Etherion is now made up of hundreds of areas:

Areas can be defeated by killing monsters local to that area.
Once an area is defeated, monsters will no longer spawn in that area.
Only one area can be defeated at a time.
Monsters summoned by environmental changes do not contribute to the area being defeated.
The new UI will show the name of the area, its element, and whether there is a crystal in that area.
If an area contains a crystal shard, a beacon will be sent out after the area is defeated, showing the location of that shard.
You can now summon and unsummon Fey with the B key.
All races now have Blessing of Fey, a passive skill that grants increased health and mana per hit with weapons.
Destroying trees or rocks now restores full health and mana at the cost of corrupting the ground with another element.

Monsters now spawn with a buff of their element giving them extra bleed damage etc..

Instead of getting point each level and putting them into damage crit etc for each spell you now have 5 spellstone slots.
Spell stones can be of any element and give you spell damage from that element. example a water spellstone slotted into a fireball will add water damage on hit equal to the damage of the spellstone.
Monsters are again immune to damage of their own type.
Spellstone can also have an Effect/ this Effect can proc at 10% chance per hit

Items now have a tier color as well as an elemental color.
Drinking potions now slows your movement speed for each potion drank in a small time frame.
Dying will now incur the cost of -20% gold but you can retrieve it from your death location. there is also an indicator for the location making it easier to get back to where you died.
New spell Town portal, summon a crystal to teleport you back to the Crystal town, at the town you can use a crystal to return you to your previous location. this makes buying potions or selling items a lot easier.
To obtain the town portal interact with the respawn crystal to learn.
New INN is located in crystal town, rent a room and get the option to rest until night or the next day. this gives you the ability to skip seasons or do some harvesting.
Monsters no longer spawn at night. The night is a safe time to explore and reclaim unreachable death locations or harvest materials without interruption. The night is short but the duration may be increased in the future.
Levers do not work during the night.
Crystal Town now has airships traveling to all towns
Town vendors will now always sell gear at least a tier above your own this means you can always find relevant gear at a merchant, but the cost of that gear is very high.
Gear and items increase in power as you level so gear dropped by level 10 monsters will be less powerful than level 20 etc...
Monster density and monster respawn had greatly increased.
Health and mana regen has greatly increased
Health and mana regen contributions from gear have been fixed (old characters may need to unequip all gear log out then reequip all gear to have them function properly for old gear)
All spell's base cooldowns have been changed to 1s tornado boulder etc
Staff damage has been doubled
Attack damage has been increased.
Casting spells in short duration now increases the mana cost
There is no longer a cap on summons but mana upkeep for each monster summoned
Summon skeleton health and damage greatly increased
The tutorial has been shortened
The first Crystal is now a chain quest and should be working properly the should help you gather all the shards for the Crystal element.
Flying monsters and airships have been set up but will not be interactive until the next hot fix.
