I officially have a new fear. P99 (IIRC) was supposed to be classic, then Kunark released and Velious is underway...

P99 was never meant to stop at classic/vanilla, there were devs casually working on Kunark/Velious stuff at release. It was always intended to go to Velious.

I liked Luclin and PoP...
There's been talk for quite awhile of doing custom content past Velious. Planes of Power was actually supposed to be after Velious, so I could see them getting rid of Knowledge/Tranquility and connecting those planes to the world. This will probably be done on a new server though, I think the current server is supposed to just stop at Velious.
I really enjoyed the first set of SOE progression servers, even though a lot of people hated the 1 month lockouts between expansions. They were never really meant to be for casual players, it was a way to challenge raid guilds through classic content. Even though a ton of mechanics were changed to make the game much easier than P99 is now, 1 month doesn't give you very long to farm gear. I was one of the best geared players in my guild and I didn't upgrade my Velious shawl until Plane of Time, and I never upgraded my Vulak ring even though I quit mid-GoD. If you took out all the hot zone and out-of-era loot (I was using 3 items from one triggered raid mob in Dreadlands that probably shouldn't have been in the game) you have a raid guild trying to progress in mostly rags which adds a lot of challenge. So, I'd like to see something like that for the 2nd server, although 1 month lockouts probably wouldn't be very popular.
