A few questions.

[Septa Scarabae]

A level 50 will be capable of evenly fellowing with a level 275, is this subject to change sometime in the future after the release of the xp?

Are there any plans to single-out level 200+ chars with new level reqs?

Textures are being updated, does this mean we may see some models get updated?

The updated graphics seem to support bump mapping, is this the case?

Will we possibly be seeing updates to the current races with the addition of the Viamont race?

Will the new player customization controls(faces/hairstyles) be available to all races?

Could the overall facial appearance of our current avatar change due to customization changes?

Would it be possible to change certain appearances after a character is made? Example: Hairstyle/Facial Hairstyle

Will the new archipelago be based towards one level range or all of them?

Will you release a Viamont rank pyramid, similar to those done for the other three races?

We know creatures and armor textures are going to be getting updates, can we assume the same for terrain and vegetation?

Medieval French and Italian cultures influenced the Viamont, what were the different influences for the other races? (Haven't heard it said before, though I'm sure it has if it isn't obvious in certain aspects :))

Edit: Forgive me if some of these have been answered, I've read the Q&A's, but something could have slipped my mind.

I would assume based on popular models for most games races are influenced most likely by the following

Aluvian=Medieval English(platemail and helm reminiscent of style in era)
Sho=Ancient Chinese/Japenese (note samurai style armor koujia)
Gharu=Possibly African or Turkish?

Will we possibly be seeing updates to the current races with the addition of the Viamont race? Such as? We'll be getting some new hair styles and such. What else do you mean?

Will the new player customization controls(faces/hairstyles) be available to all races?As I understood it, yes.

Could the overall facial appearance of our current avatar change due to customization changes?No idea

Would it be possible to change certain appearances after a character is made? Example: Hairstyle/Facial HairstyleMaybe we'll get a hairstyling skill :)

Will the new archipelago be based towards one level range or all of them?
Sounds like all levels
Will you release a Viamont rank pyramid, similar to those done for the other three races?If you mean titles, I think they are

We know creatures and armor textures are going to be getting updates, can we assume the same for terrain and vegetation?That would be my guess
