Man Luclin era was the first xpac that gave so much to casuals; raiders and general input in the game.
1. Focus Items.
2. AAs
3. Tradeskills
4. Amazing Quests 1 group quests
5. SSRA Temple was a fucking blast
In all Luclin was a great linear xpac.
PoP wasnt too bad either but I had dipped outta eq around that time.
Also:
What alot of people didnt realize what happened during the Luclin era the top 1-2 guilds focused hard on ssra/vt which meant lotta the classic/kunark mobs got left alone meaning all the small/middle sized guild had a chance to gear up epics,haste items etc. I dont know about blue99 if this would happen coz people tend to be clinically insane on these emulator servers when it comes to raiding. But if they released Luclin on this server it would br hugr for the pop and growth of the game.
Iirc its approx 300aas to get in luclin era?
What was that neck bit from Runneye called? I think it got mana prev 2 put on it which gave like 15% mana prev on spells up till level 40. Some shitty 3 int 3 wis neck item became one of the most farmed items ever lol.
All those extended buff focus' etc really made for extra depth on characters. At the end of PoP iirc you could get cleric buffs for up to 3+hrs in PoK and kei for like 2.5 hrs which made leveling amazing in the game.
Classic era was great fun, but Luclin+PoP really developed the game.
Also inbefore raiding sucked....most people didnt raid back in the day. Like 10-15% of a server raided. Was a huge culture of casuals/farmers/questers and adventures. For alot of people raiding was what hardcores did.
