Luclin also did bring to the table a lot of "spiritually classic" content. The "newbie" armor quests for all classes come to mind. In classic EQ, at least with Kunark, the Iksar are practically the only race with newbie armor quests. In Luclin, all races received them, the dark elf cleric armor quests comes to mind.

Likewise, Luclin also brought about the idea of craftsmen needing other craftsmen, strengthening the crafting economy. The bazaar was actually a great idea, but was implemented poorly. They should have moved the bazaar to the EC Tunnel and disabled "AFK" Trading.

You could argue that battling aliens is not classic, but aliens and sci-fi were long a part of EQ history before Luclin, Rodcet Nife anyone?

Let's also not forget how Luclin also made great enhancements to the class system like Ranged Damage for Rangers and the Beastlord class.

Luclin was not without it's bad points to, namely The Nexus which trivialized the size of the EQ world, while the avatars looked good: new combat animations sucked & all the armor looked the same, The Bazaar (see above), mounts just destroyed the balance of being a caster (sitting/medding while casting), you "needed" AA's to be remotely successful in the end game.

All in all, if the devs were to add custom content, they should really consider the above "spiritually classic" ideas Luclin brought to the table, to recap:

1. Newbie armor quests for all races/classes
2. Make rangers be rangers with ranged DPS
3. Craftsman interdependence.
4. A bazaar relocated to the EC with no AFK Trading.
5. The Beastlord Class
6. The Vashir race, but place them on Kerra Isle or a custom Island.
