as much as I enjoyed playing Diablo, EQ (as a MMO) is inherently superior game. To me this is primary because Diablo has a determined ending, while EQ doesn't. And thanks to expansions, you can keep advancing your character further and further. (yeah some people don't like certain expansions due to changes in Vision, but that's a separate issue)
Thats entire point of char-development game for me.
What Op is proposing is essential turn EQ into Diablo, and keeps rolling "classic" over and over until you bleed from your ears.
Yes there are games that I enjoy re-playing from start - but those usually the game which use random seed which make different game every time you play - Master of Orion, HOMM etc.
But taking perfectly good open end MMO and turning into into loop-cycling Diablo clone is such a tremendous downgrade for entire genre.
