sorry but i forgot a few important features:
- craftable traps that can be placed by everyone
- there will be a few kind of traps.. basic traps just doing melee dmg, casting traps .. casters will be able to build casting traps with attack/debuff spells up to their lvl, beast traps release mobs out of a cage after they are triggered and of course the alarm traps which send a more or less loud warning

- the character generation is in game so it doesn't matter what you create in the character generation screen since it will be changed anyway..
- message board revival! if you want to send an offline player a message or get ur messages take a look at the message boards

- the whole world will have customized content and zones
- there will be a few kind of titles (pve and pvp ones) you can attain by killing players/npcs, doing missions or questing for them. a command will show you which titles can be enabled for the char.
