The most noteworthy element is probably the new race, the Sarnak. They have two significant characteristics; they can breathe fire, and they can walk on the ocean floor. The primary story or lore element revolves around them and their wars with the Iksar Empire; while you work to learn about them, you also have the chance to find a number of lost artifacts.
Since there's also a new starting area, the small city of Timorous Deep, which is built into a volcano, there will be content suitable for characters from levels 1 through 20. That said, the primary focus does seem to be those already at higher levels. They will see the level cap bumped up, and will also find new areas, instances and raids to challenge them. It should be mentioned that the team is striving to offer more solo-oriented play. At least in part, this is meant to give users something to do while they wait for their friends to arrive, for their raid groups to assemble, etc.
