(Passed on with <3 from BG's discussion of the update
With the update, there's a new "proto-waypoint" teleportation system available. It looks like the following are available- which you pay for with crystals/crystal clusters:
1) Selbina / Mhaura / Rabao / Norg
2) W.Ronfaure / N Gusta / W Saruta / La Theine / Konschtat / Tahrongi / Jugner / Pashhow / Meri Mts. / Attohwa / Ule
3) Davoi/Beadeaux/Castle Oztroja/the Quicksand Caves/Sea Serpent Grotto/the Temple of Uggalepih/the Boyahda Tree/Oldton Movalpolos/Riverne - Site #B01/Castle Zvahl Keep
And from the NPC chatter, it's also the beginning of preview stuff for the new expansion.
