As long as they give us plenty of time to wear Velious thin, I don't mind in the least if they eventually proceed into the next expansions. A time will come when we're sick of Velious, probably two or three years after the content has first been cleared, and then it'll be a choice between continuing the server despite its initial intentions or letting it die. We're already getting to the point where most people who missed the classic experience and were ever likely to care about an emu server have already played here. Sooner or later we'll stop getting new players at any meaningful rate while more and more players will quit once they've had their fill. If this server is stuck at Velious in 2015, it'll be with a skeleton playerbase. Who honestly wants to play Velious for several years? Most of you will have finished playing here by then, in which case you shouldn't care either way, but further expansions might get you to come back just to see if it's fun again. The game wasn't entirely shit until after PoP, and Luclin/PoP does have some excellent raid content.
