This is an important question to me. I already know that I'm going to create a brand-new character to be a Dark Knight (I like my Miqo'te too much to change him, but want something more imposing for a Dark Knight), but I would like to know if there will be a new STARTER City-State or not.

The reason being, if there *IS*, I will wait on playing up a new character, because I would want to experience that new starting area for myself on a brand-new character. If there *IS NOT*, then I would probably just go ahead and start a character now, so that way I have the EXP-Bonus for the Dark Knight right out of the gate.

I know it's typically in poor taste to call the Devs out specifically, but if the NA/EU team could somehow get an answer on this for us, that would be absolutely wonderful! I know you guys can't very well give us any information beyond that, but I would simply like to know is a new Starting City-State will be available, as it will greatly impact my own plans for playing
