Haven’t seen any mention of a new starter area (and given that we got Swanfleet/Cardolan in Before the Shadow as an alternative starter area, I think it’s probably unlikely we’d get another new one so soon) - but you never know!

They ARE teasing a new River Hobbits-themed housing area, though.

Mostly, I’m hoping those hairstyles might be available to Shire Hobbits at some point. They look awesome!

This is worth it for the universal toolkit alone!

I’d read it as a new race, just as with the stout-axe dwarves. But I could be wrong!

I’ve found this one really useful as well, especially if you’re looking to get your 10 daily quests done as efficiently as possible:

You have to use Blood Arrow first - on hit, Blood Arrow has a 33-100% chance to trigger Exsanguinate. You’ll see a separate little window pop up when it’s been triggered, which you can click on to use it, though you can also use it via the skill bar when it’s active.

I think FibroJedi’s guides definitely deserve a spot here (I know you linked the Midsummer one separately, but if this is going to be a central post for useful links…)
