I have literally played thousands of hands of WoW cards and I have never run into one of these all gold decks I hear about. I don't even know why someone would do that. Why not d/e them for that sweet, sweet dust?

Some men just want to watch the world burn.

In gold.

Even if this server did get another expansion, have fun seeing it in 6-7 years.

The devs should do Luclin and Custom pop w/o the bazaar and nexus. They could actually fix all the crappy bugs in both expacs and make use of the zones SOE intended to, while keeping in AAs and more tradeskill items etc. etc. etc. To me, it seems that is the only way to go if they intend to keep the project going, because after a while ( say 3 months) most people will be super bored with velious.

Are you going to dedicate your time to do all the coding for nothing?

You underestimate the nature of this monster. Do a forum search on the archives. Do you realize the *same* people have been anticipating and discussing Velious for 4 years?

And they waited. And if Velious was released in 2016, they still would have waited.

I would be happy if they did some of the itemization and bug fixes to Velious that occurred in early Luclin. Blade of Carnage wouldn't suck (not that I'll ever see one), and a number of unpolished and buggy quests would actually work correctly (Field Supplies for one, along with the Coldain 8th Shawl Quest). Everyone is well aware that Velious wasn't fully finished by the time Luclin came out, due to SOE rushing things. Seems a shame to follow that same path which was clearly not intended.

While I did have fun with Luclin itself back in the day, I can understand why they're stopping at Velious. Luclin was a start of EQ going in a very different direction.

EDIT: While looking for sources to cite for Velious development, I found this old trailer for Velious. Definitely neat for its time.
