It wouldn't get old for me but the game is certainly less time consuming to max out in classic world.

Classic is the game they intended to make and Kunark is what they had to make to give crack addicts more to do.

Making 90% of old world content obsolete is sad and hurts the real progression of the game because with kunark you can get weapons for like 100pp that are twice as good as OG end game weapons.

Class balance and basically everything is better in classic.

A way better progression would have been to fill in the old world with quests slowly overtime to make the world richer. There are a lot of incomplete quests and NPCs that don't quite do anything. These things could add content and progression beyond the original classic without hurting classic class balance and making so much content irrelevant.

Verant didn't do this because people are way less likely to pay for more quests than a new playable race that is OP for 2 classes and about 2x the physical real estate. They just got more bang for the development buck and weren't too worried about the long term consequences. I am sure they would have laughed at the idea of a buncha weirdos playing their 20 year old game right now talking about these decisions.
