So with Live update 48 SOE has announced that they are removing alignment restrictions from classes - This means that if you really, really want to have a Halfling bruiser or fae shadow knight, Go for it. Can anyone else come up with some truly odd combinations? Class combo's that make you go HMM. (Barbarian Assassin, Ogre Templar....) I'm wondering if they are planning on removing the betrayal quest/function - One of the more unique things in the game - Though if you betray via the quest you can betray to your arch type, So any fighter class if your a fighter, or any priest class if your a priest (Pending alignment currently)

This also raises the question, Are we finally going to see racial/Class items? For example, Only the Fae Shadow knight can wield this sword, while the arasi Templar can only use that symbol. If so, it will add another layer of complexity to the game - As well as bringing about the creation of characters made to take advantage of certain weapon/item combinations.

Also announced in this update - It's going to be easier to get around with Nek forest and thundering steppes finally getting bells back to their respective cities, and Neriak and Kelethin will be getting carpets to the sinking sands (I think)

Lastly SOE is introducing guild points (Think dragon Kill points or DKP) added to guild systems. Now for most this is just a way of assigning points to players deemed better or worse then others, a way of keeping score when people do something good or bad (I always think of demerit points for some reason) I'm not sure if it's being designed to take over the various dkp systems out there, but it's one step closer to making the game very user friendly.

That's it for now
