    Looks like they're adding more tradeskill recipes. I hope they fix some of the existing problems with some of them, specially dorf tailoring ><.

    I'm wondering if I should pre-order it (like I have done with most expansions) or if there are going to be surprise "freebies" like with LDoN (Satchel of Abu`Kar, the keychain, etc.) for those that buy the boxed retail copy.

      It might be a download only like LoY was.

      You have until the night it goes live to purchase it at the pre-order price, and you can start downloading the files now, weather you purchase it or not, so there is no harm in waiting.

        It is a digital download product. It is already on the station for pre-order if you want:

          The digital download option only means that you can choose to purchase it for download only. It doesn't mean that there is no boxed version. If you'll note, many of the other expansions are available as both boxed versions and Digital Downloads -- and ironically, the boxed version is often cheaper, if you ignore shipping costs.

            Right. If I'm not mistaken even LoY, which was supposed to be download *only*, even had a quasi-limited physical run in retail stores.

              I read the blurb that was downloaded this morning, and it specifically stated that it will be availabel for both download, and physical shipment.

                I am planning to order it. I am not planning to pre-order and pre-download files for awhile yet. Remember how buggy the last one was, where people went from level 65 to level 50 from dying? They fixed it in a few days, but that's not my idea of a good time.

                  hehe i'm not 50 yet so np. looks promising. not sure why some of the evil races wouldn't help the invasion instead of band together though? think i'll preorder when i get the money. normally cheaper.

                    If it's available in a box, I will get it in a box. I could care less about the keychain that came with LDoN, but I like my freebie AkuBar bag that came with it...and having the CD to load the software from again.

                          Are you saying that pre-order download is $30? Exactly same as what a box (with an item) is listed at EBworld?

                          Ok, LoY and LDoN, you saved like $6-$8 if you downloaded. What incentive to download is there now?

                          Additionally, no matter how great this staff looks, if download costs same as box, about everyone will be running around with such a staff, so don't expect any oohs and aahs.

                              Convenience. You don't have to go to a store, buy a box, take it home, waste time on the installation, recycle the trash, and so forth. I'd take download over a box any day.

                              In a few months' time, the updated files won't even remotely resemble the files on the CD, so you'll likely have to re-download most of them anyway. So what's the point of keeping the CD? If you ever need to reinstall, the patcher can download all of the files for you.
