	So, have we gotten any further word on when & what this is going to be? 12 was just meh for me, and while 11 was not bad, it was not good imho either for a majority of the playerbase. For some reason I just haven't seen any actual information beyond a couple of "maybe's" and "possible's". Anyone have come across anything about mod 13 yet? thx

	MadFloyd said that U13 would have quests and would not have more challenges. I know that's more about what won't be in U13 than what will be in it, but I figured it's worth mentioning.

	My bet/hope is on finished PrEs - if they are that fast. According to a recent "what do you guys want most" thread, this was the #1 wish. Quote: I was gonna say - I'd bet that the odds of seeing Druid are very, very low. A metabet! I'll bet that I won't take the bet you are offering!

That's what they teach you in CRM 101. Wave arms making chicken noises in front of the customer to make him think you care about him and his problems... Then once the Customer is appeased, go back to business as usual until next time.

	well I have to say - if they dropped 1 more of each - Cleric, FvS, Barb, Sorc, Halfling, dwarf, Horc, Warforged, and Arti; then added next teir on a handful of ones that are stuck at 1 or two..... well the game would abuzz for quite awhile while everyone tried to figure out what was the new best.... Add 4-6 new quests + decent explorer area w/ Epic versions of quests and loot and that kind of update could hold lots of people over quite awhile...

	Quote: I want a new Subterrane, but in the sky. Quote: I LOVE this idea. Maybe add some wacky MC Escher shit too. Oh dear... I'm an avid rock climber and mountaineer, I've been on cliffs several hundred meters high and never had any fear of height... except when I play DDO and encounter quests like VON2, Dreaming Dark and Reaver Refuge... there I always gets my guts knoted up and fear I'll fall ( even if I know it's just a game and compared to the real stuff it's safe to fall ). The worst is that I really like these quests, but they just make me cringe, while doing some real climbing ( and even jumping between crags, rappelling, jumping in crevices on a glacier [ to show to people how to self extract from such a situation ] ) don't move me at all.

They already have the system for flying enemies like this in Into The Deep with the underwater fighting and with the abashai in chronoscope. It might also bring a large advantage to ranged dps characters.

	Quote: Coughgreendragonraidcough We've all seen Sirgog's wishlist every update. We are currently trying to figure out new ideas. How about another time traveling adventure, but with an explorer area. My thoughts are Epic Gianthold, BUT, eGH is set in the period BEFORE the cataclysm, during the giants/dragons war. The goal could be to make sure the cataclysm happens as planned, including a raid at the end with a timer to set off, and then escape, the cataclysm. Shards, seals and scrolls of the current gh loots (quest, raid and dragonscale armors) are dropped in quests. Scrolls can drop in the explorer area where players fight dragons and giants in an expanded gianthold. Seals for quest loot can drop from rare explorer bosses. All shards for raid loot fall in the raid. All quest shards fall in quest chests. It will probably be like the current Desert epics, but by making an explorer area that can drop seals shards and scrolls, it may feel less grindy. I'll make an official forums post later today after I get home and get to my home computer :3

I know plenty who do that on epic on the way down to the demon. The abashai thing in chrono was really well done I felt. It encourages situational awareness. Players don't like to look up in video games.
