The suspense is over. Here is the press release I just received from SOE regarding the new expansion:
The Planes of Power
 The launch of EverQuest® in March 1999 changed the world of massively multiplayer online gaming forever. Since then we have brought you a new playable race of lizard men called the Iksar in EverQuest: The Ruins of Kunark™, ancient enemies and new adventures on the frozen continent of Velious in EverQuest: The Scars of Velious™, and a completely graphically overhauled world, the enchanting moonscape of Luclin, mounts, and a new playable race of noble cat people, the Vah Shir, in EverQuest: The Shadows of Luclin™. Now players will soon be able to access the most powerful deities in all of Norrath. We are pleased to announce the next installment in the best-selling, critically acclaimed EverQuest series, EverQuest: The Planes of Power™. An arcing storyline takes players on an epic adventure through the Planes of Power, home of the Gods of Norrath. Veteran players will face new challenges in each of the 18 newly discovered planes. Players of all levels will benefit from the Plane of Knowledge that hosts scores of new quests and opens portals to Norrath making travel easier than ever. Hundreds of new items, quests and encounters will keep even the most revered players challenged and enthralled. Battle the minions of Rallos Zek in the Plane of War; help Karana regain control of the Plane of Storms; overcome vile pestilence in the Plane of Disease! You're in their worlds now!

    I think instead of making all of these new zones they should make the zones that are supposed to be in the old world and the other expansions that where never made. They should finish what they started before making a new expansion. The more expansions the more zones that where supposed to be in the game but not put in. m

    Y'know, there is a slight problem with this. With all of the new hardware that they obviously have, I don't know if people would want a new zone like for the one original elf city next to oasis or something. They'd have to go through a lot of hassle to make the graphics concurrent with people in the old world that can only lay the old world. And I think that once they finish a world, they rarely add new zones, unless it is like planes. Not sure though, I would have to do my homework on the whole subject and story of Norrath a lil more in depth to get a sure argument going. Just a lil copper for my thoughts. :D
