I liked a couple things about Luclin... mainly the new weapon models (I'm always a sucker for more shiny stabby smashies) and I enjoyed the cat-folk well enough.... I even like a couple of the models, namely the elves. But I play Iksar primarily and their awful model was the start of the dislikes.

A lot of the models have piss-poor copy/pasted animation and very muddied-down cultural armor designs... I know I can turn off certain models, but it's the principle of the thing. Honestly one of my biggest problems with it were the introduction of scaling weapons and minimum levels on gear (something I have always hated)... if you have the scratch to buy cool shit, you should be able to enjoy it however you like! And my other big problem is the Bazaar....

You know what classic EQ has that no other modern game including EQlive has? A living, breathing, open market with a soul. Every piece of gear I have obtained from EC has been a fun haggle give and take, and a couple have even lead to adventures to fetch things or the like.... an Auction House/Bazaar completely destroys this personal charm, this face-to-face socializing... I remember most people I have sold to and recognize them in passing and grouping... cant say I could do that in later games.

Short answer? No, keep Luclin out of P1999, especially because there are other servers that feature them.
