The abyss is only one plane out of many full of intelligent and unintelligent life ripe for dialogue, combat, whatever. Adventuring entails a little bit of both. Plus Higher lvl authorities on those planes could make for interesting quests, new allies and enemies.
ie. Send a paladin and his/her party to destroy a demon lord(Not a pit fiend. The real deal!) bent on ruling on the prime material(earth) plane as well...
anyway having been a dungeonmaster and player for awhile on paper I've expirienced fun and challenging high lvl AD&D and look forward to it emulated in the virtual enviroment.
