Loved Luclin. Loved PoP, too.
I'm here because I love EverQuest. Loved every era and expansion thru DoN, aside from GoD, and I didn't hate TSS....Wasn't crazy about it, but didn't hate it.
Loved classic. Loved Kunark and Velious. But I loved Luclin also. Ssra is one of my favorite zones in the game. Lower Guk take 3, after actual Lower Guk and OS. But with raid content added and snakes instead of frogs and the cycles were awesome. The itemization was pretty spiffy too. Clickys anyone? The spells some classes got were fantastic. You actually started seeing some true balance in classes with Luclin. And BSTs are pretty cool.
And AA is the shit. You can do things for your toon with AA that no gear can. And instead of shitting up the game for legit newbies who want to actually experience content at their level the way it was intended with 10,000 level 10 epiced rogues in funghis like we have here on p99, people at max level have something to do....At their own level.
In case you couldn't tell, no, I don't subscribe to the notion that classic thru velious was this pristine holy experience and everything after was complete shit. Don't get me wrong, I love the classic era and missed it for a long time. But that's largely nostalgia. EQ, in all of it's eras, has always been amazing. I've kind of been itching to go back to live for a while, even tho it's been like 5 or 6 years.
Sorry the pok books ruined being able to sell ports in EC to people. Bigger fish to fry.
Bring on Luclin. And bring on PoP, too. And I say that as someone who started the game April 99 and had 90 days /played on his main when it hit it's first birthday.
