Why do people seem to hate luclin so much?

Do you live in Cuba or something? Most of us can go to amazon.com and buy pretty much anything.

No. For Everquest, I simply prefer using the East Commons auctioning system, rather than the Bazaar.

I had two problems with Luclin. First, it was the beginning of the end for the porting business. I understand that people had to wait for the spires to activate, but part of the challenge of Everquest was mobility, if you chose to play a class that had limited options.

Second, the bazaar destroyed the East Commonlands trade. We can haggle over prices in East Commonlands, and it's more true-to-life as far as the idea of not having all items available at all times to buy.

Particularly pertaining to point 2. Most of the people against baz and luclin in general look at things through rose colored glasses.

Most of us aren't kids/teenagers anymore. We don't have 6 hours to spend sitting in EC tunnel anymore waiting for that one guy selling the item we want to log on. Baz enabled us to see if the item we wanted was for sale, buy it and leave.

It turned the game from a medieval fantasy with dragons and goblins into a crappy episode of Star Trek.

Enemies being named BLARGH BLERGH FIEND kinda gives me the impression that the devs just gave up.

Luclin simply dropped off into the uncanny valley, breaking immersion. People come to p99 because they still wake up at night from fevered dreams just wondering, "What if?" Its undeniable that what Everquest is today started with Luclin. Luclin is just a clear demarcation between "What it was like and what it became." The trauma of this cognitive dissonance will probably never heal. ;D

I don't think most people really hate Luclin, everyone seems to like something about it; they just don't want to play the game that ended their cherished fantasy worlds.

One of the big points was missed. ZEM's. Paludal caverns was particularly bad.

It had a much higher ZEM than any other zone for that level which meant everyone went there to level, abandoning all old zones. This was common for a lot of luclin zones.

Maybe... but with equipment scaled down for lack of Luclin



This is kind of a cool idea, maybe this would just move EC to the Bazaar.

No need to tone them down at all. It adds to the difficulty!

[Hawala]

Maybe, but I meant scale back the gear.

[Rararboker]

I know, no need though. Makes it harder to break into the planes at first but it makes the loot that much more worthwhile. Considering what I've seen on this server I don't think any of the top raid guilds would have any issue with this arrangement. They'd make it work.

It went from fantasy to sci-fi.
