kronus should still be there, but here's the change run down:
2 new areas: umbris camp fel side north of forget gate, and new graveyard (can't say

)
more people are using the exex to sell goods like organics/wood/ignots/EDs...etc.
champ changes: max number of ps you can get from a champ is 2, but he'll give up to 6. there are now 3 Lord oaks, but it's random as to the head drop. if a guildie is in one lord oaks champ spawn no one else from your guild can participate in another lord oak spawn (if it's up). <---correct me if i'm wrong people.
Peerless changes: peerless do not drop gold anymore, but is replaced with elven notes (10-20 i think).
raflle stones: there are some items that get raffled off i think it's 10k per ticket. sometimes they even have house's (water/mountain).
house drops: house's are no longer announced they can drop at anytime (only if they are inactive for a really long time). saves with item counts.
did i mention the new graveyard. well if i think up more i'll edit.
