What form will EQ2's next expansion take?

[RuadhTheRed]

We know SOE has trademarked a name for the next expansion and that title sparks a whole slew of ideas of the direction EQ2 is headed.

Oooohh.. I so enjoy articles of speculation! Now its only a matter of weeks before the first person screams "You <b>promised</b> us Shadowmen as a new race! Where are they?!"o/ for months of entertainment!!! XD

I hear from a very reliable source the next set of mounts will be War Unicorns with 75% run speed. They will have rainbow trails as you run, and have feather fall too!

Exp05 - Tradeskillers unite and take over Norrath, enslaving adventurers to their will!  All instanced dungeons and raid zones to be converted to tradeskill dungeons and bazaar areas!  All adventure classes to be stripped naked, forced to hand over all their equipment for transmuting, and sent out to harvest full time for the benefit of the city tradeskillers!  All epic weapons converted into cool looking furniture items, all armored horses to have their armor transmuted, retired horses to be pastured out on Gazer isle to provide fertilizer for more xegonberries!  Wargs to be confined in cage farms in order to collect their drool, which will once again be usable as a provisioning component!  Flying carpets confiscated and made into house items!  Er ... wait, I've said too much already ... viva la revolution ... *flees*<i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">/me crawls under her desk to hide from the wrath of Froech</span></i>

<p>I think the grazing horses should be put on Bixie Isle.  Higher volume of xegonberry output per square inch there.</p><p><nods></p>

I, for one, welcome our new tradeskilling masters and on behalf of the entire Norrathian population - I devote our every living breath to the service of the glorious Overlord, Domino..  er.. Overlady?

[EomerFarst]

<p>The form it will take is probably level up, get AA's then raid.  In other words the same old story as the other expansions lol.</p>

Oh!  Can I suggest adding quested weapon items that is completely useless unless you've leveled to max.. Oh.. and then make droppable items that make this new content just look weak??.. oh wait, you guys did that in both EOF and ROK..  ([Removed for Content] you Raincaller and Epic Bow!!)

Hm, wasn't there a second moon? If so, could that be casting a shadow.
