I don't think anyone knows for sure except the devs (and maybe not even them), but we do know:
- It's not Luclin
- It probably will involve new zones (there's been a lot of talk about them)
- It probably won't use Luclin zones (a dev awhile back said it was easier to just make brand new zones than to adapt existing ones)
- AA abilities might be a part of it, but if so they won't be XP grind-based; instead they'll be something like an epic quest you can complete to gain a single specific AA ability (I forget who said this, but some dev did at some point)
- It probably will involve new items, new recipes, new NPCs and quests in existing zones, etc. (the devs have never said this, but all those things are a lot easier to add than entire new zones, so it stands to reason)
- for more ideas of what it might include check out Sirken's stream (I hear he's been spitballing lots of custom content ideas lately)

Will this be GM events + earthquakes, or permanent content additions? Will this be only on blue or the Wild West as well?

Definitely permanent content additions: custom content would come from the dev team after they've finished coding classic EQ (and then presumably have free time on their hands), but the dev team finishing will not free up any more GM time.
I would imagine the content will be applied to Red too, since in the many years this project has been going the devs have (stubbornly?) continued to treat Red as an equal to Blue (at least in many ways, maybe not so much in terms of GM support).
But then again, no one has talked about a "Green Red" ("Recycle Red") server being released, and a big part of the impetus behind custom content being released on Blue is "well now that we have the perfectly classic Green server, what's the point of (not classic) Blue? Custom content!"
So perhaps the devs will keep Red as the "classic PvP" server, or perhaps they'll reset Red and make it the new "Green Red" server (but not leave the old Red behind). In either of those cases Red likely wouldn't get custom content. Again, no one knows for sure.
