Again virtually every mmo expansion "derails original content" they all stack off each other, one step at a time. AA's give a reason to play your main character if you aren't a person that likes to make tons of alts. As one of those people I loved AA's because it felt like I could continue to play my main while making meaningful progress.
Personally I think the "not classic" argument is a cop out. There's to many things to list about this project that aren't classic. Regardless of whether they're trying to recreate a "classic" feel or not. I define "Classic" everquest as launch to PoP. Other people define it other ways.
All I know is that we're 6 years into velious and we have one of if not the most toxic raid scene in the servers history with precious little content to go around for raid guilds. Launching some form of Luclin would add a TON of new raid content which would trickle down to a lot of smaller guilds getting to experience raid content that currently don't have that opportunity and would likely revitalize the blue population.
