I don't think the armor will be anything we have seen so far for this reason; you have to be a certain level to wear certain type of armor. If this traing area is for low lvs, steel armor would be useless to them. The cape idea is closer, I think, but still no quite it. I believe it will be a special armor that any level player could use. As far as the release, I think it could come out next weekend. They have created alot of buzz surrounding it and that would be a good time to release the expantion. Maybe even today (Saturday.)
