My uncle was at E3 the year after Luclin was launched, he worked for Acclaim before they were run out of the business for making such shitty games. He asked an EQ Dev and they said that nobody fucking knows. In-house they used Look-lin, Loose-lin, and Luck-lin.
True Story.

i believe this story.
the moon being called "luclin" was a part of everquest lore before the expansion came out. i can't find a solid date for when the Luclin server opened, but by looking at a few old Zam pages i have confirmed that it was open as early as February 2001. (9 months before SoL's release)
IMO once the expansion came out and it became a more common word, SOE adopted the "grammatically correct"/double-consonant pronunciation in order to seem brainy-er? or something. there are some WEIRD words that don't follow typical grammar rules, though, and i feel that Luclin should have been one of them. LUnar LUCid.... Luclin. flows off the tongue way better with a soft C sound.
