What happens when the old live content runs out?

[wos]

Can we rebalance classes? Yes.
Can we change the RvR system? Yes

This is all RoR needs.

not for me i need a brake from rvr to go and do some other thing the game haze like pq/dungions or tome unlocks

Next step is obviously having 3 factions, with Dark Elves + High Elves joining (happened in End Times). They would claim one keep in every RvR lake, with their own vendors and flight master, and all three factions would fight for the remaining keep.

yes ples put toons in to 3 faction

I'm able to write new content into mythic archives, its only matter time until someone writes a world editor and new zones, gear, abilities are added.

Here I added new SC based on existing zone.

Spoiler:

Give this man a job

I'm pretty sure he has already one or two.

Currently, we have no patching system, so we have no way to distribute new art assets to clients, or change existing assets. We also cannot access/change the client code. Even though it's just a glorified renderer and asset database, any changes we make are limited by being required to work with the client as it existed in 1.4.8. This prevents us from doing some things, like optimizing code.

Can we rebalance classes? Yes.
Can we create "hard mode" dungeons? Yes
Can we create new quests? Yes
Can we create new public quests? Yes
Can we create new live events? Yes
Can we change the RvR system? Yes
Can we change the way different scenarios are played? Yes
Can we change the location of RvR lakes in a zone? Maybe
Can we change how city fights work? Maybe
Can we add new content? I would be very painful (for you).
Can we add the Dwarf/Greenskin cities? Never. (The assets are not in the client)

Adding new content would require that we...

1. Unpack the art MYP archives
2. Design and add the new assets. Pray that the client can render them without issue. I don't know how we would do either.
3. Update the client's internal asset DB
4. Repackage the new MYP archives
5. Require every player to re-download the updated client.

6. Deal with angry Games Workshop and their bloodthirsty lawyers

As far as I remember, the main argument against adding new content was that changing the client files would violate the copyright rules and unleash the wrath of GW on the server.
Maybe something changed since then, idk

Once old live content runs out the only things left to do are:

1) Commiting 99% to making an interesting RvR system
2) Use the 1% left to balance factions/classes

In PvP games, players are the content. With a good RvR system you can enjoy this game for very, very long.

But the devs have already added new content with events and quests

[Azarael]

That doesn't require changing the client...

@Answer
It wasnt released. Its dwarf capital. All capitals except Empire and Chaos never been released.

[Bozzax]

Has been no "real" new content since 2008 so why worry?

There is a whole huge LoTD in the 1.4.8 client - you can make a thousand of new dungeons, few rvr fields, etc, etc.

please no LOTD was a disaster dont add lotd unless its just tyrants for appearance gear

Why is that? Jewelry + cape was OK and everyone who put minimum effort for Lotd RvR could get them.
Tyrant gear was adequal to Warlord gear so no game breaking issue here neighter.
"Tyrant" weapons was adequal to RvR ones and (maybe) worster than sovereign ones. Also no issue here.
Absorb pockets also purchasable for everyone who spent few runs in SMALL tombs.

The issue was undefendable pockets, talisman procs, bugged OP talismans in general was the issue.

Except those 2 mentioned I dont see any game breaking issue, but a lot of PvE fun with skelletons, mumies and other Lotd NPCs same as big place to RvR for zone dominance and world boss Colosus kill attempt at the end
