Lots of cool stuff. I love that zcoins are tradeable now, especially given that I've actually been working on Zaishen stuff lately on the side. Also like the addition of Imperial Faction which allows people to play on the side they feel like and get any type of faction they choose for a reward.

The new weapon skins are pretty nice too. Dat scythe, man!

A few of us had a lot of fun on vent today doing the original Titan quests in preparation for the HM versions. Not as cool as I remember them being from back in the Prophecies days, but still. Nice change of pace.

After Griff left, out of curiosity I went to HA. Worst team ever assembled, mostly PvE builds, only one monk, and only 3 of us who knew what to do. Still though, we made it to HoH, obviously got raped by "HALLZ DEEP", but, if we get a team going, we can get easy/free fame and even some HoH wins. All you need at this point are the builds for HoH itself and kill all the pugs/noobs that you encounter on the run. So basically, now I'm three times as enthusiastic about PvP as I was before. Hell, all we need is to get on PvX take a look at some METAs to get an idea and, at least for this days, "wallah!", free fame.
