Hee hee hee.

That's since been taken down, it seems. Link gets a 404, and I see no mention of it in the news.

Well, basic details that I saw before it vanished (Probably put up too soon by accident), a new 30-35 zone known as Night Ward, involving the shadow paths from First Ward and the return of Shadow Hunter, the end of the Primal-Praetoria war, Signature Story Arc 2, involving various hero and villain groups mysteriously powering up... oh, and a new Incarnate slot opening up.

Yeah, I was wondering what use the shadow paths were -- when I first ran into them they seemed pretty much like hooks to nothing...

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.

As it's still in the web cache, here's the rundown:

- New Praetorian 30-35 Co-op zone, Shadow Ward, continues First Ward storyline and is a strange place trapped between the Living and the Dead.
- New enemies: Animus Arcana (sentient spells who seek power), Drudges (undead who seek to guide souls, living and dead, to the realm of the death), Black Knights (jailers of the Shadow Ward), and the return of Shadow Hunter and his army of beasts.
- Magisterium Trial: The finale of the Praetorian War as you use information learned in Dilemma Diabolique to take down the Well's Champion once and for all.
- New LFG channel available publically to Free/Premium/VIP players. All players can now join SGs regardless of free/premium/VIP status
-New Portal system allows easy access to outlying alternate worlds like Praetoria and the Shadow Shard
- Signature Story Arc 2: Pandora's Box - Heroes and Villains alike are getting supercharged with new uncontrollable power. Heroes team up with the Freedom Phalanx to determine the source of this new surge of power while villains take advantage to prepare the groundwork for an organization that will rival Arachnos.
- New T9 VIP costume set - Mecha Armor
- New Free Costume set - Chainmail and Leather Armor
- Hybrid Incarnate Slot unlocked - Gain new powers that allow you to shore up your weaknesses or enhance your strengths. Assault (damage), Control (lockdowns), Melee (defense and mez protect), and Support (ambient team buffs) confirmed.

Thanks OM, didn't expect them to yank the page, but yeah. This is the new shiny stuff coming out at some point.

I am really looking forward to the final Incarnate trial and curious about the new teleporters, I can see Shard TF's being doable with them

some one had a screen shot from the Beta.... Shadow Ward has Friken  Police Phone Box's!

So does this mean the Shadow ward is Praet Britain?

This means all the Doctor Ersatz characters with Time Manip are going to be arguing over who's Tardis it is.

Well, obviously it's a shoutout to a classic Silver Age Superman story -- it belongs to the Doctor Red, while the "standard" TARDIS belongs to Doctor Blue.

Silver Age... Oh, right, I forgot that the 90's writers copied that idea and made it EVEN WORSE...

If, by Doctor Red, you mean Doctor Rose, then yes. Quite.
(scroll down to see the picture of her TARDIS to see what I'm talking about.)

No, I'm referring to Superman Red and Superman Blue.

Follow my link. scroll down the page at that link. Tell me what you SEE. There's a PICTURE THERE. Note the shape and color of the object in that photograph. Then compare it to the screenshot in this thread.

Just humor me and play straight man to my loony ranting. TRUST ME. ^_^

Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode.

As soon as this hit's Beta, I got a ton of saved ViP points, I will buy all the T9 Mech stuff and post screenys
