It looks like there may be a new class coming out in the next expansion. The Beserker . Details are still a bit sketchy, but some of the code was loaded onto the test server recently revealing this possible new class. Also, other info was gained on the expansion:
The following information is taken from the eqstr_en.txt file. It contains information displayed in the client, and responses made by certain NPC's in game.
Tribute Master
* %1 tells you, 'A fine donation! You'll receive %2 favor for that %3.'
* %1 tells you, 'I am not the one to whom you owe allegiance.'
* %1 tells you, 'I cannot accept your %2 as a tribute item.'
* %1 tells you, 'Your %2 is an acceptable donation, we award you %3 favor.'
* %1 tells you, 'I cannot accept everything in this container as a donation.'
It is uncertain what the Tribute Master will do in game other than that we will be able to hand in items to them for some kind of reward. There is also a new function added called: Toggle Tribute Window which indicates this will be a fairly significant game enhancement of some kind.
