I think a fresh perspective is always nice, but the wording of this worries me a little bit. Please, do not try to make AO more WoW-like in content releases (where every 6 months a new wave of content comes out that makes all previous tiers completely obsolete). Anyone who likes that model is already playing WoW instead of AO. You won't win over players by trying to compete with WoW's model; instead, just stick to what has made AO have one of the most loyal fanbases of any MMO. The game is obviously in need of updates, but please just make sure that updates don't render old content useless or lower levels pointless.
Also, thanks for all of your work, Ilaliya. Sad to see you go.
