I don't want to say Luclin sucks, but it certainly doesn't hold a spot in my nostalgic heart. I left EQ around that time to go play DAoC, so I never was heavily vested in it. Secondly, when I came back to try out Luclin, I hated the Luclin character models.

While this is probably an unpopular opinion, I think the downfall of EQ started with Kunark, it provided super easy outdoor zones with tons of mobs to support many many groups to level from 1-50. I realize it's possible to level 1-50 in outdoor zones in classic EQ, but by the time you get into your mid 20's there isn't a lot to choose from for outdoor zones. But you have several dungeons to choose from.

Anyhow, that's my two copper.

I'd have to respectfully disagree with you there.

The Golden Age of EQ was probably Velious/Luclin/PoP.

Class balance was nearly perfect but each class had their respective strengths and weaknesses still. There was stuff to do once you hit max level outside of raids. Group dungeons were the best they've ever been.

Classic class balance is fooked. The standard on P1999 is to play a mage/necro/druid to easy-level to 50, farm, and gear out/PL your 'main' class. It's rare to see a group of 50's hanging out in Lguk.

WTF?
