Found this while browsing some forums and blogs about games. Apparently it came out of SOE's Fan Faire this weekend and a lot of people are excited about it. I am not sure what to make
of it but I know many love EQ and thought I would post it. As someone who really got into the original EQ and did enjoy , this is something I might try just for fun.

New Expansion Details, New "Progression" server opening.
Wow, do I have some interesting news. I droned on a lot this morning so I'll cut into some of the more interesting stuff right away.
There will soon be a "not a classic server" server. This server will begin with only the original game unlocked at first.
As groups or guilds defeat certain triggered encounters, new expansions
will become unlocked. It will be a no-transfer server so everyone is starting off at the beginning of the game.
All the new non-expansion features will be there like chat channels,
LFG, and new UIs, but features such as Plane of Knowledge won't be active until that expansion is unlocked.
All of those who have screamed on the forums for months about a"classic server" will now get their chance to put their money
where their mouth is. It sounds pretty interesting and SOE is expecting it to be popular. With some core
features removed that we take for granted these days like the Guild Lobby, Nexus, Knowledge, Bazaar, and LDON Magi, it will be interesting to see how much old-world people are willing to take.
