For me, the exploring of the newly created world ranks very high up in my list. I really love how they've implemented the fog of war so that you have to explore to unveil the map. Can't wait to die many times over while trying to get to awkward corners. xD
Beyond that, housing is a massive thing for me - particularly LS housing rather than personal housing. I want to make our LS the most awesome place there ever was. Probably won't be the best place on the server or whatever, but dammit, it'll be ours, and that makes it amazing in it's own right.
Of course, another massive thing is meeting up with all my LS pals that I met in 1.x - I can't wait to be partying up with as many of them as we can get together on one server. Hopefully that means Tony, Val, Steely, Lumos, Ari, Vaughn, Mini, Kukki (I can hope, I can!), Raine, Devore, Seiji and of course Smitten and myself taking on all the new challenges together, with whatever EoFFers swing our way!
