The expansion does look pretty cool. I especially like the city of Jobe. The other additions like specialization and profession specific equipment should help to make the game more interesting. I hope they add epic-type weapons also so that the high level people have something more to do.
One question that I have is whats going to happen to all the changes like guild houses and capturing territory that aren't listed in the expansion info? They need to focus on changes that add to gameplay because they are not going to be able compete with the graphics of games like SWG, EQ2, or AC2.
One element that I don't aggree with is that Omni players will represented by demons and clanners by angels in shadowlands. How you are represented should depend on your actions and not the side you pick. The implementation of a reputation system kind of like that in UO should be a requirement in a game like this. It rediculous that omni/clan players can attack omni/clan guards and players loyal to omni/clan can't help the guards.
