Solo gone wild vs Legit

I agree and disagree. I agree let people bulldoze content. Heck in diablo 2 people got good enough to hit the rough softcap of lvl 87 in a day or so. They were just skilled. That didn't stop them from having fun with the character for years or just make more alts. If the game is FUN then people will keep playing regardless how quick they beat the game. Heck I bet most people who play eq now 18 years later have still yet to seriously try half of the classes! So the key should be to focus on the fun. Now yes you should keep things fresh but not by zoneflation. The reason I never came back to eq after 1999 was because all the old zones I loved were abandoned. Diablo 2 did a great job of creating divergent content; like fury visor and warshrikes and death's web and other items that let you play a class in vastly different ways and were very exciting to make an alt and level them solely to use that item. So you don't have to screw up the game like sony did to keep things fresh and fun.

You're not REALLY disagreeing with me

New content does not always mean new zones. Just something new for the players to work on.

Unfortunately most players who cry about new content DO mean "new zones", "new stuff that didn't exist in EQ live" instead of, "There are literally hundreds of quests I've never done" or "I've never played XYZ class, maybe I'll do that!"

I'm playing through Crescent Reach and the surrounding zones because I've never been there before. It's neat. The quests are super minimal, so I'm going to implement them as I go along (unless work interrupts, which it probably will, but it's still a goal!)
