I too enjoyed the PoP raids, but those books really diminished the scope of the game.
The devs seemed to completely neglect the old zones once Luclin/PoP came around and it killed that portion of the game

Kunark added a whole separate continent as did Velious, the only reason the classic zones were still used were because they provided enough exp for the new levels in Kunark and Velious. Also, you can't continuously expand zones into (and beyond) the size of West Karana. Traveling becomes even more tedious than it already is.
PoP raiding and the expansion as a whole I consider the pinnacle of EQ. I say this after playing and raiding in all expansions leading up to VoA (a few years old now). TSS and SoF were great as well.
It would be awesome if features from future expansions could be voted upon and implemented after Velious is complete. Such as, most of PoP with the exception of the easy porting (books) everywhere, Luclin without trader mode or set the spire portals to every hour instead of every 15 minutes, Epic 2.0's from OOW, etc
