What will be the glaring differences? Will there be more customizable options for characters, like appearance. Any zones that will be unlocked that we cant already enter?

there will be at least 25 missions available at retail. that means more storyline and maps at least.

Definately more PvE maps available. We are probably only seeing about 40% of the PvE content right now.

And hopefully they'll get the Pet/Hench AI done right...and most important of all...the Auction House!!

As for UI, character appearances etc..I'm sure there will be some changes from this BWE till release. But these are just less significant part of the game anyway compared to stuff like Auction House.

Also with the new high level PvE map available...I wonder if they are gonna increase the party size just for the special maps unlocked by HoH.

besides the 25 missions there are at least 60-70 large explorable areas

this is before additional content is streamed in
