Chains of Eternity is slated to launch this Tuesday, November 13. The expansion will have a few things going on that you may want to be prepared for prior to launch. Last day for expansion pre-orders is Monday, November 12. If you're interested in the lower price for the Collector's Edition ($60USD, or $20USD for SOE Live attendees) or you just want the bonus cloak, make sure you pre-order the expansion as soon as possible ! All AA will be reset. Between the split of Tradeskill AA and Adventuring AA, as well as the Prestige tree changes, every single player will have a full Alternate Advancement point reset.

We're not completely certain that the mirror will be able to reload your spec correctly due to the changes , so we highly recommend doing both just to play it safe! All CoE quests require you to ...
