As most folks already know, the Isle of Dawn will not only serve as a trial for new Vanguard players (with content that runs through the first ten levels of the game in all three spheres) but it will also serve as a new starting city for existing players.

Everyone will still get to select to start in their own racial city if they'd like to, but the option to begin your adventures on the Isle of Dawn will also be present. The Isle will represent the new standard to which we hold content coming into the game and should raise the bar significantly. Even if you happen to love a particular starting city already, we'd highly recommend running through the Isle of Dawn at least once.

One question a lot of folks have about the Isle though is what benefit it gives existing players. Sure, it'll be very helpful to newer players coming back to the game but what will it do for people already here? Well, aside of the obvious in offering a brand new starting city it's also going to not only be introducing a lot more people (and potential group or guild mates) into the game but it will be putting them on a more guided path through Telon once they leave the island.

Players will always be able to choose wherever they go, of course, but we're also going to be revamping each of the three possible locations you can depart trial island to (one on each continent) and as a part of those revamps giving players a much better idea of which directions they could be headed in, instead of just sort of spinning them around and then giving them a shove.
