I really only have one concern with the expansion, and that is that it
is an optional expansion. This mean that there will be people I am
playing with that don't have it, right? Now what does this mean? I am
pretty certain that Verant spoke about adding new creatures, and
possibly races, and who knows what else (spells, items). All of this on
top of the more than likely two new continents. How is this going to
affect the gameplay? What if I, playing with the expansion pack, and
partied with someone without?
I guess there really isn't an issue as long as the expansion doesn't
add new races. All of the new zones, creatures, etc could be kept to
the new continents. But what about the boat to get there? Would someone
without the expansion not see it? Would they be magically barred from
entering it? I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that it
will all work great when it comes out, but these are questions that I
will have nonetheless until then.

Whoa. Ease up there Gabriel. Take a look at how many years it takes
to develop a game like this. Of course they are working on an
expansion. Otherwise, LONG after the current bugs are fixed people
would be complaining there were no MAJOR updates cuz the expansion
would still be a year down the road. Just because they are looking
ahead and planning expansions to the game doesn't mean they have
stopped working on the current issues, they are announcing fixes to
existing problems every week on EQ vault and EQ Stratics.
Let's stop complaining about everything under the sun and give Verant
some credit for designing the most awesome online game to ever come
along.
