Id also like to see a new zone that connects the Oasis to South Karana... but lets make it level 55+ and extremely dangerous to walk through, like if you are not capable of killing a bunch of level 55 mobs then you are not going to be able to make it through this canyon/dungeon... make it like a long ass level 55+ Crushbone but with the desert orcs! with quests to rescue slaves! Maybe tie it into splitpaw, like they are either alllies or enemies!

Maybe make it as difficult as hate or fear or something.

You mean like LDoN's Rujarkian Hills and Everquest 2's Desert Of Flames zone Clefts Of Rujark?

I mean if it's an overland zone plus an additional dungeon zone branched off of it sure, but I see no reason to connect it to South Karana unless there is a decently safe passage for characters 15-35 can pass through. I do like the idea of something connecting to SK though, because if there is any part of the game that I feel is the most underdeveloped zones in the original game, it was the Karanas. They're way too large and mob placement is too spread out on top of the very ugly texture placement it has compared to the vastly superior zones on the eastern side of the continent. This might encourage people to go out of their way to zones.

Map based on proportion. I truly don't understand why these zones are so god damn huge when they really shouldn't be. I get this feeling that during development, these were some of the very first overland zones they made before they realize they're idiotically huge before they made overland zones 3x smaller throughout the rest. If it were up to me, I would cut down their size to the same size as places like Commonlands and Desert of Ro ect, make it so the textures look a lot crisper compared to Commonlands, place a city/town south of Qeynos which would be Highborne (from EQOA's lore as a small Erudite town) and have it connect directly to South Karana through a mountain pass or something. West Antonica always needed dire love
