I suggest custom content inspired by EQ classic. Use zone files from other expansion and create dungeons/encounters that are in line with classic feel.
I suggest AA's but not many of them. Perhaps something like 50? Don't make the AA bonuses extreme either, just minor upgrades to give incentive to continue leveling after max level. Bring beast lords/zerkers at some point as well as the vah shir (but call them kerra and make their hometown where kerra ridge is now....nobody uses that dungeon anyways). Make them mortal enemies of the erudite =P.
Make it so the sleeper awakening starts a chain of events leading to a new expansion directly related to his awakening like dragon wars on some island between velious and kunark.
I would like to see the planes in PoP because I think they're in line with EQ story (wouldn't make sense to just stick with fear/hate/sky) Don't make the expansion with the plane of knowledge and such though, but make the planes accessible from wiz ports or special portals spread throughout norrath. Don't dare ever trivialize travel.
