Once you start with a stock base it becomes woven into the world and seriously hard to remove. I've been modifying the base stock for six years now and it seems to be a never ending battle. Our team has pretty much knocked it down to about 10 heavily revised zones from the stock circle and I applaud their efforts.
There are SOOO many Mu*s out there, I think most players are tired of seeing so much stock over and over again. I do believe though that certain areas should have a "familiar" flavor relating to the original theme so a new player is somewhat comfortable in it.
