Maiden's Eye and Umbral Plains drops had no level restriction and were often left to rot, and it was very easy to get a level 1 to these zones. Stuff like Divine Inspiration, Stone Visor and Goranga Spiked Club could be looted by alts or passersby, after a while. I remember people running twinks to pick up Rumblecrush rots and things like Knotted Knuckles.

So it wasn't just the power of the items, it was about how accessible they were. I don't think any of this was game-breaking, but it got the ball rolling a bit too fast.

I think this server needs VP loot trivialized so people can focus on playing the game rather than hoarding pixels.

Luclin would do great for the community. People could either pick luclin weapons or epics.

All the arguments I see are +raider hate for luclin. EQ was never really a raiding game for me... sure I raided. But it wasn't the primary focus for me for a long time.

Lore wise its more or less fine.

Lastly there is stuff for end game poopsockers to do in luclin that blows any of that junk from umbral or ME away. Seru himself. Those that opt out of that, can still enjoy 3 expansions with reasonably powerful but not OP gear. With the munchkins hanging in umbral it will leave places like MM more empty for legit players to go group in. Rather than deal with farmers.

Pushing all the farmers into luclin would be a super good thing.

I have no problem with the sci fi theme of Luclin, but they took it too far. EVERYTHING was bizarre. There were mutants, vampires, multi colored alien dudes, akhevans, grimlings, thought horrors, giant worms, sun worshippers, cavemen, communists (seru), and nazgul, and the only races they bothered to tie into the plot (albeit loosely) were cats and snakes.

I can kind of get behind this, but Akhevans and all humans were directly supported by the lore as well. The reason I like Akhevans was that I was always a fan of Luclin. Thought Horrors seemed to fit the theme well, as did grimlings (habitable world is going to have natives and all that stuff) but I'm 100% on board with hating the cavemen. Those dudes never made sense to me.

If we want Luclin, just give us the AA's from Luclin and custom zones that fit with the classic theme.

And tune the content for Velious +AA's. I'm so down with that. Ssra temple at bottom of LOIO and tell Veksar to go to hell. Akhevans in a dungeon linked to ToFS. CT revamp too cuz why not.

It wasn't that cat people on the moon was sci fi.... it was that the lore was goofy as hell.

no thanks for luclin, there are many other emu's and live that have it I'd say go there if you wanna have non-classic

troll luclin model sucks

Now do iksar, which is much better (minus swimming change).

Or human, half-elf, any elf-based model, or barbarians. All significantly better. Short races, ogres, and trolls get kind of boned, but hey you can leave classic models on for them.

Half-elf had a pretty good plate helm model replaced by painfully stupid-looking dildo hat, that alone was/is enough to nix luclin models for me.

Everything about half-elves other than their awesome plate helm looks absolutely retarded on the classic model. It's a good thing every half-elf is a bard, so no one has to see how amazingly stupid they look in chain. It's lambent/ss as far as the eye can see.

lol, Half-elf chain is cool except the hat, which still isn't half as fugly as the luclin plate hat. Also, any Half-elf Paladin or Warrior is much cooler than any of the 63000000 fotm Half-elf bards littering this server.

This just proves to me again how subjective art is. All of those models are horrid IMO - so bad it's cringe worthy. And the animations on them? Have you played a HE, or a WE? Argh.
