There's also:
"Second, the leveling experience will be completely redone. The level squish is part of it, and will help the theme of a new beginning."
That's a boatload of work.
I mean, if you scale down the proposal to "keep the zones, update the visuals a little, redo the quests" this will get smaller and maybe you can scale it down enough so that it is no longer scary. But what's in the first post is big.
