Lots of good information about the upcoming Shadowlands Expansion and AO in general. Here are a few items:

All changes will only be inside the Shadowlands themselves. Nothing will change in Rubi-Ka

All treatment and nano recharge equipment will be obsolete. It will be exchanged with other, just as effective, equipment based on Spirit-Tech instead.

All flying equipment and nanos will be obsolete. So will all other cars. This includes also flying effects from Adv. Polymorphs. All grid-in nanos, summon team member nanos, evacs etc, and teleport to location (NT) nanos will be obsolete. They will be replaced by something, but we haven't decided which of the (3) alternatives we shall go with yet.

Hardware requirements will be higher for the shadowlands, We have not decided on the details yet.

New High level dungeon called Inner Sanctium will be out before Shadowlands in version 14.9
