Will the level cap increase?
A: No. The level cap will not increase with the Rising Tide Expansion.

Will there be new territories for guilds to battle for?
A: Absolutely.

Will Psychic and Assassin be multi-gender like Wizard/Blademaster? Or will they be restricted like Barbarian/Venomancer?
A: The new Tideborn classes will be multi-gender.

What kind of flying mounts will the Tideborn use?
A: The Tideborn will use a new set of wings exclusive to their race.

Will the squad limit still be 6 players?

A: Yes. Even though the total number of classes is being raised to 8, we still feel that a squad of 6 is ideal for group type content.

Will there be new quests/content for high level players or only new quests for Tideborn 1-19?
A: There are some new quests for all existing classes, as well as the quests for Tideborn 1-19.

Will there be an underwater dungeon?
A: There will of course be new content that takes place underwater. At release there will not be an underwater dungeon, but that doesn't mean that it isn't in the pipeline.
