There is one interesting point here, at least. Looking back on it, the amount of time spent from Kunark to Velious seems especially short.

I mean, it always seems like Kunark had much more content. But, 51-60 was a serious grind, and since the majority of the new zones were built for leveling Iksar from the ground up, the few remaining progression leveling areas (KC/Chardok/HS/Sebilis) got boring way before 60.

But the real question is: would there be enough raid content to keep everyone going for a while? I guess that depends on how hard VP will be at this point.

I would say that epics alone will be a HUGE time sink (think of how many clerics there are per guild, for example and that's one of the easier epics). In addition to that there are other long quest chains in Kunark that are worth doing, each raid will have to be done like 50 times by each guild in an attempt to gear up all their mains. Oh, and then there will be tons of faction work going on as well, not only for the Kunark cities and towns but also for the epics themselves in some cases.

(I for one plan on being able to waltz right into to Cabalis any time I want WITHOUT an illusion. And I will accomplish that goal!)

How much time all this will take is anybody's guess. If there are 1-2 more raid guilds competing for raid/epic mobs then that will certainly slow things down a bit. I am choosing not to worry about it, the game becomes less fun when thoughts about deadlines enter into the equation.

I will level to 60 on my main, then spend my time between working on an Iksar necro from 1-60 or helping out my guild with raids and epics. I'll probably skip my own epic like I did on Live simply because I don't have that kind of time to dedicate to a game much less a single in game item.

I have no idea why I just wrote all that.... I should not be stuck at work on President's Day.
