UI Upgrades: The Auction House has an enhanced UI, you can send Influence/Infamy attachments by mail, your character can now have up to seven active missions, and more.
Greater Customization: Enjoy new emotes and animated tails.
Story Content: Issue 17 begins a whole new story for your Hero or Villain that leads to City of Heroes Going Rogue. The signature Positron™ Task Force has been split into two halves and upgraded. Its new, dramatic final battle now incorporates the mysterious Issue 17 enemy.
Most of this is in preparation for City of Heroes Going Rogue, as even more changes are on their way with that new expansion in July.
