Lamannia opens starting today at 5pm, and the preview continues until 5:00pm Eastern (-4 GMT) on Friday, February 21st.
Of Special Note:
New Free Raid: Den of Vipers
A new raid is available for this preview. This raid is Legendary CR 36. Use this thread to discuss the latest changes in this preview, and use this thread to discuss the latest raid loot updates.
You can enter the raid by going to the Hall of Heroes, and then speaking with the NPC Garzin Panoplus near the fountain in the western wing. NOTE: You do not have to have completed a lantern in order to enter the raid, you simply need to be high enough level to access it. Garzin is currently enforcing raid timers, which can be obtained in either the test dojo or the DDO Store on Lamannia.

A preview of the 13th Year of the Dragon Gift is available! Speak with Xatheral in the Hall of Heroes to try the new Dragon Disciple Archetype! Use this thread to discuss the latest changes with this preview.

DDO 19th Anniversary
Some aspects of the 19th anniversary are available to preview. Speak with the Anniversary Djinn in House Phiarlan to try them!
Changes have been made to the True Reincarnation system to defer when the increase to required XP begins in Heroic levels.
Previously:
Your 1st Life required 1,900,000 XP to reach Level 20
Your 2nd Life required 2,850,000 XP to reach Level 20
All subsequent lives required 3,800,000 XP to reach Level 20.
This has changed to the following:
Your 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Lives require 1,900,000 XP to reach Level 20
Your 5th, 6th, and 7th Lives require 2,850,000 XP to reach Level 20
All subsequent lives require 3,800,000 XP to reach Level 20.
This new curve is standard for all brand-new characters. This new curve applies to existing characters the next time that they True Reincarnate, Racial Reincarnate, or Iconic Reincarnate. Use this thread for discussion about these changes.

- During this preview the Djinn is offering the Anniversary Discovery Boost buff
- The traditional annual Anniversary Dungeon has been updated for this year with festive changes like we typically do, but there have also been more substantial adjustments made to layout and lighting in some rooms to improve performance in the quest. Let us know how performance behaves for you with these changes! NOTE: Lamannia is a 32-bit game world and may still suffer from some forms of performance issues associated with 32-bit, but we do still want to hear feedback about performance despite this.
