I would really like to see an expansion or set of booster content , whatever, that is more of the 'classic style' of AO's look and feel
In my mind I see AO with two sort of content branches
Classic AO style ,
foremans (biomare) dungeon ,
the subway,
smugglers den,
Tarasque + camelot
Otacutes (mercs) and the other EFP raids (fiery soldier / obediency enforcer/ notum soldier / diamondine soldier) ,
The one,
the pest,
the trash king,
Supply master Eel and Fredrickson,
the dust brigade (nitrox/kronillis /vivyan) also Inside the machine and the dust brigade in the mantis hive in perpetual wastelands, even the LOX dust brigade feels like classic AO
I think the unicorn guards and the Alien playfields of sector13/28/35 still have a pretty classic AO feel
Notum wars and the towers
I think that the dreadloch bosses (clan/omni camps) , the mechs and lost eden were a logical step in the classic AO world as well
I also feel like pandemonium feels like the classic AO art direction, a very extreme version but it still feels like the same universe to me
weird style / new universe
most of shadowlands
the "xan " race in LOX
temple of the three winds and the inner sanctum, maybe its all the implied magic? they just dont seem like they belong
phazefront vehicles
the alien invasion player cities
alien invasion in general, the aliens are so shiny and kind of retro ,
some images might help
old style ao?

Alien invasion style

this is a rendering, the lights in the city look better in this than they do in game i think, maybe that will change when the new graphics engine is out
personally I think it would be great if it turned out more like this, and not any specifics, but the overall darker, grittier scifi rather than the sort of polished over 'retro scifi' look that alien invasion feels like to me.

I guess in summary I want to see AO get a some content that looks and feels a little darker and grittier. Thats one of the reasons why I like AO, its not a soft edged like world of warcraft /everquest / toontown style
go go grittier content!
