Lots of cool updates plus a new quest! I'm always in need of new bank slots so I'll be keeping an eye out for this NPC in the Heartlands. ^_^ One extra thing that I noticed is that the ice has a crackled pattern now, it looks like ice! Nice ice is nice. Such fab new animations, glide, skate, the resuscitation swirl, hyperactive dragons... Kudos!

New flying mechanics are neat
Pegasi is my favourite race, so that's kinda diverses gameplay for me. I had a lot of fun just gliding and diving
Thanks to the team for giving us such updates
