I know this wont ever happen for several reasons including legal ones but since this is the thread for speculation, I would like to see p99 end by releasing luclin zones. No AAs or beastlords, cat race optional. Just the zone and quest content.
Why do I think this is a good idea? Kunark came out early in EQ lifespan, velious was only six months after that and then luclin a year later. On this server, there was years and years of kunark which resulted in players who were much much stronger relative to where they were when velious originally dropped. If you release luclin as normal, this will occur again after the initial feeding frenzy. Releasing luclin zones without the AAs to balance it would result in some zones/encounters being nearly impossible and would give the most geared and organized guilds some encounters that actually would be challenging for them well into the future.
This game needs real bosses, dangerous zones, and nearly unkillable mobs to maintain a certain je ne sais quoi and my proposal achieves that.

I agree with the content inclusion, but disagree with the AA exclusion. The mechanics introduced in Luclin helped significantly in balancing out some classes and giving them the tools to be a real asset to groups. If we are going to go so far as to provide the content, the balancing mechanics should also be included to allow everyone to enjoy that content on the class of their choice, not just the current meta.
