you honestly have to think that they are gonna give us some equavalent of realm and unique accessories or they will lose a good percentage of their player base, but then again we can only hope. i have been out of map at several places but cant seem to get to login screen and area that looks like ellore with no obstacles anymore. But i can get to the area south of salarmis gardens.
and as far as realm trade in ep1 not possible, in inventory spot look empty but when you slide cursor over it says stats and item possessed
