With the servers very active with people playing the new expansion content our priority for the coders and operational teams has been ensuring we continue to work on improving the performance of both the servers and the client. The changes this week to the hardware configurations are the latest step towards that following up on the work done last week. The coders are continuing to focus on the optimization process.

In terms of the content teams we are very closely following the activity on the live servers, watching what people are doing, and how they are approaching the new content. We are focusing on continuing with more adjustments, tweaks and fixes for the new quests and encounters. We are also starting to look at how the reward mechanics are being adopted, both in terms of AA advancement and faction gain, and will start with some small adjustments (hopefully in the update next week) to add in some more options for sources of advancement. This will then be an ongoing process and we will continue to adjust those kinds of factors as we continue to see how people progress through the expansion content.

In the bigger picture some of the designers are also already at work on the next stage of the tier four raiding, but we'll talk more about that a little later as it gets closer to the live servers
