I would be more than happy to see 'new zone' written as 'revamped old zone'. I guess I didn't make that clear enough when I praised the Faultline and RWZ revamps, which were superb.

With all the heroside hazard zones being pretty much barren wastelands, this would, IMO, be a great way to recycle old content while at the same time giving us new stuff. Perez, Boomtown, TV, DA, Crey's and Eden are interesting places which I have only visited at all in the past 2 years to get the new exploration badges. I would especially love to see some sort of revamp that differentiated the industrial wastelands of Crey's, Boom and Terra Volta from one another. There's only so much copy-pasta rubble you can wade through before you're sick of the stuff.

My gut feeling however is that any 'new' zones we're going to see in the near future will be set in Praetoria. That's wide open for new 20-30, then 30-40, then 40-50 content.

With all the additions to the 20-30 bracket on Primal Earth, I think it might be more likely that there'll still be a gap between the 1-20 Praetorian content and any newer higher level Praetorian contet - keeping the requirement to escape to Primal Earth at 20, and then return to Praetoria at say, 35, would save them having to rewrite or remove the Praetorian exit content.

Definitely no new city zones. A revamp of Boomtown as previously discussed in the art threads would be cool, as would a facelift of places like Steel and Sky to make them more closely resemble actual cities. If new zones are added, they ought to be way-cool, like the long-rumored space station and moon zone.

I'd like to see some of the enemy groups mentioned in the original trailer show up, because they sounded intriguing.

That makes a lot of sense. They don't seem interested in making Preatorians a separate third faction so they'd need to keep the "go to primal Earth at 20" bit in place but adding content for levels 30+ as either returning Preatorians or Primal Earth heroes coming to help out would make a lot of sense.
