I recently had the opportunity to beta test and take a press tour of some of the new areas in the upcoming expansion Prophecy of Ro. While I wasn't able to play as much as I would have liked to, I did get to run around and see a lot of new content and I must say I am truly excited by the level of quality Sony is putting out. I've always said that MMOs have a bad habit of ignoring the new player experience in favor of trying to keep their older, higher level players by adding high end content. While Sony hasn't put in a bunch of new low level content areas, they have done something I wouldn't have expected in an effort to make the new player experience more enjoyable and visually pleasing. With Prophecy of Ro, the devs have completely revised the Desert of Ro and the city of Freeport. We're talking near EQ 2 quality graphics here. They've revised the terrain so that it is more natural, updated textures to a much higher quality, added effects such as radial brush, and improved many monster models.
