You’ve reached level 20. You’ve obtained a True Druidic Heart of Wood. Now you’re ready to undergo True Reincarnation!
Speak with me, Kruz the reincarnation trainer, to begin the True Reincarnation process. I can be found in the House Jorasco enclave atop the garden at Coldwake pond (look for the green leaf symbol on your map that says “reincarnation trainer”). I will guide you through the process, explaining what will happen to you. Important things to note include:
You will begin again at level 1, and it will take more experience to increase your levels.
All of your personal inventory and bank inventory will be placed in a Reincarnation Cache. To access the cache you must visit a banker.
You will retain no favor, quest progress, raid flags, level sigils, tome bonuses, exclusive hair changes, or per-character favor rewards/favor vendors. You will, however, retain your mail, auctions, server-wide, and account-wide features.
Veteran status is not compatible with True Reincarnation. All characters that are True Reincarnated begin at level 1.
Congratulations! By True Reincarnating, you have chosen to purge your weaker form to make room for a new, better you! You’ll be taken to the character creation screen, where you may customize your character by selecting your race, class, abilities, feats, and skills. This time however, you’ll have more ability points to spend, and you’ll get some additional benefits from undergoing True Reincarnation.

From a level 20 adventurer build (28 point) halfling monk... through character customation... into a level 1 hero build (34 point) warforged barbarian!
Extra Ability Points
Perhaps you’d like to be even stronger than you were in your previous life, or more dexterous. The choice is yours!
All characters who True Reincarnate are given additional ability points to spend at character creation, as well as new enhancement options. If you are an Adventurer build (28 point character), you will receive 6 additional ability points. If you are a Drow, or Champion build (32 point character), you’ll receive 2 additional ability points. The maximum number of additional ability points you can gain from True Reincarnating multiple times is the Legend build (36 point character, 32 for Drow).
Remember that in your new life, you will not be able to follow a path. Characters who have undergone True Reincarnation must be fully customized.
New Choices
You may have a new life, but there are some memories of your past life that carry over, giving you an additional choice of unique feats known as the Past Life Feats. You’ll gain access to a past life feat related to whatever your primary class was in your previous life.
Example: If you were a multiclass character who had levels of both bard and rogue, but mostly bard, your True Reincarnated character will have access to the bardic past life feats.
At level one you gain access to the basic past life class feat. This feat has passive effects and can include things like extra hit points, increased saves, and more benefits depending on what class you used to be. At level 3, you may select an additional past life feat instead of your standard feat choices (you must meet the prerequisites to select the past life feat). These optional past life feats have both an active and passive effect related to your former class.

Special Characteristics
Not only do you gain access to new feat types and extra ability points, but you also gain special stature features, such as
Increased height
A special reincarnation symbol on your character name
A glowing aura any time you appear in a public space
Younger, weaker adventurers still learning the ropes of the game can look to you and be inspired towards such greatness one day!
---------------
Pretty neat, solved a few issues..
1) Turning 28 pointers to 32 (34 now) pointers once you got 1750
2) Keeping all your hard earned bound to character/account loot
3) Added new content! Works well especially with Epic difficulty being phased in.
They did write "new enhancement options" up there, but I'm pretty positive there's no new enhancements.
