Why do people seem to hate luclin so much?

Oh baloney. The Nexus port was like taking a boat: slow, clumsy, rarely gets you close to your final destination. The Nexus port was almost infinitely inferior to hiring a porter unless you were flat broke, and it was a godsend if you were playing at odd hours and there were zero porters available for hire.

The wizards and druids who offered port & translocate for hire services made the world small. The nexus port reinforced and emphasized the size of the game world by making you walk to & from a single hub per continent.

Are you trolling?

Are you an idiot? Oh wait, reading the rest of your replies, you are. Do you really think the bazaar turned EQ into a solo game? Do you get most of your player interaction in EQ via the EC tunnel? The EQ developers rightly realized the valuable and interesting part of human interaction in EQ was killing stuff with groups large and small, not in haggling over the price of an fbss.

And that takes the living breathing sandbox world idea and turns it into grindquest.

Ya'll keep thinking social interaction has to be some sort of grand philosophical debate between two players or something

Check, check, Check, Yup Check, Super Check, and... I'm indifferent.

That more or less covers it yup.

I beta tested Luclin and it it didn't feel like the Everquest I loved. It was more a feeling thing than anything. I know people loved Luclin, and especially Beastlords, and maybe I'm silly for not liking change, but Luclin just took Everquest down a road I just want' interested in taking with it. Kunark and Velious both kept the spirit of classic.

Luclin tried to change everquest, but Kunark and Velious tried to expand upon it.

Skip luclin. Launch planes of power with no PoK books.

I would be okay with this actually. POK killed porters as well as Luclin making mounts which i could care less. and cat people and Moon zones were junk graphics were crap however i did like AC

I didn't mind it so much, but it definitely introduced a lazier play style to EQ.
