An interview with Ryan "Blackguard" Shwayder on EQ2: Desert of Flames can be found at TenTonHammer:
TTH: With regards to expansions, various MMOs have been criticized for catering too heavily to the high-level game while failing to keep the low-level game fresh and compelling for newcomers. While "Desert of Flames" is primarily geared to level 45-60 players, could you comment on what's in store for lower-level players in this expansion?

Ryan "Blackguard" Shwayder: Players of all levels will be able to participate in Arena Champions, our scenario-based PvP system that is part of Desert of Flames. All players in guilds will have access to guild vaults, which are a feature of Desert of Flames but will be accessible even to those without the expansion.

Not all of our expansions and adventure packs have been or will be catered only to high level players. Take the Splitpaw Saga, for example, which scales in difficulty between levels 20 and 50. The Bloodline Chronicles, our first adventure pack, was geared toward levels 30-45 (which you might consider the mid levels).

In future expansions, you will likely see focus on more broad level ranges mixed in there, at least with some features as we've done with Arena Champions.
