New Mounts, New Deities
Players will now be able to ride new mounts such as a bear and a unicorn. Two new deities have also been introduced into Norrath: Rodcet Nife and Anashti Sul. Players can also now ride airships to travel between distant lands.
A New Group of Erudites Offer New Loot

If you are in your right mind then please do not purchase this from here.

If high (and i mean HIGH) fantasy is your calling then this is the game for you. Gameplay is standard MMO fare with some cool spell/attack combos thrown in to spice things up. There is mounts and swimming and fishing and crafting.
Old areas of the game show their age and neglect deeply. Whereas newer areas of the game are more lush and vibrant, with better quests and rewards and NPCs.
The graphics are dated now, the game isn't all bad looking but the problem here lies in that they use pixel shader 1.1 for most of the rendering. This game was in development back in 1999 and they gambled on the wrong technology.
There is a pixel shader 3.0 update that was supposed to come out at christmas, and then it was supposed to come out when Sentinal's Fate came out. So far no 3.0 update. I stopped playing a while back as it got pretty stale, but I could see myself playing this over the likes of WoW any day.
High Fantasy at its best. What's funny is I don't think SoE is even close to being out of ideas for new content in this game. These guys have the imaginations of world class fantasy novelists.
