MS was not this bad with revamps until Big Bang, but even before then there really wasn't that much content. I stopped playing before Pirates and Cygnus was added, and I came back to only like 5 new islands/areas and some new classes when Big Bang started. I didn't really miss all that much for like 3-4 years of inactivity.
It's sad, because with some actual work they really could have done some great stuff with this game.
It sure changed the game...for all the wrong reasons. As an explorer at heart I'm disappointed with the lack of areas to go to and I'd also love to see each town have more unique features like the towns in some RPGs. Another thing I'd really love is actual raid-style areas with heavy penalties on the classes to limit potential and DoT to prevent AFK-ing, where you'd have to rush through a lot of monsters to get to the boss of the area (It'd have specific weaknesses so you COULD try to solo/duo but it'd be much easier to take down in a party). And don't even get me started on the Heroes who really should have more storyline, it is pineappling ridiculous that my Phantom can mention Arkarium in his story and acts like an amnesiac when doing the Silent Crusade!
