Like at least a year b/w expansions updates.

Anything is possible heh.

But why not likely?

Spawns, pathing, quests are all done by hand, by a small team. An expansion the size of Luclin would take 4 years. On the other hand, ondividual zone releases (stonebrunt, jaggedpine, warrens) could be released every 3-4 months

[Ihova]

Ah kk.
Then in that case I would not mind seeing it in 4 years and then pop in 4 years? lol

But, as far as Luclin is concerned, the only thing I did not like is
the bazaar. If they turned that feature off I'd be fine. It hurt socialization
and people willing to help others.

(FYI spires are not that bad, druid ports were still awesome b/c spires took what 10 or 15mins
b/w uses and there were only a handful.)

Raiding though, well that might be kinda hard on people b/c of keys making choke points,
but if spawn cycles are moved up like now it would not matter as much. Keys were the
hard part of luclin raiding. Getting everyone keyed for emperor of ssra, then vt, then also
getting key/weapon for seru. Only 7 targets (maybe 8) that did not require keys. IMO though
keying was fun, it meant seeing all of the zones even lower ones to complete.

Spires would make Red99 fun I think but I could see the QQ of people camping Spires.

[Ihova]

Even if people camped the spires on red would not make to much of a difference, you just got to get the item and then can come back to the spires just before the timer goes off.

Am I the only one who does NOT want to see Luclin, but wants PoP? Luclin was terrible, IMO. Vah Shir were a silly race to add, spire auto port was dumb, and the bazaar, i wont even mention the Bazaar. Spires and Bazaar were the first huge steps AWAY from Everquest, towards a different kind of modern game. I didn't care for the massive Luclin zones, or low end content it brought either, because it killed the entire low end newbie zones.

PoK however did bring something immensely useful. A high end content that was extremely challenging, very cool, and for me, an expansion on the coolest part of the game that i loved back in 2000: Lore of the gods.

What PoP brought that I despised, was the book travel. If they could skip Luclin all together, launch PoP without the use of book travel, that would epicly ideal for me. An idea on ridding PoP of book travel all together obviously cant fly because you have to be able to get to the PoK somehow. So the idea i came up with is this: make PoK accessable through books from Norrath, but you can only go back through the book you came from. So people essentially cant use it for travel around Norrath. You can only use it to go from Norrath, to PoK, and back to where you came.. That'd be cool.

anyways, thats just my 2cents, and I know most wont agree.

Luclin had some of the best raids in the game, though you're right about the bazaar and low end stuff. I'd be happy with just Ssra and VT :P

The Deep, Sanctus Seru, Akheva, UP, ME, revamped CT all damn fine zones. Fungus Grove was...decent, a nice place to do easy AA XP with AOE [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
