It seems that they really hasn't intended fore AAs to feature initially, only a level increase. There was a big outcry about a level increase and most instead wanted AAs, as they have a greater meaning. I could be wrong. But if the next expansion doesn't increase the level cap and only expand (MUCH) further via the AA system, life could again be breathed back into EQ2.
That said, there are many other things for them to overcome. Such as a failed and flawed progression system that RoK started with and SoH ignored. Class issues, poor raid design, etc.

Damn, I must not be normal, cause It was fun to me doing all those quests, great way to explore the zones progressively, gear yourself, raise your faction, unlock the sokokar, it felt very smooth and very rewarding.
Giving me something to do even if I had less than an hour to play or 4 + hours
Also the instances are pretty nice and rewarding without requiring 3 hours or trash cleaning ala SoH.
The only problem I see is that they make the T2 too "hard" in comparison to the others tier, blocking a lot of people early and not leaving them room to gear themself.
If they had been blocked at T3, that would have been better.
And to the people who don't like rok and answer "I have been playing for 3+ years", I am sorry, but I think there won't be any expansion that will please you anyway. You are just "burnt out" and biased, consciously or not and you are probably 10 times harder to satisfy that customers who started the game recently or came back after a long break like I did. (I left before DoF and came back end of EoF).
That's like being married for 10+ years, whatever your wife will do, she ll never be as pretty to you as she was on your first year :D
