do the staff even care about p99 at this point anymore? they seem completely mia

I have several things in progress with p99 code, I need to wrap them up.

People have other hobbies too.

But as far as after Velious, it had been made very clear, Luclin is not coming. Any custom content has not been started either.

Next you can expect either a Discord server or a Recycled server starting from the beginning maybe. But no Luclin.

AA without luclin?

TBH I'm ok with you recycling R99 and I'm sure most of the Red players are too. (despite a vocal minority consisting of about 10 people from <Empire> and maybe 3 people from <Friends> and 2 people from <Casual Scum> (who will get over their withdrawel symptoms and play on the recycled box anyway because they really have nothing else left to them, so you don't have to worry about pulling the plug on them)

for someone who has such nostalgic memories of luclin, you don't remember it very well

manaburn did 2 points of unresistable damage to the target for every 1 point of mana the wizard had

so if you had 16k mana worth of manaburn wizards you could kill anything in kunark

you are correct that it was no good against velious raid mobs, but getting 16k mana worth of wizards is not that difficult and does not require BiS gear by any stretch. worse comes to worse you get slightly more wizards in rags. go to town with your kunark hit squad. it's why it was nerfed.

I'll humor you and pull up a BIS Luclin wizard later and investigate your claim.

Right now I think you are overselling it, more than myself underselling it.

if you think I am overselling it you weren't there for the hit squads, simple as that.

was directed more @ the project manager who seems ostensibly to be MIA and not care very much

see: discord
see: teams pvp

I understand that coding on velious is still something that happens.

Personally, as someone who enjoyed Luclin & PoP, the server is kinda dead for me because I did what there is to do in Velious 30 times over now. I love Disney, but there's only so many times you can go on space mountain in a row. Kind of the same thing.

here's hoping for a p2002 that doesn't suck.

wizards, with a s. that makes it plural. 16k mana across 6 wizards is easy.

They paid the cost to be the boss. You reduce it down so it takes a full squad of at least 5-6 wizards. Problem is then solved and balanced. Is it meta? No.

No different than a 6-man BIS Luclin group can kill ALL the Dragons, VS, etc.. Is a full group of wizards tank/heal/dps meta? No its not. However, its balanced compared to what a full group can do.

Old expansions are farm status as a function of gameplay due to mudflation. EQ is mudflation. Look at Velious BIS versus Kunark.

He was overselling it. Period.

Thanks for the update and clarification that has to be said by a dev and not the plebs saying the same thing hundreds of times over.

No offense but Haynar is not the project manager. So it will need to be said again by nilbog and to a lesser extent, Rogean.

Sorry to disappoint you re: your so-called clarification. He is a senior dev, yes, and his cooperation on any future Luclin 99 project is certainly very valuable, but I didn't see him quote nilbog or claim to speak for him in his post.
