RELEASE LUCLIN ON RED

[Kergan]

The blue server will survive for a long time, based on the fact that even the most hardcore person will probably have to raid for 3 years to get BiS.

Luclin was a great expansion.

Not sure the population of RED99 could really sustain it but maybe AAs/ safe zones etc would bring more blue players over.

Now that Velious is out id be more in favour of a new classic server that follows a classic timeline through to a possible Luclin release.

I think the hope would be with AA's, more people would be online. I have no reason to be on right now while I'm sitting on hold @ work, because there's nothing to do other than get ganked and plug and/or click a CT pot and get killed lost in the maze. Luclin, or AA's, gives me a reason to be online grinding, which provides more PvP opportunities, more people playing, more groups, more EXP chances for newer players struggling to find groups, etc., etc., etc.

We lost, no point, server sucks, wipe it all. Logical progression of thoughts.

The only thing good about Luclin was erudite foreheads

would rather see a server wipe and restart in classic than adding more zones/content

A meaningful comment, coming from an officer in the top guild who dominates content. If even the people with the most to lose are willing to nuke the server to rebuild it from the ground up so more people can enjoy it then maybe it is time the staff takes a good hard look at their stance on a wipe.

I personally would flush my 5 level 60s down the toilet tomorrow if I could play on a legit vanilla only FFA PVP server with P99 code.

Why not both? Classic server, classic timeline, with the hint of a promise of more to come after Velious. I really believe the promise of Velious during Kunark kept people immersed.

Another benefit of AAs was they kept people playing their main characters. I genuinely think they improved the PvP landscape too, with a few exceptions: deathtouch should not one shot out of the gates (it was nerfed very fast on live anyway), and the instant exodus line of AAs is unnecessary on a custom server.

A Luclin server in my mind would also be more attractive to blue players with safe trading hubs and enough serious raid content for 3 guilds the size of Empire.

This,

There has been so much changed in the past 4 years: Exp rates and group bonus, insta click pvp items, class customizations, items that ruined pvp, exp loss on pvp death, /ooc, yellowtext (we could go on and on). All for the better if you ask me, unfortunately most of those changes came too late or too early to retain some of the players that were grief'd off by them. Never the less a restart of this exact server would surely re-immerse hundreds of people.

Not to mention the amounts of RMT, just and unjust banning's, multiple members of staff dismissed and a general loss of faith in the red community.
