re: PoK travel. As I mentioned to Bum last night, I thought it might be interesting for an emu to try a modified version of PoP where you can use the books to travel from locations around Norrath to PoK (and from there to the other PoP planes) but when you left PoK to return to Norrath you were always returned to the same location that you left. If you leave Qeynos to travel to the planes, you return to Qeynos when you leave the planes. If you want to go to Velious, you would have to travel across the world or pay a Druid/Wizard to transport you. From Velious you might travel to PoK from the Great Divide to join your guild or friends in the Planes, but this time when you returned you'd go back to the Great Divide, not Qeynos. Thus PoK isn't a subway for all of Norrath, but it can still be a meeting place and a jumping off point for just the PoP expansion.
With the large group of dedicated fans of EQ on this server, I'm sure we can come up with solutions to most of the things that annoyed us about how Sony advanced EQ, while retaining the things we agree worked. That said, it would not be "classic", and I can respect the fact that there are going to be people that won't agree with even those solutions. Ultimately Rogean, Nilbog and the other developers will have to decide what to do when the time comes. I will support whatever their decision is at that time.
