It's good to see that new content will be added for higher levels in the next update. However, some existing quests and missions (for example, Escort for Hire and Magian Trials 7, 517, and 896 [Hovering Hotpot] make use of these areas). I hope that care will be taken to make sure that the difficulty of these quests and missions is not unduly affected by the changes that are being made.
Those areas, collectively, are involved in a LOT of quests, everything from AF to RSE to genkai. I hope that the developers will keep all of that in mind and not make quests that could formerly be done at Lv 40 now require Lv 90+ help to complete.
Also, when adjusting Ranguemont Pass, please remember that low to mid level characters have to get through it in order to reach the Vahzl telepoint, the good farming areas for Ancient Papyrus, the NMs for genkai 2, etc. So at least one path to Beaucedine should be kept clear of monsters that would be unreasonably high level for those characters.
However, in general, I see no problem with this sort of thing if it is done carefully. It worked well for KRT years ago. The adjustment to Ro'Maeve seems to have largely gone unused, but at least didn't damage anything.
P.S. I wonder if this is intended to introduce non-Abyssea exp camps, including GoV, for levels up to 95? I doubt very many people would want to use them instead of Dominion Ops, but it would be nice to have the option. (I'm not much of a fan of the Dominion Ops playstyle, but nobody can deny its effectiveness in exp/hr terms.) Solo-oriented jobs would particularly benefit.
