20 Zones of different torture methods for whoever thought that Luclin-Timeskinks were a good idea.
"You thought there was a lot of AA before? Well now we have ensured no matter HOW many mobs you kill, you will NEVER reach any form of 'end' to the game! Not with 5,500 more AA points worth of skills added!
If they do another expansion for EQ 1, I'd be fairly surprised. Can't really add another continent...already done the Moon...tinkered with the planes...
They axed the whole "well we always intended for people to have to travel an hour to cross the continent" when they added the Luclin ports, and further cut down travel time by adding the Plane of Knowledge in PoP.
Epics for all classes? Check. Level cap raised? Check. AAXP out the wazooey? Check. Epic Epics? In the works (if not already implemented). Lots of god avatars to fight? Check.
Not much conceivably left, is there?
That's why I'm iffy about EQ2, as a matter of fact. It's still a medieval "sword and magic" setting. It's got a better class system, granted. And better graphics. And they altered the familiar settings a bit. And in theory you can have guild halls (still very dubious about that one) but really...how has anything changed, fundamentally?
It's not like they're pushing the envelope of the genre. It's not like there's the "capture the artifact" element of DAoC (which has its blessings and curses, far as my opinion stands). Graphics are better...but eh...EQ2 strikes me more as "EQ the way we meant it to be the first go around, but couldn't do it at the time due to technological and creative constraints".
I imagine you'll see a wave of people flood over to EQ like they did with AC. And AO. And DAoC. A lot of them will sluice back to EQ, though. It's a tried and true friend that still has a lot of life left. EQ2 will have to last until they shut down the EQ servers, which far as I can tell isn't planned for a good long time yet.
If they do release another expansion for EQ Prime, though, I would guess they'd follow the established pattern. Could possibly expect another race of some variety. That's the way it was before. EQ, Kunark (adding the Iksar, and a levelling locale add-on), Velious (levelling add on), Luclin (adding another race, the Vah Shir, and levelling locale add-on), PoP (levelling add on). So it'd have to be another race. Whoopee.

Aren't there globes that show another continent on Norrath? And they can allways add new planes. (Plane of Love, anyone?)
Or, they could take all the "dead" zonelines, and make an expansion that fills them in. I know there's two such zone lines in Stoneburnt, one in the Warrens, one in Shadeweaver, and one under the Lake of Ill Omen. I know there's more in other places as well.
As far as new races go, they've got some good options there too. Gnolls would be a good choice, but I would love to see Fae Drakes as a playable race too. ("Hit me again, candy ass!") They could be from the new continent, or from an add-on zone. Or, they could forget about a new race, and make a new class instead.
I think EQ prime is going to have at least one more expansion before it's done.
Rodcet is one that is missing. Luclin, Tarew.. a few more I can't think of, just woke up. Hehe.

For one, he's not really a god. He's just some guy no one really likes, but doesn't really hate. He's just some guy who managed to escape the Plane of Justice.
Should've said something, but I've said it enough

Rather waste some time with you...
I joke! I kid!

They're going to have one more expansion just as Savannah hits level 64, and it will raise the cap to 70 just so I can hear her whine about needing to level even MORE.I joke! I kid!
That wasn't even funny. lol...I was sooo sad!! PoP was released on like the SAME day I got 59...

This will be revealed as people solve one of the subplots in PoP. As far as I've gotten, he's been captured and I'm supposed to go to plane of x and y for leads.
