I guess we'll have to agree to disagree... I don't know the history of Xinderoth when it was new but I guess it was horrible because I really disliked it when I went through the "erased" version
. Since I don't know the original version, I'm not sure how close my suggestion is but were the Xindy mobs mega hard? When I did it, I just remembered the mobs being far and few in between with a ridiculous quest arc and that wasn't what I was asking for although I guess that would be cool too even though I absolutely hated Xindy.
BG works hard and creates new content... we fly through it in minutes with some folks not even looking at the critters (I always do and I have noticed repeating art but it's all good). It's unsustainable. Let's try a few God levels and see what happens. If there is an outcry, adjust... EOC'rs always had it harder than everyone else so why not? What would be your long sighted suggestion on this?
I'm unsure why xindy was unpopular. AzUK was the first through it, as he was the only 400+ at the time. I believe the biggest hurdle was all the walking between beginning and end, and more often than not, people would either underlevel on 399 beasties or xp gain through it. I actually enjoyed the questline, but I'm borderline insane anyways, and I had xp gained through it whilst on an extended retirement period and so was +500 at the time. I've been told karthak will drive me crazy, but looking at the quest details I believe that the costs for all that inventing will be the major deterrent for me. I don't see that as a challenge, merely a nuisance. I will follow my Finnish friend's advice, underlevel through, and go back someday when I have gold and time to burn....
I will likely never reach the end of the rainbow here. I commend those that have, and I hope that somehow hoof and the gang find a way to give you guys some meat to continue your journey. imho, the major malfunction is that you CAN breeze through the new stuff as it's added, which of course leaves you hanging with nothing better to do than a tiny DQ that disappoints you as well....
Personally, I think "God Levels" may be just the thing to spark new life into the game for those that have gone before..... Not sure how it would work, but BG is a smart cookie, he'll figure it out somehow, won't he?
