Also, there's a wiki timeline listing for someone named Maelstrom being born, but not sure who that is.

Ill have to think about a reason to switch Bard over... hmmm...
Conspiracy theorists (aka anachrodragon) suspect that this announcement might have something to do with Champions ramp up to launch. I just hope the expansion is really ready to go when it launches. It can be frustrating when there are major problems with a hasty release.
Well, since their FAQ basically says "it'll be ready when it's ready," I don't know how much they'll be rushing things. Just having this in the works and supplying info about it will be enough for some people to stay with COH or buy this when it comes out. Though I'm guessing most of us will be staying anyway.

I just watched the trailer. Does this mean States goes evil? Because I always thought he was a [censored]. 
My guess is that this expansion will be available sometime in the 1Q of next year. Maybe 4Q this year if they bust their butts or it is particularly content light. "When it's ready" is code for "It's nowhere near release, any dates right now would just be a guess".
Opening trading between heroes and villains would be nice. Also opening the market so that heroes and villains can buy and sell in the same market would be nice.
Don't mess with Texas!
--moo
On the other hand, the market servers are bogged down enough with the current activity. The devs are probably going to have to figure out a way to distribute the load better if they combine them.

I believe you are getting Tyrant and Statesman confused. The video and documentation show/mention both, and there is the in-game info about the Praetorian world belonging to Tyrant (wonder if they're going to retcon any of those Maria Jenkins maps... the Praetorian world seen in that video don't look like Boomtown).
Tex, I wouldn't be surprised if they combined the markets with this expansion, especially if people can switch sides.

This is an area I'm very curious to see their intentions. I don't think they will merge the markets. It has nothing to do with the arguments for or against such a merger. The devs have had ample opportunity to merge the markets but have chosen not to. If merged markets would be ok in the Rogue system, why not do it now?
I hate to say it, but this whole thing smacks of another currency to me. Not infamy, not influence, but some Pratorean currency with it's own market system that only functions in that dimension.
Another possibility, you earn along your affiliation. If you're "evil" you get Infamy, redeem your self and now you earn Influence. In other words, you'd be carrying both currencies.
Now for real annoyances, can a rogue scrapper hand a villainous dominator a skittle? Why wait until CoH:GR for this? Fix that issue now!

Oy... if they add ANOTHER currency to this game... I'm not sure what I would do. But I would not be happy. There's too much stuff to keep track of now, and it's not all balanced/gets harder to balance with the more types they add (even with today's tweaks, I would say tickets and their rewards are out of whack compared with merits).

Probably b/c so many people left the game or are still leaving the game. This is a desperate attempt to prevent this game from falling on its face. Just my 0.02

My teachers always told me to follow my dreams. To bad they are all Nightmares.
No, i believe he is correct. Why else would have states have stated that "looks can be decieving", and then in the credits it stated that loyaltys will change. I think states is gonna go "Rogue". Basically all for one, one for all. Last man standing kinda stuff.

Could be. I took it as meaning player loyalties will change, but we'll have to wait and see.

The new zone, enemies, and story look very interesting. I hope they add new AT or even EPIC AT to give something really new and different.

I think one thing that is being overlooked is the following possibility:
Yes, you may switch sides, but ONLY WITH CHARACTERS CREATED WITH THE NEW RELEASE. Sorry about the caps, but it just seems like opening too many cans of worms if they were to allow fully tricked out fifties to switch sides at launch.
I expect that this will be very similar to the CoV initial launch - there may be a small handful of zones that allow interaction between Praetoria and Paragon, but other than that, existing characters and Praetorian characters will be in two separate worlds.

Not to go off topic Esch, but a few weeks ago I was watching "The Phone" on MTV (or VH1 I forget which) the last scene was in Gasworks park there was a huge graffiti tag "Esch" in the background. Approx 35:51 into the episode, my question Esch; seeing that it took place in Seattle, do you have another hobby we don't know about?

Something I just thought of, since characters can switch sides, how will they handle Epics / Patrons? Will this allow side switchers to have access to the other's ancillary pools?
[/ QUOTE ]
I actually have no idea how they will handle this. I see three possibilities:
1.) You're locked into whatever Patron/Epic you hit first. So, if you're a level 50 Corruptor and you already took GW's Patron set... you're stuck. On the other hand, if you switch to Hero side before you pick a Patron, you get access to Epic sets.
2.) When you switch sides, you auto-respec into the "correct" Epic or Patron pool. Not sure how they would handle this with Heroes switching to Red, unless they made you run the Patron arc before picking.
3.) You keep whatever Epic or Patron you have after you switch sides, but you can respec to the opposite pool if you wish.
A fourth option might be to do away with how Epics and Patrons are handled now and implement a unified Epic pool system, but that sounds drastic.
