It isn't just to hold back content.. it's just that the eras are followed on a progression project like this.
I understand the progression concept. P99 blue finished it's progression 8 and a half years ago. I would wager that a large portion of those playing now started playing after the progression had already ended.

You want Vah Shir to be coded to start in Qeynos or something? Iksar to pop out of Grobb just because?
No. It's not about what I want. It was a discussion on releasing all content at once instead of waiting until 2026 for the release of PoP.

I personally don't think that would bother me that much, but it is completely silly. I do know that Maze made a project a few years ago where Kunark was going to come out in 3 months or whatever, so no one wanted to reroll immediately so he allowed Iksar to come out of Grobb and it worked out fine, I don't think anyone minded that much. But it's just part of classic eq, these races didn't exist yet.
I wasn't advocating for changing any of the content.

It's even more complicated talking about Beastlords. There's no spell vendors or anything set up for that, not to mention balance. They come out in Luclin, you gotta wait.
Right. And my question basically was: What is gained by arbitrarily holding back content vs just releasing it all?
