With summer in full swing and plenty of people out of school and enjoying vacations, World of Warcraft figures that it had better darn well entertain those who will be playing the game in July.

Trion released a dev blog introducing sandvox Trove's cornerstone system to new players last night. Cornerstones are houses akin to a personal home base, a plot that you can build up and drag around with you from map to map, planting it anywhere there's an unclaimed plot out in the world.
