The "revamped zones"

[Dhrystone]

So we all know that the Serpent's Spine expansion was an ambitious attempt to reinvent EQ to be competitive as opposed to a beloved niche game. As a part of that effort a number of the classic old zones were redesigned with updated graphics.

These are the only versions of these older zones on Live now, and if you go there they are ghost zones with almost no one in them unless someone is questing something from somewhere else.

The revamped zones weren't well received by the players at the time and they don't get much love now either.

I've been exploring these zones from the PEQ database and it seems to me they are a valuable resource for a possible server.

What do you all think? Would it be worth it to repopulate those zones with new content? Or are the new revised zones so disliked no one would want to play in them?

What about a server that was the opposite of classic; one that repopulated all the "new graphics" style zones with new content and rearranged them into a revised version of Norrath without any of the "old graphics classic" zones included? (it's pretty jarring to zone from one style to another.)

Curious to your thoughts.
