 Everquest - The Ruins of Kunark
Besides providing a new race, a new continent, new creatures, thousands of new items and improved graphics, Kunark also allows players to build their characters up to level 60, and the addition of enormous new zones and more wandering monsters does a lot to alleviate the camping problem.
Some of the zones are insanely dangerous, and even players in the high 40s have found it impossible to retrieve their corpses from the hairier zones.
The polygon count is much higher, so Kunark doesn’t look nearly as sharp and blocky as many of the original EQ zones.

In terms of the game, The Ruins of Kunark had a very different visual feel compared to the original zones in EverQuest: the color palette was more vibrant and many of the models used for the monsters were more detailed.
The Kunark expansion also increased the maximum level a character could attain from 50 to 60, and introduced a substantial number of new and powerful monsters for characters above level 50 to fight.
The Ruins of Kunark was also the focus of 'epic quests', or quests for powerful weapons for each character class, which were introduced between the Kunark and Velious expansions as a source of further high-end content.

 Review - Everquest : Ruins Of Kunark // PC /// Eurogamer
The "Ruins Of Kunark" expansion pack was released to stem the tide of bored players that were leaving the game, and it seemed to do the trick.
Compare this to zones such as Lesser Faydark and Nektulous Forest on the old northern continent, which showed the graphic artists to be suffering from something of a burnout, with the same landscape used throughout, scant scenery, and an overall lack of imagination.
Noticeable slowdowns are present in almost all of the Kunark zones that I have explored.
