Today Patience announced that the NDA has been lifted from the SoM Beta. Overall, southern Mirkwood is a well designed zone, and the changes coming to combat and the LI system are a great addition. My main problem with the expansion is the lack of character development...its practically non-existent. Other than getting 5 more levels, there are no new traits, and no new skills other than an upgrade at 62. (Which pretty much sucks for most classes, hunters and wardens don't even get an upgrade, all they get is a port) And contrary to the press release, SoM will not be coming with any class quests or new virtues.
Any questions? :)
