Aion was nice but I didn't see any dungeons/instance type place that made EQ so awesome. Maybe in the newer versions of Aion there is more content... more places to kill stuff. But for now I can't get my husband to want to play it

Remember the elite troll templte out in hinterlands? when you needed a full group to get Hexx?
Well in the lvl10-20 zones for both races is a similar type of thing each having about three or four named bosses you can take down.
And when you reach the 20-30 zones for both factions, there is again even more of this type of thing.
The 20-30 zone is also going to be your first experience with rift raiders, other players from the enemy faction invading your factions lands via rifts in space.
Finally when you reach about 28-30 you do some attunement for the Fire Temple, which is (i think) your first instanced dungeon.
After that there is yet another area 30-45 with some more dungeons and rift raiding.
But also, ever since you hit 25, there is the abyss. Think a/v but the size of a continent and with a cpu controlled third faction that serves to balance the tide.
As I understand it so far, when either faction begins to control one or more fortresses in the abyss, a Dreadgion (i think its called) emerges from null-space.
