How is Luclin pronounced?

[t0lkien]

In group today the question was asked, and no-one had a definitive answer.

[Gadwen]

Looslin not Lucklin

Like Lucid, or Lucy. You don't pronounce it Luckid or Lucky.

At least thats how I see it.

My uncle was at E3 the year after Luclin was launched, he worked for Acclaim before they were run out of the business for making such shitty games. He asked an EQ Dev and they said that nobody fucking knows. In-house they used Look-lin, Loose-lin, and Luck-lin.

True Story.

Look-lin is the Scottish rendering.

Game, set, match

[Tobras]

in general the soft c only occurs before i, e or y, except in certain words like "arcing". or sometimes before oe or ae in greek words like caesar (mmmm.....)

to me the only debate is in the pronunciation of the u

Luck-lin.

Consequently, how can there be an incorrect pronunciation of a made up word when we have real words with different pronunciations?

Toe-may-to, Toe-mah-to. Both are correct.
Oh and forgot the southern pronunciation, 'mater.
