Wont solve the problem and will cuase the same crash of the economy that the Bazzar did. Do that and minus whale just have a searchable index and save the headache of clicking on afk bandwidth eating vendors.

Really hate this aspect of Asian games. Dont bring that stuff to western MMOs.

SoL modernized the game.

People dislike change.

IMO the Bazaar, mounts, and Spires were too much.

You could do luclin for the content and not the game changing mechanics.

I liked a couple things about Luclin... mainly the new weapon models (I'm always a sucker for more shiny stabby smashies) and I enjoyed the cat-folk well enough.... I even like a couple of the models, namely the elves. But I play Iksar primarily and their awful model was the start of the dislikes.

A lot of the models have piss-poor copy/pasted animation and very muddied-down cultural armor designs... I know I can turn off certain models, but it's the principle of the thing. Honestly one of my biggest problems with it were the introduction of scaling weapons and minimum levels on gear (something I have always hated)... if you have the scratch to buy cool shit, you should be able to enjoy it however you like! And my other big problem is the Bazaar....

You know what classic EQ has that no other modern game including EQlive has? A living, breathing, open market with a soul. Every piece of gear I have obtained from EC has been a fun haggle give and take, and a couple have even lead to adventures to fetch things or the like.... an Auction House/Bazaar completely destroys this personal charm, this face-to-face socializing... I remember most people I have sold to and recognize them in passing and grouping... cant say I could do that in later games.

Short answer? No, keep Luclin out of P1999, especially because there are other servers that feature them.

wow people are still arguing about this lol

I always thought it was funny the zone was called The Bazaar. Shouldn't it have been named "The Bazaar Replacement," since it effectively removed any semblance of a "bazaar" atmosphere from the game ?

"Why do people seem to hate luclin so much?"

Because for as much as it added, it also ruined the game in the eyes of a LOT of people. More features and easier ways to do things is not always a positive.

Paludal Caverns though? Raid content? The birth of AAs? Everyone hated it?
