We would like to share a brief outline for the initial launch period of the next expansion.

- We are aiming at early January for the expansion launch, to avoid clashes with the event and holiday periods at the end of the year.
- We will be releasing the first of 3 new zones with the initial launch, aimed at progressing players to level 96 where the first specialty content including companions will be unlocked.
- Work is now complete on basic zone, mob and questing content for the initial release and we are now focused on endgame content creation including companions and crew upgrades.
- There will be 5 tiers of companion power levels. Rare quest items that unlock companions will be used to unlock any chosen companion from that tier, giving players more freedom with how they choose to progress their companion roster.

- Brand of Lunacy / Insanity / Madness droprates increased by 100%.
- Relic of Elements / Power / Chaos / Echoes droprates increased by 100%.

To provide notice ahead of time, this year for the Halloversary event at the end of October we will be adding 25th anniversary bundles similar to the 20th anniversary bundles, where players can purchase 25x of each Fury potion at a 25% discounted price. These new bundles will also replace the 20x bundles for all future event giveaways. We would like to hear feedback on any additions you would like to see for this year's event.

We have updated a large number of older items that were missing the No-Transfer label.
