Two main things that interested me was the announcement about Spring Cleaning:
"When is Spring Cleaning going to end?"
Consider this your two-week notice - we're currently shooting to turn Spring Cleaning off the third week of August. (It's tied to the publish, though, so if that gets delayed for any reason, you'll get more time to sweep those last few corners.)
When we turn it off, what will happen is the NPCs that currently accept items and hand out tickets will go away. The reward box that accepts tickets and gives prizes will stick around for a while longer to give everyone a chance to use up their points.
And the announcement about Arcane Focus:
"Why can I only get a level 4 Arcane Focus even with five or more people?"
This was an intended (if undocumented) change from the last publish. I talked to Draconi about it, and it is intended - the change was made to allow the design team some greater flexibility with Arcane Focus in the future. So at the moment it's a definite nerf, but there will be an upside a little further down the road.
So the max focus level will remain 4 in all except the Prism of Light which still gives a +1 bonus enabling those willing to go down there to get a level 5 focus.
