Yep, exactly this. If we thought farm teams selling MQ's were frustrating now, they would have a field day with new targets if AA's were added.

AA’s without luclin content would break p99.

Indoor run3
Everyone mitigating 10% better
Everyone avoiding 10% better
Everyone 10% more base hp
Priests/Casters with 15% aa based mana preservation
Spell casting subtlety

Those alone would trivialize high end content. You’d see more people camping all raid targets with fewer people to gear alts, sell MQs, and sell loot rights.

Neither will happen here, but Luclin would have to be all or nothing.

Luclin is in the game already, just lookup when it's night time.

add mirror golems, the best EQish encounter ever

Yes, so I remembered AAs correctly. Numbers that go up even when you are level 60.

OP: have you considered the effects of shifting the playerbase to the lv60 end of the spectrum while simultaneously making every existing camp more solo/duoable?

If we weren't already there with Velious gear by itself ^^

There's no "there." There is always more, and it can always get worse.

Each to their own but I'm not grinding raids for hours/weeks/months for an extra 60 HP and +3 to PR/DR or whatever.

I'd sooner faction grind pointless factions than have best in slot for every slot on a character.

I just don't play or post about games I don't enjoy, or stop playing and posting about games when I stop enjoying them. :>

There isn't much demand for Luclin as this very thread demonstrates. Nobody's going to stop there. Any emulator that opens Luclin will inevitably also progress to Planes of Power. At that point not only do you ruin the game for classic purists, but you're also providing the same thing a couple other emulators already seek to provide.

I've long felt that Luclin had some good buried underneath a mountain of garbage, and a "fixed Luclin" that builds on the good and pitches out the huge amount of trash could provide some decent gameplay. Call it custom content. It won't happen here. Even if it didn't run contrary to P99's purpose, if no-one has noticed the admins here seem largely burnt out (after 9 years, I don't blame 'em). There hasn't been a patch in roughly a year. We'll be lucky if they ever finish out Velious, and positively fortunate if "green" ever actually exists. A large, ambitious expansion is so far outside the realm of viability given such circumstances that it can't even be regarded as a genuine request....merely as daydreaming.
