Now, for the teaser... I like it! Great story lines, and if you keep them in mind while logging in after patch is downloaded, it makes the new lore all that much funner to find and connect :)

WOOT! Tree Love! They get roots! Also, are we going to have to put up with a full month of WANGA jokes??? Please bring back the elementals! It will be less painful.

Parts of the story were cut off and some just not finished. For instance:
We shall see what the morning light brings,” Elysa said calmly and nodded her head as she placed her
Then nothing...
As the sun began to rise over the Blackmire, a thin vine reached through the surface of the swamp and
Then nothing...
It appeared that words were cut off too. Proof reading is your friends. :D
As far as the story line goes - it looks interesting. As always, I am looking forward to the patch.
Those things in the pictures look pretty bad. Cant wait to find them!!!!

What web browser are you using? The text isn't cut off on my display, under IE or Mozilla.

The Teaser sounds good!
It sounds like the story arc is starting up again.
We will learn some more about Mosswarts and the swamps it seems.
Ulgrim moved again, I wonder where he is now. DARN! I better go get that recall scroll I never got lol. Guess you can tell I hate camping the same monsters for days lol.
some stuff on there about the portal space update, which I was told will be easier to complete and set up a group for. Thank goodness! Because it was really tough to get really good noobies for their part, every time I went we didn't finish because the noobs died. I can't wait to finally finish my baudren into an Invoker.
The screen shots look great! Some nice artwork done there. I have been enjoying the newer artwork that has been slowey comming into AC patch after patch for awhile now. The art designers are doing a very good job.
Darn nobody comming to Elysa saying, "I am finding uber loot again!" *snaps her fingers* It must be whatever is killing the swamps and the mosswarts making the loot so bad, we better get to the bottom of it and destroy it. ;)

So Sclavi teaming up with Falatacot.
Nice to see the Falatcot expanding their power base .. I guess we are looking at some Dericost expansion as well?

I was using IE - but with an AOL connection.
The weird thing is - i am using my other ISP and everything is ok.
Very strange.
I hate AOL.

very good! I love the way these are written by the way.
I do have one (rather minor) complaint =/ I noticed that it's impossible to enlarge the text on that page. I know this is minor, but there are those with rather poor eyesight (me lol) and it would be really nice if I could enlarge the text or if a larger font were used.
Otherwise, all I can say is, poor little Grearrk *sniffles*
:D

No exclusive teasers on the fan sites again?
Looks good though.. those large structures look strangely reminiscent of the vault entrances in AC2 :)

Check out the web browser 'Opera' (http://www.opera.com/), it's got a really cool zoom function just to the right of the address bar.

Harzah-
If you hold down control and spin your mouse wheel while over a browser (atleast this works in IE and Mozilla), you can increase and decrease the font size on the page.

Aye, I've done that =/ it's on "Largest" (I tend to use the menu at the top View=>Text size, same effect as Ctrl+mouse wheel) and it doesn't move (on that page, note the forums for instance are different). I'm using IE6.0.2800awholebunchofnumbers. Thank you though - I blame Ibn :p Just kidding it's probably me... ><

I can't tell if that makes me think back to a certain trademarked Muppet bear . .. or something else entirely!

Well those portal/machine things with the eyes look very kool. AC doesnt really have any kool archetecture just pillars and walls.
The mosswart was a very bad gholam rip off from LOTR lol.
Those falatacot guys are some tough mofo's and sclavus "can be" strong at times. Whatever reward they are gaurding will be fun to try and get.. (i think falatacot guys are to armored though, it would be nice if they had less so you could have fun hunting them and hang out in those dungeons beyond just doing the quests)
I am guessing this might be a revamp of the swamp garden dungeons.... The swamp garden by sawato/yanshi has the key for the swamp garden in the direlands which has sclavus..
Maybe the falatacot gave banderling the wanga to test out on mossies??

look like those falatacot tribe are "very advance" form of shadow folks and knows how to use blood magic which gaerlan despise them, and he knew what Nuhmidura truly is.
another teaser pic of drudges, were they at Sea Catacomb near Yaraq? it is said that Yaraq get love for this month patch. i recognized the inside of the tower by the columns.
that is swamp temple that was surrounded by mossies. i have been there over a year ago exploring the swamp "blackmire".

Greeak ran northwest of whatever scared the bejezus out of him to Sawato...
Then a guard reports they looked over the structures between Sawato and Yanshi... which is northwest of Sawato...
So what frightened poor little Greeak?
---
...and correct me if I'm wrong, if Sawato lies on the southern edge of Blackmire Swamp, how could Greeak approach FROM the southeast through the swamp?

with this image you have on the page, makes me wonder if you guys at turbine have been spending too much time watching lord of the rings.. :)
(first thing I thought of when looking at it was the all seeing eye of Sauron)
