Sounds like a few features in console games are being incorporated into these expansions.
- Climb walls: Splinter Cell or SOCOM comes to mind.
- Moveable objects: Baulders Gate comes to mind.
- Scalable level of monsters sounds exactly like Lost Dungeons of Norath for EQ1.

Personally, I am enjoying the many zones and still have lots to explore. I seem to get 4-5 blasted quests everytime I log in! :) (Yea, I know it's called EVERquest) But since I still have many zones to explore, so I won't be going to DoF anytime soon. I may get the Splitpaw Saga since it's scalable solo content. Can't ever loot too much dog spit (canine saliva).

I find that the content is out-pacing my adventuring, and that's a good thing. I don't really want to reach the glass-ceiling of content and become board. On the other hand, there is so much content I feel I have to get to it all.
Curse you, blasted full quest journal! :) I learned in EQ1 that I don't have to buy all the expansions. Especially the ones that I will never reach.

The cost for the expansion is about normal. After a few years they are grouped together and given at a discount.

The cost for the adventure pack seems to have gone up. Wasn't the last one $5? Now the Splitpaw Saga is $8. Will the next expansion be $12? Slow changes are easier to inflict thatn large drastic changes.

Hey Sony, your links to DoF and SS dot com show "coming soon" pages.
