    The Live Letter for Patch 5.3 was held yesterday, and there were some big announcments.

    Things that were already revealed for 5.3 are as follows:

    Flying in A Realm Reborn (ARR) zones once the Main Scenario Quest (MSQ) is completed at lv50
    ARR MSQ revamp, quest rewards, XP and quest length have all been adjusted to make the levelling experience through 2.0 content faster and more enjoyable

    New Stuff:

    Lots of great stuff added, and I'm really looking forward to it. The biggest change is the change to the free trial. You really have no excuse not to at least give the game a go, as there's so much content for you to enjoy before you shell out some cash for the game!
