Introduce AAs but with no Luclin?

[Duckforceone]

abilities like area taunt for warriors... not really overpowered, just a really nice ability to have on hand....

paladins ability to sacrifice their life for healing someone else....

Personally I don't see how any system once activated can remain if it stagnates at any point.

Eventually everyone will do everything they wanted to do and there won't be enough new people to compensate for those leaving. The server population dwindles and dies. Adding new content is the only way to stave this off.

If people want the server to continue as viable - we will have AA's, we will have luclin, PoP...the only other option is an eventual sever population in the double or single digits and who would maintain a server with that population?

They should be introduced with the Custom Content, IMO.

Something better.. is my philosophy.

Slay undead for example was a great, class-specific ... AA? Weak. It could be something like an epic quest with the same outcome. Mindlessly grinding a level 51 equivalent experience bar is not what I have in mind :T

If Velious quests were 'tweaked' it would take people longer to solve them, and would reduce the speed they are ripped through. I love the idea of new quests to gain those AA-type abilities.

Except psychologically almost no one would do that. People invest themselves in their characters and to start over would (to most people) be an overwhelming negative which would cause them to not play. Also by the time this is suggested a lot of players would already be lost due to not having much else to do.
