Asheron's Call Nuggets

GameSpy has a write-up of the second annual Asheron's Call Luncheon (I had no idea there was a first), which is quickly followed by a preview of the expansion pack, Dark Majesty. The expansion's reason for being is mainly the addition of housing to the game. Here's more:

There will a limited number of houses in the world at launch, and everyone will be able to see the houses, even those who have not purchased the expansion pack. However, only those with the expansion will be able to purchase a house. Turbine has the ability to add houses later in time and will do so as needed, but as of now, you can only purchase an existing house. No building houses in the middle of roads or anywhere else you want. Housing will be limited to one house per account (not one per character or one per world, but one per actual account).
