Shadows of Luclin server

A few dozen people? There are more people who want it than who don't, its just the people who don't want it are more vocal, constantly trash talking it, while the people who want it usually just quietly vote for it on polls.

This Sebastionleo fellow is a smart man.

And thanks for pointing out that is not the poll that I was referring to. I think most of the active users know exactly the poll that I am talking about.

"A few dozen people" Oh lord, there goes that vocal minority trashing Luclin again.


Oh and for the record, nilbog is not anti-Luclin.

He said he doesn't want to work on it, but that doesn't mean he can't/won't find slaves to do it for him while he casually oversees it as a side project.

You can toss around all the poll numbers, and "vocal minority" claims you want (mostly unsubstantiated of course), but the fact remains the good guys running this shindig have no interest in anything past Velious, and that IS ACTUALLY the vocal minority you should be listening to, and the only one that really matters.

I voted for Luclin on the poll that was posted, with the hopes that we might see PoP one day. From a raid perspective, the highest end content with BIS gear will always be fought over tooth and nail, but opening up more content for smaller/casual guilds to progress through is healthy.

That being said, the devs have stated multiple times that Velious is the end and there's no way I can fault them for sticking to that. I won't be holding my breath to step foot in Vex Thal on this server.

Why would a classic radio station start playing modern music?
same logic applies here. Don't turn a classic server into a modern server.

My understanding is that Project 1999 is Nilbog and teams vision. I never recall him saying he had any plans for luclin. Just Classic, Kunark & Velious from my understanding.

Tune the station if you want to hear modern music. You knew what you were getting when you tuned into classic.

There is no classic. There is only Original, and then expansions. People can call through Velious "classic" all they want, but its just an arbitrary designator. Classic rock stations are playing 80s rock now, they used to play 70s rock, you know why? Because times change. Pretty sure the old classic rock stations I used to listen to play early 90s rock now too. We're 15 years past when this stuff came out, its all classic.

Also, people want to see this server go to Luclin and PoP because it is THE ONLY server with a community. The only server with a population. We can't just "go play PoP server" because THERE ARENT ANY. The closest thing is PEQ, which is up to GoD for raids, and Omens for levelling zones. The Al'Kabor Project and P2002 are working up to PoP, but are currently in like Kunark/Velious. This server has the devs who care to put in the time, and the people who play, that none of the other servers have, and we would like to see it continue to prosper, not stagnate with 4+ years of training Vulak to the entrance of ToV and bidding on BIS gear.

Luclin has lots of raid content that will keep raiders happy and busy for a lot longer than Velious ever could. PoP? Has even more quality raid content to keep raiders busy. This server population size is perfect for a Luclin or PoP timeline.

tl;dr

they call it classic because it's the game verant made, and the game they loved.
SOE made luclin and after which most people dislike

Thank you for commenting on the least important part of my post.

Everyone knows that Verant was SOE. Verant became the SOE we know today. Verant developed Luclin. She just failed again.

Luclin was THE Vision. Highest gameplay, highest subs. All the anti-Luclin do is post incorrect garbo biased posts.

Verant=SOE hate to burst your arbitrary argument's bubble

Well said HB. I was only referencing Luclin in my post. Of course, both expansions have so much to do for everyone from level 1 to level 60. PoP was possibly the most genius raid progression tiered system ever designed.

Imagine not needing raid class R, raid class C, raid class D, etc.

Imagine if the mobs you could kill simply depended upon the skill of your guild? That is Luclin, and even more so, Planes of Power. Hello Corinav (good luck with that BDA), Plane of Earth, and Xegony. Oh and RZTW says hello too. Meaningful rewarding guild progression tier system built into raiding? YES PLEASE.

I was merely referring to the fact that the biggest donors tend to play at the bleeding edge on blue, hence why I said more raids bring in more donations to support the project.

According to last years poll, its possible that less than 20 people are against Luclin. But they sure know how to post negative comments about it.

2002-2003 era EQ. Shits classic. Peak subs. The Golden Age of Everquest.
