What Expansions Would You Dump or Include?
 

I would go with the following:

INCLUDE The Ruins of Kunark
INCLUDE The Scars of Velious
DUMP The Shadows of Luclin
DUMP The Planes of Power
INCLUDE The Legacy of Ykesha (Minus the Invasion of Grobb, so the version when frogloks start in Rathe Mtns)
INCLUDE Lost Dungeons of Norrath (Scaled to run from levels 20 through 60)
DUMP Gates of Discord
DUMP Omens of War
DUMP Dragons of Norrath
DUMP Depths of Darkhollow
DUMP Prophecy of Ro
DUMP The Serpent's Spine
DUMP The Buried Sea
DUMP Secrets of Faydwer
DUMP Seeds of Destruction
DUMP Underfoot
DUMP House of Thule
DUMP Veil of Alaris
DUMP Rain of Fear
DUMP Call of the Forsaken
DUMP The Darkened Sea
DUMP The Broken Mirror
DUMP Empires of Kunark
DUMP Ring of Scale
DUMP The Burning Lands
DUMP Torment of Velious

I would release them in this order:

The Ruins of Kunark
The Scars of Velious
Lost Dungeons of Norrath
The Legacy of Ykesha

That way the level cap would be raised to 65 at the very end, and transportation would mainly be limited to classic style options such as Wizard/Druid ports, boats, and running on foot. Drogmor mounts would become available at the very end of the expansion curve, and the Lost Dungeons of Norrath zones would scale up to 65 for adventurers as needed.

Adding two additional expansions to the expansion curve would extend the lifetime of the game, and breathe some new life into old servers at least for a while. And the odious Planes of Power and Shadows of Luclin expansions could be avoided entirely.

HARD INCLUDE for Planes of Power

Hard to say this qualifies as a RnF.

PoP as long as no PoK.

Gates of Discord was a solid expansion except that you had to be fully raid geared to really experience any of it.

+1 for Legacy and Lost Dungeons

Kunark but iksars are kos

INCLUDE Luclin but it's actually inside a hollow Norrath

That actually wouldn't be bad. Sort of like Shadows of Luclin but without the Nexus teleporters wouldn't be too terrible.

All of the expansions are fun when you're in em. The game itself kinda falls apart, the old world falls apart. so on and so on. but theyre all fun in their own way.

That really would have made a lot more sense ...

Wasn’t the Luclin expansion originally supposed to be an invasion of the shadowed men and have something to do with the Sol Ro temple?

Also PoP with no PoK gets my vote.

Through PoP with following changes:

No bazaar
No cats
No beastlord
No PoK books
No Paludal(sp) Caverns
No armor dyes
No character model changes

I liked AAs and tradeskill improvements--especially earring of solstice quest/collab.
