Asherons Call: More Expansion Details From Turbine Nation

Deeamhatt of Warcry reports,

• New playable race: The fourth playable character race, the Viamont, will have much better 32bit graphics instead of 16bit (other races *may* change later) and will have an island of their own to the north. (Racial skill information has not been released yet, sorry.)
• Armor: Improved graphics that are much brighter and clearer. New racial armor styles! (Strongly resembles a platemail-covenant armor hybrid.)
• More rare drop details: There will be five tiers of rare drop with the highest tier happening once per month across all server worlds. One example of these rare drops will be +500 skill healing kits which have only 5 uses.
• Level cap clarification: On raise from 126 to 275. This is going to be an actual change in level display. So if after the expansion, your character is calculated as being level 240 then your character information will show your level as 240 rather than 126. Please note: Turbine's calculations will be based on the experience you have spent into attributes, skills and have unassigned.
• Augmentation Gems: These are items which are either made or purchased. Using them to augment your will cost unassigend experience. Whether these effects are permanent or temporary is unknown.
• Creatures: One creature will be called The Eater.

Thank you, Deeamhatt. Hopefully, I'll be able to pump some more people for details later. =)
