for a non raider the " feel " and autenticety of lore may or may not be more grafted out and visual in kunark (ruins of statues , various mobs more in tune with the history like iksar ghosts etc) this is true, but if you really search for the velious lore in books, various hailing on npcs, you will find that it is just as rich just a tad more circumspect. Quests and events and how the zones interconnect in velious is in my opinion sligthly more " belivable " in velious than in kunark.

For a raider however there is a huge diffrence, going from:
3 indoor (vox naggy, rage)
3 outdoor dragons+ ixi (talen gorie sev)
2 key bosses Trak and VS
4 planar bosses (dracho ct inny and maestro)
And maybe counting royal family of chardok, yael as well
and the bottlenecked VP as sorta the pinacle that most casual raiders never see.

TO IN VELIOUS ....

Pog Tunare and her subbosses.
Mischief ,
Kael and all the nameds in there, including tormax and statue idol and aow,
whoushi, kelorek dar zlandicar, yelinak, sonta, lodizal, ring war, all of ww, the 3 sections of temple of veeshan , faction grinds, more armor quests, more quests overall, tofs, more gear with focus, sleepers tomb, dain , velks, and so on ...
its a TONN more smaller and bigger nameds and things to do. and they are most of the time not as pushovers as kunarks zergables are. bosses in kunark are limited to 32k hp. whilst there are trash in velious that have more.....

AND you can backtrack and do older content in addition to the new in velious, maybe it is time to go for some in vp , or get that trak bp, or vs pants etc etc .
TO sum it up, content is more than trippled, current content is freed up for more and no bottleneck flawed progression like in kunark where a few guilds could block the rest. (you can teoreticallly block others in velious as well, but will need 10 times as much effort and the blocked have plenty of other directions to go anyway)

imo ... win win win ...... cant wait.....
