3.1 is coming on July 18th!

On July 18, 4 days from today,  the 3.1 update will be brought to the NA servers.  The update will bring some changes to the game,  such as the introduction of a second  "fast track" server for players 1-50 who want to level up quickly.   The fast track server will have rift buffs up,  which makes it more of a pve power leveling server.  The other server won't have rifting buffs,  which is for those who want to experience the pvp aspect of the game. 
Another new feature is the addition of a new world boss into the abyss region:  Moltenus.  It'll be fun to see how he looks and fights! 
Also,  the NC store is gonna be updated on the same day as the 3.1 launch. 
See you in game on launch day!

here's my list of the 12 most important changes:
