This sounds like a H&S mud, and IMO this is a big problem with H&S muds. If the staff don't continue to include more skills, areas and quests then it gets boring for experienced players. But if they add in new stuff TOO often then it just starts to feel like YAA (yet-another-area) and gets boring.

A way to keep the mud fresh is to have player conflict, which is how RP-muds manage to keep their muds fresh without constantly adding new stuff. If the mud doesn't allow PKing at the lower levels, then allow it at the higher levels and let the players create clans and have wars over territory. That would allow for a lot of conflict and allow for new roles to be created and new tactics to be thought up to win. You don't need to RP it out, but if everyone is at the same level then you have to think carefully on how to win.
