The new missions consist of two arcs each for heroes and villains in the 20-30 range, one of the midgame shuffles that frequently needs some love. It'll go nicely with the expanded limit of seven active missions, unlike the three that have been allowed since launch. If you have an alt in that range (and you likely do) but are worried they're short on Enhancements, the update has that covered as well. The in-game mail now allows funds to be sent, so you can transfer Influence/Infamy without the aid of a third party. There's also the addition of tail animations, specific improvements to Mission Architect, and more than enough updates to make any City of Heroes player giggle with glee. Take a look!

So the graphics update is not just for the new zones, it's for the entire game?

Correct. The entire game is able to use the improved Ultra Mode graphics. But the new zones that are coming with the Going Rogue expansion have been built specifically with Ultra Mode in mind.

Yep. Whole game's getting it. The main difference is that the new zones were designed with Ultra Mode in mind, so they sort of showcase it.

"In-Game E-mail: You can now use in-game e-mails to send Influence/Infamy to your own characters or to other players' characters via in-game e-mails. (You still cannot send Influence, Infamy, or items from a Hero to a Villain or vice versa.)"
Cool. Giving serious thought to rejoining the fight!

It's been a long wait, but I'm happy w/ all the changes. They've just made one of the most friendly, headache-free MMOs even more so.
The Ultra Mode has got me the most interested. It will really bring a new feel to the game. New accolades as well; will be fun getting those. : )

I like what I'm hearing about the new mail system. I might give it a shot someday.
