I wouldn't mind seeing some of the Planes redone. But, don't forget about Luclin!! Ssra Temple, Seru, VT, plus all kinds of other zones to choose from. It's way to early for an official word on what direction the new expansion takes though. We won't hear anything until Summer has ended and it could be a couple months after that.
For those who participated on beta I believe there was a little glimpse at the new expansions theme... Under currency tab there were two new currencies Ifrit and Djinni coins.. looked like placeholders for group/raid currency Let the discussion begin.
The new map for Kunark still has empty space on it, there could be a revamp of Karnor's and LOIO or reuse HH Seb.
Since no one else has said it yet: There is no new expansion. This is the end of EQ. If they were really making an expansion they'd have said it by now. Etc, etc.
More Kunark plz or switch to SoV for 3 years. Then you can end EQ for real and at least it'll end on the best expansion.
Veksar has had plenty of time to be rebuilt and raised out of the Lake of Ill Omen. I'm sure some evil necromancer out there can gain control over the undead spirits found within and bring Garudon back to life once again, stronger than ever.
