Think of it from the devs point of view at the time. We get Norrath with 3 continents.

Then oh look, a lost continent with lizards (that never seem to have roamed/explored outside of there). Kunark!

Then oh look, ANOTHER new continent where it snows all the time. Velious! Lets not bother adding a new playable race or extra levels though. Enjoy!

If they had any sense their next expansion had to mix it up a little bit. Not saying Luclin was perfect but they did need a new playable race and something that wasn't "another new continent".

What would you guys have done differently?
With the way they set up the original purchased expansions versus extra free original content, they probably didn't, at the time, want to just add more zones off existing content and call it a purchasable expansion.

Plane of Fear/Hate/Air and

Sol Ro/Warrens/Stonebrunt/Paineel/Hole/Jaggedpine all free optional downloads

versus

Kunark + Veskar
Velious
Luclin
Planes of Power

Then Legacy of Ykesha and Lost Dungeons came along and all that went away.
