RED micro-site now out!

Party play zones?

Not as far as I know.

edit: consider the implications if it is a direct number-for-number carrying over. Can one enhancement compensate for the higher stats of a higher-levelled equipment? And at what cost?

Hadriel

Frankly, it sucks. The weapons have lower base stats, the levels do little to compensate for it. The armor is crap, and except for the gloves, they don't even have attack. The levels don't do much for the armor, giving +3 all stats for 3 levels, and then +4 all stats for 2 levels, for a total of +17. It clashes with Tyrants, and Root Abyss just seems overall better since RA+Tyrants can out do this set.

We still don't actually know how "upgrading" works, and I can't say I place much faith in what they tell us.

The only redeeming quality I see in this set is that it's common, and that's just because I greatly enjoy switching classes at whim, but that's not even applicable, because you can't even scissor them. It's equip tradeblock and then untradeable forever. Also I rather like the look, but that's what anvils are for.

But that's comparing it to RA+Tyrants. If you're upgrading from Empress to this, I could see it being pretty nice.

They've got to be doing more with this set. I mean, look at RA. They changed the weapon and the set effect like 3 or 4 times.
