Perhaps it was done, but you were not done gearing all your players in that amount of time. People were still needing stuff from aow, tunare, ntov, and other places when luclin released. Same with luclin and pop.

If they did release AA, at least you would have time to complete it. I couldn't ever keep up on live, they were pumping shit down our throats so fast. I gave up after pop. lol

We can agree to disagree ya?? I thought AA's were a shit addition. I was 60 damn it! i was done fucking grinding, I could just hang out and raid and help who needed it. Whats this? AA? Noooooooo! They changed my beloved models and gave me more xp to grind I was so angry! Aside from that i really enjoyed the content.

Edit: I would be fine even today with EQ if they stopped using levels as a carrot to chase. Just leave it alone and release new xpacs. The benefit of being max level is, you can just enjoy the content and dont have enourmos amounts of xp grinding facing you down. I was a working adult then and I am still a working adult today. I cursed EQ for a lot of years cause of the xp carrot and the try hard graphical up dates.

Agreed. While a small part of the population were excited about the new expansions, many such as I seemed to dread it. For anyone other than straight-up basement dwellers (hell, even I was too in my youth), it was nearly impossible to keep up with the content. And just when you started to catch up a little, another expansion, and another, and another. More Levels, more AA's, more constant grinding.

While I would not oppose custom content in the future, it needs to be kept at the same levels. No higher level caps, and no AA's. I do like the idea of other added things too such as raidchat, a working LFG engine, and hell, throw in the soulbinders! Is it Classic? No...but are definitely useful little tools that weren't game-breaking by any means.
