Not done by a long shot, but Oasis represents the Far East Coast of Alterra. It is where the high-level content is located.
We'll continue to update the game, add content and systems, but the land will be what we call Alterra-Complete.

This update got me and a few old friends back playing in AO3, even if its for a few good hours. Good structure and concept of teamwork required to finish. Nostalgic feeling of the good co-op days..
This game is not just about earning millions of gold for self-benefit or boasting how rich/powerful/pro you are, be it in game or forums. If you play PL because of this only, then you have ultimately failed.
If you are bored, perhaps you should invest time in helping out new players to bring up the community. I am pretty sure thousands of players who tried this game quit cause they do not know how to play/advance. Its a good thing end game items are cheap, so its easily affordable by new lower level players, who may now have the motivation to play their way up to wear the few level 50 high-end pinks in their inventory.

Refried & Lesrider,
Is this your first MMO? I've played with the two of you and you are both good players, but this is just the way MMOs are. It has happened to WoW on a larger scale (Casual Player = Money). WoW used to be very hard back when 40 man raids just came out, up until AQ40 where less than 5% got to see NAXX 40 and AQ40 end bosses. Cthun was the hardest boss I have ever fought. We wiped for so many hours. It was so hard when we first started, it was literally impossible! lol. But if you ask people who play WoW, not many have played that fight because there was no chance that a casual player could ever get there. So the devs made WoW easy and till today, many years later, they are still making bank. At one time, gold in WoW was hard to make and epic mounts were special, but now gold is worth almost nothing because it is so easy to obtain. Pocket Legends is is a good, short instance, mini MMO. It is for the casual player. Just like you, I have more gold than I can spend on PL, but this is how every MMO becomes after a while. If the devs wanted to make a game for endgame players they wouldn't make any money.
Campaigns will continue to raise the level cap. Oasis and end-game systems signify a completion to the land, but the game will never stop evolving.
Same exact thing like this happened to La Tale and Maplestory (which is more similar to PL than WoW, because they're free to play, but to go further you need to pay cash).
The formula for success in any MMO is to attract a new player and turn them from a casual gamer to a more serious gamer through incentives, which include things that make the game easier or things that you pay money for. I wouldn't be surprised if Platinum became more and more important later on.

Maplestory gained a ton of money through their cubing (cough gambling) system...It would be something the devs could look into for more revenue.
Spend real cash to buy something to "upgrade" current equips -> Item has a chance to lower the stats on equip, keep it the same, or increase it
Then we become slaves to Platinum
