The Collector Instance:
- A new, and very challenging, single-team instance has been added to the entrance of Pandemonium. Who will be first to tackle these three very difficult encounters? Who will be the first to steal from the ultimate collection of hidden treasures?
Bring your very best and try to survive the most difficult small-group experience we have ever released.

- Unicorns near Borealis will no longer abandon their posts to harass low level players inside Borealis.

Edit:
Some new pictures (in addition to what I posted in the past)
The "Lock items" option prevents you from un-equipping an item by error. Here it's enabled and I tried to r-click on an item to un-equip it.
The new gird exits to our cities (Coast of Tranquility). Will make traveling easier for visitors
- and will make our markets more attractive!
These grids are on the "ground floor" of the grid, at the opposite of OA grid exit.
The exit in CoT (ours)
The exit in CoP (less pretty coz it's not ours!
)
The Agency in OA
The inside has been improved, with a third office and Elite missions.
The idea is to make a better use (and possibly multiple) of mobs, locations, and bosses by including them in missions. This is something that works well in AoC by the way.
