fuck it, its 2021, might as well start trying to make this box new and weird before the republic collapses. putting a lighter on old kunark/velious farts isnt really going to spice things up the way we hoped it would.

luclin and pop would be cool because they would add new raid content to what is a very top heavy server that could desperately use it.

cats on the moon and bad models though - why would you want to give up silly fat ogres for the chad ogre luclin models?

AA's would also maybe be a nice way to encourage people to continue playing top-level toons, versus having stables full of 60's, but maybe that can get out of hand too.

Personally, I quit EQ back in the day before either luclin or pop, so I've never played either. I think it'd be cool to check it out. I hate the client they use on TAKP though, and greatly prefer an enforced 1-player-per-character ruleset, like on P99, so I'm not overly interested in playing over there.

luclin is bad for the fact that it takes the velious trend of 'progressing armor' further and adds 'talent points' which invevitlby just eventually all get ground out next expansion

EQ's pinacle was Kunark. EQ should stop at kunark. The random nature of the game died in velious when things became enumerated.

Bazaar was the best part of Luclin. EC is a toxic hellscape of flippers and wiki price manipulators. The Bazaar is the hero we need.

And failing some excuse about 3boxing or mousewheel, just wait for them to release the code after PoP.

p99 is the most legit classic server ever made.

p99 has the most dedicated and robust team to pull a classic Luclin/PoP

If anyone can deliver, it's p99

Here we go again, another luclin thread. been done so many times. Lets saves us some time shall we?

This won't solve anything, it would in fact exacerbate existing problems.

No player on p99 nor the content requires players to be more powerful / AA buffed.

What the end game scene on p99 requires is more raid content to spread out over.

Why not take an otherwise useless npc somewhere, buff it to level 75 and combined abilities of other bosses (DT, AE, Cone AE, Silence etc), give it some cool gear and laugh when guilds die

Any AAs, if implemented would be a finite amount. Players would grind the xp, reach their AA cap and then everyone would be back to the original problem.

Like I already said, it would exacerbate the issue, with everyone being AA buffed, it would require less players per raid, pushing guilds even closer together as they can contest more targets, with less people.

Even bigger shit-show on the raid scene.

Theory Debunked on Live. Within a year everyone was bitching about the bazaar and it was known to have a detrimental impact on the game. Everyone missed the Gfay/EC way and that is the majority consensus.

Tunnel questing is a different flavor of EQ and part of what makes it special, and you can choose to have as little or as much put into that aspect as you like. There's plenty of people out there that will buy/sell your items for a small fee, don't act like you must do it personally and spend hours doing it.

There is nothing special about tunnel questing. EC is a blight on the face of Norrath. I played on 3 different servers during my time from late kunark through the beginning of prophecy of ro. No one missed EC, no one was mad the bazaar existed. Everyone was glad they didn't have to waste time in the tunnel and that they could sell their wares at off hours and use game time to actually play the game.

There is nothing good about EC. Nothing.

Just started up on p2002/WFH (now called Wayfarer's Haven), which will go to LDoN (lvl 65 level cap).

People are super nice (see: below)

Every sunday they have Coppermart, where the uber folk on server donate Kunark-thru-Luclin droppables and the GMs sell on a trader for 1cp each. People get in a line and actually wait their turn. Pretty rad.

- Also, the server-wide leveling guild just FINDS you and invites you, and the people are very welcoming.

Problem is I'm currently playing on 4 EQ servers... probably cutting it down to two again, but WFH will definitely be on that shortlist. Come join!

I think the other guy was suggesting he felt EQ went off the rails by trying to copy Warcraft after that game released instead of sticking to its roots? That's how I interpreted it, anyway. That being said I disagree with such an assessment either way; I feel Sony managed to kill its golden goose effectively enough that EQ was doomed as soon as a viable competitor opened up regardless of what EQ did afterwards. After 15+ years a lot of folks forget just how pissed off much of the community was with Sony's extreme greed, near-constant lies, and general incompetence. Heck I didn't even make it that far. I quit EQ for the last time well before Warcraft launched.

I accept manual trading here because it's part of the package, but I don't care for it--it's a case of taking the bad with the good. That being said I don't was nostalgic for the Bazaar either. It was a good idea implemented poorly, not an uncommon outcome for early efforts at an idea. Modern auction houses as found in virtually all of these types of games now are vastly superior. East Commons amounts to spending hobby time in what amounts to a third world slum simulator. There's even a language divide because apparently I can't speak "dudebro stoner speak." Yuck.

I laughed audibly loudly at that, thanks! Yeah, it's no fun. P99 bazaar is basically just the forums anyway. All the crap that you actually want to sell is 10k+, and nobody who can afford that is farting around in EC except Fleamarkit and Blackmarket, and they don't want to buy your wares to USE... just to up-sell.

P99 has the bazaar, it's just not as expedient or easy.

IMO They should create a special mechanic where if every NToV dragon is slain within a 1 hour period a portal spawns in Vulak's Room that is a 1-way portal to Luclin. When entering the portal your bind is reset to the Nexus. All Luclin zones are flagged VP port rules with Luclin portals being exempt.

This way you can leave Classic-Velious and go to Luclin/PoP but never return.

Would love to see the competition on Emperor and Vex Thal.

Modest proposal:

How to have Luclin and not ruin the community aspect of EQ.

- Disable bazaar merchanting
- Disable the 4 nexus ports
- (maybe) remove horses
- (optional) Disable new models. This can be controlled individually by players

Same idea for PoP

- Disable Plane of Knowledge books.

This would mean everyone would still need porters and continue to do manual tunnel quest to sell their goods.

Additionally, the bazaar PVP increases community aspects of EQ. PVP in the bazaar was super fun.

If players do not want to participate in Luclin, they can stay in the Velious and lower zones.

How to have Luclin and not ruin the community aspect of EQ.

- Disable bazaar merchanting
- Disable the 4 nexus ports
- (maybe) remove horses
- (optional) Disable new models. This can be controlled individually by players

Same idea for PoP

- Disable Plane of Knowledge books.

This would mean everyone would still need porters and continue to do manual tunnel quest to sell their goods.

Additionally, the bazaar PVP increases community aspects of EQ. PVP in the bazaar was super fun.

If players do not want to participate in Luclin, they can stay in the Velious and lower zones.

What about just opening up a handful of zones from pop and luclin but otherwise keeping the level cap the same.

Because if Paludal caverns are introduced, you can say goodbye to all other newb zones.

At this point, I'm sure we'd take anything...

Veksar?

Veksar?

Interesting and it fits for the era but who's going to develop it for P1999? Of late developer manhours have looked like a limited commodity.

Cazic Thule revamp is way closer to being in era than Veksar and much more compelling content for max level Blue characters.

Custom content offering a portal to the revamped Cazic Thule after slaying CT in PoFear would be cool for blue. That zone is extremely difficult since nothing is charmable or pacifiable and clerics CH through walls at many camps.

The gear would be extremely desirable and the tradeskills offered from the zone would reward those who actually skilled on P99 when there was little point to do so.

But really, just a release of Luclin+PoP would be superior to any custom content cause those were some of EQ's best expansions. OoW/DoDH/TSS/UF get some honorable mentions.

Only if you slave yourself to the limited notion of re-creating EQ's historic post-velious progression. Free yourself from that needless limitation--we're talking custom content, after all--and Veksar represents another Kunark zone that could be populated and tuned for whatever purpose, without having to sacrifice an existing zone. It even physically looks relatively appropriate for the era, unlike many later-expansion zones that were built and textured using newer technology. P1999 as-is is also fine, but if custom content is ever added it is preferable that it's added in new zones without destroying existing content.

-----------------------------------------------

I like the notion of a one-way character portal to Luclin or beyond, with no return permitted. Doesn't even have to be on the same server for that matter, just arrange something for players to have a one-time copy of their P99 characters to a Luclin/Planes server, at the cost of deleting that character from P99's database. P1999 could use a character sink of that nature.

Sounds great to me! I loved that zone after revamp.

Another piece of content that needs to come to P99 blue is the Shawl 8 Quest.

It would provide a decent mini-raid event for players. Provide solid use for leveling tradeskills and obtaining the Shawl 7. Plus it would provide an opportunity for players to spawn a Dain Frostreaver for their guild once by doing Shawls 1-7.

Would be a great change to the BiS shoulder slot for all casters/priests.

I was not a huge fan of Luclin, but I really liked POP. The new zones and raid content made playing a lot of fun. Without AA's there is no reason to grind past 60 and the raid scene on blue was so toxic that it was best to just stay away.

I would join a raid capable guild and give a monthly donation to have PoP here on any server. But I know that it will never happen.

The real question is, how many hours would it take to make this happen? Someone with some knowledge on the digital aspect paint this picture for us, and then we can visualize how much this would actually cost in donations to implement.
