So what's there to do in Velious anyway?

[Flamewraith]

All I ever hear is this big hype for Velious, and I can see why considering current content might be stale for those that have been here from the beginning, but what's so special about velious anyway? I came into eq right at the launch of Luclin, so all the knowledge I have of velious are a couple of zones that I hunted in for a level or two. To my knowledge it doesn't add any levels.... If that's the case what is Velious other than a gear hunt?
