Maybe so, but Everquest expansions will come out once every 6 months until they change that policy.
... actually they are coming out every three months or so it seems.

I also would just assume not see a level increase. In fact Id just assume not see any more expansions for a long while. Since that stupid DOD came out getting a decent group together is more of a chore then ever.
... as much as I agree with you you and I are destined to lose this fight. What is keeping eq servers on right now is hardcore raiding guilds not casual players who have already left for oteher games. The hardcore guild tend to chew through content rather quickly and thus need new expansions.
As far as the DoDH nerfs I think most players applaud this. Getting no risk xp that mis better then RSS is ridiculous. Even woth the nerfs the xp is still comparable to MPG. Also I am glad they modified the missions to make them a little more difficult. Watching people get 30aa a day with little effort was kind of rough.

I find it interesting so many people act like im a idiot for not liking the nerfs. But go to zones like West Commons and you see NOBODY doing that Griffon mission anymore
... I dont think you are an idiot. In fact you make a good point that now the main selling point of the latest expansion is rotting. Thye only MM i see people doing now is the faery mission. Sony was in a tough spot, make the xp uber and everyone flocks there and the content rot problem gets even worse or nerf it and watch the highend players go back to rss etc.
As far as new classes and races I think this would be a good idea. One of the few things SOE has done well in recent expansions is added quality features. The content they have added absolutely blows but people will buy new expansion for the features. New races and classes will fight eq fatigue and encourage the evergrowing end game population to try something new.
I know adding a race or class brings up balance issues but remember 2 things. #1 when zerkers came out people said that it would kill the monk class and it clearly hasnt. #2 Who cares eq classes are horribly unbalanced as it is.
After dodh took eq a step closer to WoW I must say I am somewhat wary of a new expansion.
