Well, they can lock T4 as no-one is going to be doing that any time soon But yes, does feel a bit soon unless they have a version which is not currently being beta tested...

/edit

Hmm - been trawling around and there's some stuff hinted at that hasn't been seen yet...for example, gaining new combo and spell ranks via quests or drops; the whole hidden faction quest chain that leads to T4; the loot drops...either the internal version testing is going well or they've yet to push this out to beta...

[Gert]

Was that the "claim" item I saw which had no symbol and I couldn't claim ?

[Gert]

No - that's the Fu dog for the beta testers...

Kappa pet from the preorder has a pet buff:

Kappa's Fortune: +31 hit rating, +155 crit dmg bonus rating
Kappa's Might: +37 magic dmg, +340 combat rating
Kappa's Precision: +931 armour penetration, +312 spell penetration

can select which one by using the pet attack button on a target; Kappa pet doesn't actually attack...

[Alb]

ah oki

[Gert]

The £8.99 cost btw is the upgrade for RotGS to CE; it's £19.99 if you don't have RotGS then extra to upgrade.

[Alb]

Ah ... that makes more sense to be honest as 8.99 sounded very very cheap for an "expansion collectors" pack.

And I was also wondering what would happen to my normal RoTG :/

[Gert]

Did seem cheap so double checked on my 2nd account that doesn't have RotGS.

[Shalaani]

So, its £8.99 for the pre-order thing with the pets
then you have to fork out another £20-£30 after for the actual expansion?

[Gert]

It's £19.99 for RotGS; £8.99 on top to make it the Collector edition (ring, bird pet, pots); Kappa pet is given on any preorder on the account page...you also have Tortage Survivor pack and Might of Crom pack upgrades.

[Shalaani]

Looks like my card is going to come out again! i feel i just hit 80 just in time lol think i might grab the CE. Seeing as AoC the second MMO i've ever hit the level cap on, so makes sence to splash out on it!

Edit:
I've looked everywhere but i cant find information, what are the Tortage Survivor pack and Might of Crom pack upgrades?

[Alb]

The packs in a way is similar (in principle) to the RotG CE upgrade ... give some additional items etc. (different to the RoTG CE ones) which is mainly useful for the leveling area and a Snow Mammoth. So not sure if it is worth while :/

I would have to log into my account page to see what it actually contains.

[Kendar]

Yep, you can easily see what they contain from the account page

Once you've placed the order for RotGS, you get the choice of adding 1 of the 3 packs...

[Gambit]

[Shalaani]
