Yes, you are right about that. We should have done it with more time.
1- Lameguard
2- No cat/pony/dwarf/dance of berserker/song of purification, CC yes. Buffs that are not in buffer have retail time
3- They don't remove buffs
4- x10 KE, fame x5 (pvp reward and zone reward)
5- drop x5, reward x1
6- I prefer not to say pack name. Based on russian files
7- Not enabled
8- Obviously we didn't test all quests, but what we felt was important was tested, mostly endgame
9- Yes
10- With vote reward you can get some items, it will be enabled when we get accepted in hopzone. Auto-events are disabled now, but you will be able to get accessories
11- Days 1 and 15 of every month
12- Retail respawn, 18 for frintezza, rest untouched
13- Retail formula, but they return buffs after some time (how much time - depends on skill, so it can be balanced properly)
