From some of the notes I read on it, it looks pretty cool. Finally, distinctive armor.

Signature quests look pretty cool as well.
I recently resubbed to EQ2 after becoming bored with WoW, again.
SOE apparently given out several 'gift' items to players who've had accounts for the longest time. A weapons rack and a cool painting went into my house, but thats small potatoes. A device that makes fireworks was pretty cool, but not really useful. However, the draughts of the wise, potions that increase your tradeskill xp and combat xp were invaluable. They came in 3 strengths, 26%, 37%, and 52% xp bonuses, 3 of each strength.
I've also noticed a number of UI changes that streamline the gameplay.
Only major downside to EQ2 is that it makes me want to upgrade my computer every time I play it.
