Anyways, lets not go there. That is another whole topic on it's own.

Taemek, I went to your site and saw you are looking forward to EQ Next now. Trust me, with your kind of approach to gaming you will be bored of EQ Next and consider it "garbage" in less than a month. Once, content lasted a year because people, instead of rushing like mad thru everything, took the time to explore and look at the scenery, to role play, to chat, to help other players, to just goof around with friends and guildies etc. Now, if they developed double the content it would simply mean that players would play twice the hours a week. :P

On top of this they had raids that could 10 times longer than they do now but do to health concerns and players complaining about length of time. If anything its somewhat our fault for wanting stuff quicker faster. The content itself still takes the same amount of time to create companies now are just making it that much easier to finish.

Lies, content lasted so long because it was actually difficult at some points. Now mmorpgs are trending to be a CoD brand. Put the fact the games actually had difficulty aside, the whole concept of mmos was fresh still which lengthen any new games life. Like honestly I have flash backs of EQ/Runescape early XI and i'm like wtf was I thinking. What mmos are lacking now is innovation.

At this point it is the choose SE make, do they want to keep their 600k subscribers or they want to run a small mmo, my guess would be anyone who play around 6 hours a week will now have 1 character coil ready, turn 1 to turn 4 will takes about 3-10 hours to crack depend on how good your groups are turn 5 will be 1-4 weeks down the line depend how hard you want to push it, so majority of player would reach the end of coil by the time 2.1. Releasing sub top end content will do little to keep the majority happy.
It is probably too late now but they have to make the choose of either invest to make the dev team bigger, so more content to keep players playing or keep the investment small and hope there are enough player stick around to turn a profit on this game.

Rightly or wrongly player will expect more consider your turn over is move than 6million a month on this game and even just 5% of that should be enough to fund an other team to work on contents.
