I'll be waiting for more news. 

Thanks for the thread.

Updated the post.

Thanks for the post!  I wonder if 3.5 will hit NA before GW2 LOL!

Either way it's cool to have something to look forward to, and play while waiting as well.

3.5 looks really good.

Even F2P games get bigger updates than SWTOR...

I really like Aion and wish so very much there was a pve server like Ken Rahuel in Lineage.  I know I know, but I don't want to pvp anymore and I love this style of game.  I'm hoping something coming down the pipeline from NCSoft will include a pve option for a game like this.

Anyway, the update does look cool.  Well done.  I never thought F2P could shape up to look like this.

Roll on any server but Kahrun and you can pretty much play through the game without PvPing at all.   Rift buffs are on permanently now so rifters are extremely rare, and even if they do show up they get a 40-80% debuff that makes it very hard for them to kill you, especially if you run.   

End game zones are pretty much PvE now with PvP disabled (both factions share the same zones) except for a few small pockets where PvP is enabled (it's very obvious because they'll tell you that you're entering a PvP zone).   You pretty much never have to go in there.

Some perks from the last developer interview:

3.0 KR scheduled for early July

New class announced for 4.0
