldain and Ry'Gorr factions
• Numerous zone changes/updates
• New quests and new loot for old quests

NOTE: Any patch notes from the Test server are NOT FINAL and things may (read: probably will) change a bit before they go live so "take it with a grain of salt", as they say.

 

Follow-Up: There is a more in-depth interview over on the Ten Ton Hammer site in which they talk to SmokeJumper about the details of things to come in EQ2 through the next year or so.
