More news!Our great big amazing update is currently scheduled for 9:30am PST on Monday, November 17th.
Mark your calendars! There will be a short period of downtime associated with the install process -- probably no longer than 30 minutes.

To answer your questions...
Will it be possible to purchase extra pages for groups? This has been the most popular question about this update so far. I'm happy to report that the answer is yes! This feature is locked and loaded and ready to roll out on Monday morning.
Now that we're switching to objects, will the prices on things be different? All of your favorite account perks will cost the same as before. You'll just have more options for how and when to make use of those perks. When it comes to the new items, Group Epicness does cost more than User Epicness, as it has the potential to benefits several hundred people at once (and for the cost to be split between multiple people, as well). The price for extra group pages will be no different than extra character pages.
You hinted about contests. Will there be contests? You caught me. Yes, there will be a few contests to help celebrate this momentous launch. Everyone will be able to enter at least one, regardless of their particular skill sets.A short film about one RPR Group
In excitement for the release of groups, our resident film maker Darth_Angelus created an awesome series of three shorts about the adventures of one group on the RPR. But the third short was never aired.
Now that we're finally launching, the third short in the series will be launching too. Refresh your memory by checking out the first episode again!

@DeathScythe - Good question. The unicorn's name is Claymore, and it is the Hero's faithful traveling companion. 
Its name is first established in what I believe was the second of Darth_Angelus' RPR fan films, so long ago now that the original site design is still visible in it:

Epic stuff in store. Congrats on the update, RPR!
Also kudos to whoever drew the enthusiastic orange-haired RPRer. Their expression is great.
