Least exciting expansion announcement in history

I'm sorry, I was really hoping to be pumped this year. Are they even trying at this point?

There are new zones, and a level increase. That's progress.
I am cautiously optimistic.

It sounds like new lore instead of recycling the same zones so that's a +1 from me.

This is the producers letter, the expansion announcement is on the 10th when pre-orders open up same as last year.

I totally disagree, this sounds like one of the biggest in ages.
Class swapping? So you can level up multiple classes on the same character? You keep your flags and tradeskills?
Swap druid to port somewhere, switch enchanter to give your group clarity/haste, then switch to a good class like mage to fight?

On top of this, its not X zones revisited again. Its brand new lore and zones. This is what we want! Honestly, can't imagine what the OP was hoping for. Revisting gates of discord (we get 5 levels, mobs get 10)? I'm excited

I wouldn't bank on it being new lore, Laurion is mentioned in Planes of Power lore, as living below Coirnav

Agreed. This whole swapping personas sounds interesting. I do have one question: Will we be able to move from ship to ship with it?

A full nautical expansion including cannons and boarding parties would be outstanding.

I'm not sure what some people want if they don't consider the last expansions as having new lore because a lot of extremely consequential things happened.

I'm not sure what the final state of the world of EQ is like after the new Kunark and Velious expansions but the repercussions are huge. Unless I missed something, the Combine empire is back, Velious is probably reeling in recovery, Luclin loudly and officially welcomed the Vah Shir as belonging on her moon and invited Loda Kai to fight in her name, Jakarashev's shenanigans are likely far from over (it's implied all copies of him in the event were in fact illusions), the spirits the Vah Shir "lost" are free (unless I am mixing up the lore), and I'm sure a bunch of other details I don't know.

I confess I have no understanding of the consequences of TBL but it's probably important.

Edit:
Oh yeah, we ended up helping Mayong maintain his demigod status, again.

Maybe you dain playing EverQuest?

Seriously, hein. I am STOKED for next expansion. You should be, too.

You have gotten better at Trolling (1).

The good news is now all your Personas can use this skill.

I have not read the word stoked in a long time. Anyway, I am weird in that I like level increases. I just like leveling. Also, this persona thing intrigues me.

Personas smells like Final Fantasy "Job system" to me.

I'm psyched that you were happy to see "stoked"

(c'mon old guys, keep this going!)

I will be very keen to see any replies.

Could be rad, could be bogus.

Totally tubular, man.

What exactly were you hoping to see?

Only 1 zone is a clear reuse this time from first glance, so that should be nice too

Which would be amazing.
