I could not agree more. Kunark and Velious were brilliant.
Oddly enough, Velious was the last expansion done by Verant. The following expansion, Luclin, was a travesty. Things like faction, etc. were destroyed and the game was turned into a horrible timesink.
While I'd personally like to see the newer zones (at least some of the DoN zones) available to us for use with the emu, I too think it would do more harm than good.
The beauty of the emu is that we can take what we have now and customize it--make it whatever we want it to be. At the same time though, TOO much content means that the overall quality of what we do goes down, because it's just too much for hobbyists like ourselves to handle.
I think focusinig on getting everything working right (including charms, all AAs through OOW, etc.) working, and all classes working fully, would be much better for the emu than to just throw more content at it.
A lot of the zones we do have remain unpopulated in the databases that are out now (which I am so grateful for--the work that has already gone into them is incredible!). That too, probably needs to be addressed. I mean, why throw more empty zones at the emu? I think the databases need to catch up to what we already have.
Once people can play through Omens and everything is tuned, then perhaps the emu might be ready to advance beyond titanium.
I do think though that 0.7.0 is in a sweet spot, and I'd hate to see it get too diluted before the content catches up to where everything is set now client-wise, as it is.
Quests too, so many not done, as well.
IN short, my opinion is freeze it, keep it right where it is, and let's all try to focus on fixing bugs, getting 100% caught up to titanium, and getting all of the content and quests working.
I am the ServerOP for Jest ][ by the way. Our goal is to provide content for every level, with a focus on 1-2 group raiding at the high end. We too are very concerned about ghost town mentalities. We're simply trying to create a server where the rewards ARE great, but yet one that the PL-me-and-gimmie-da-phat-lewtz-now-me-so-leet players aren't interested in.
For people like that, non-legit is the way. I don't want them killing the spirit of my server.

However, think of the analogy that you can do 100 nice things for someone - but that one time you do something wrong, what will they remember you for the most?
