I can’t wait for this expansion. My favorite toon is closed to being maxed out and it will be nice to be able to level her again.

From EQ2 wire:

EverQuest II Expansion: Sentinel’s Fate
•EQ2: Sentinel’s Fate will be released in February 2010.
•SF will be based around the EQ1 continent of Odus and will cover Erudin, Paineel, and Ratonga lore. The void storyline will be ending with this expansion.
•Adventure, Tradeskill, and Guild Level caps all increase to 90.
•2 large overland zones (Stonebrunt Mountains)
•The Hole – a large level 82+ contested zone (similar to Sanctum of Scaleborn) with 3 wings, you spawn in the middle
•12 New Group Instances
•Some existing TSO group instances will also be available in a T9 (level 80-90) version.
•Guild Level increases to 90. New Guild Hall Amenities and Amenity Slots.
•No new deities with expansion, nor will there be T9 solo deity quests.
•Deity miracles may be reconsidered.
•Group and raid zones will scale in difficulty (not adventure level). A choice will have to be made when pulling or fighting certain mobs that will set the encounter difficulty to easy, normal, or hard. The difficulty level will be set by the manner in which you start the encounter (i.e a boss may have a narrative, depending on your choice, you may get ‘easy mode’ where he sends his minions and escapes, or hard mode where you fight the boss himself)
•AA cap to 250. New abilities are going to be added to the bottom of the Class (KoS) and Subclass (EoF) AA Trees, below what is now the end abilities. Some of these endline abilities will be passive, triggering based on specific chains of other abilities being cast.
•Mythical weapons will not be the ‘Number 1′ weapon, but will have another, important, use. Perhaps usable as a clicky item to get the unique class-defining abilities, or equippable in a charm slot.
•Grouping, Soloing, and Questing will all be viable leveling options.

All I can say is WOOOOOOOOOT and ZOMG now I have to level all my tradeskillers too!!!!
