Rob and I have decided to change things up a bit. We have discussed making each expansion releasable when complete with no population requirements for progression. When an expansion is completed and tested to our liking we will release it in it's entirety. We won't release any expansion in parts, its all at once type thing to keep the nature of balance and original feel intact. The only exception so far was the planes. This being said, as a final hoorah there will be only one progression based release prior to PoP. As a celebration to reach the goals of the server to get to PoP we will be determining a number of targets in Luclin that will need a cooperative effort among the active population to unlock PoP Tier 1. This is a ways out, so planning for this is not a priority yet. Also PoP will have some population requirements to it in order to unlock pre-EP tiers. The EPs will be the same as any old school EQ server once they all are completed as a whole. We don't plan to just unlock one EP then another etc.. But some of this is way out in development, PoP releases will be revisited as needed. But for now, all expansions prior to PoP will be released once fully finished and thoroughly tested on dev.
