Can't believe we're talking about mooncats for the 8 billionth time in my super important gnome SK thread.
*sigh*
So I'm pretty sure the moon lore had been in the game the entire time, and was likely being tossed around by the devs as a possible expansion from a very early point. If the luclin expansion had not introduced lame mechanics like pvp safe zones, spires ports, horses, and the terrible "updated" graphics, it likely would have been received much better and a classic emulated project would likely include it in its timeline.
Like imagine if the only way to access the moon would be for a wizard to port you to the nexus (where pvp was still enabled), and then once there the other wizard and the druid ports required keys like the Velious ports. And the bazaar as a zone did not exist, and there were no "updated" graphics (vah shir models made in the same style as other classic races).
Don't blame the vah shir for what luclin did to the game. And don't blame the moon as a setting. It was bad mechanics introduced in luclin that doomed the game to mediocrity. If anything the vah shir and beastlords in general were innocent victims of short-sighted developers. They could have been so much more than what they were; but we unfairly lump them in with all the other bad things because at the time they came as a package [You must be logged in to view images.

Only thing I disagree with is the updated graphics bit. Otherwise you just mirrored my entire view.
I was pretty young when eq came out. I was like 11 or 12 when you luclin came out. I grew up with those graphics so I am very partial to them.
Honestly, why hate on the updated graphics? Ogres and trolls arent fat anymore?
