Why do people seem to hate luclin so much?

Yet another "why can't we have luclin/pop on the anti luclin/pop server?" thread.

Jesus, if you like the post velious expansions why do you play on this server? Why don't you play on one of the other servers that have those expansions? You know, the expansions that drove most of us to seek out project1999. Every week somebody starts this thread. Shit get's old. This server is called project 1999. The clue is in the name. This server was created by players, for players who didn't like it when sony took a giant dump on their beloved game in the form of luclin and subsequent expansions. Stop trying to turn project 1999 into project free live everquest every week.

God damn.

Wait, so you do or do not like the Luclin idea?

Why not make EC the Bazaar zone? Limit the satchels to small, for stuff like words/runes etc the small junk that is a pita to sell. So people still have to sell weapons/armor as normal.

The nexus porting is on non issue.. how many people actually take boats seriously?

Luclin added a lot of good and bad, we can pick out the bad and add the good.

I played till I think Ldon, but I consider PoP the last classic expack.. if you remove stones to old world. It had a lot of fun raiding and content.

Oh man, great idea.

Luclin had The Bazaar, p99 can have The Tuunel.

Not really though. I'm more an all-or-nothing kind of guy and i want to preserve authenticity. Either a fully authentic classic/kunark/velious server and another one that goes up to PoP, or nothing.

You can have your preference as far as content all you want, but additional Classes(BST, BRZ, Gnome Pal, etc) from expansions post Velious are things that should be in. OPTIONS. MMOs succeed or fail based on the amount of options they provide a player. The longevity of the server is damaged when the developers straight refuse to implement these options because of their preferences. Granted they can do this cause of the nature of this project, but it's also why they'd never make it in any type of actual studio.

I really liked SoL except for the new character models. I thought the new models were too generic and they looked ridiculous. The content was good and the BL class was interesting.

Although I didn't hate Luclin at all, I did hate what I saw of Vex Thal. Loved AA's, Ssra, etc. But being in a hardcore guild, having to farm that key while also being in high school, the game required me to not sleep for several nights, and then after I finally got in, early VT was incredibly tedious. Being a shadowknight, I stopped asking for buffs or bothering to do anything but hit auto attack and tab over to DAoC or something, because it didn't matter either way. Fastest way to farm AA's was to solo Fungus Grove, which lost its charm eventually. It was simply the catalyst that caused my attention to sway elsewhere, and I could no longer justify playing every day, going casual and eventually quitting.

Luclin was the nail in the coffin for the "hardcore" because it demanded of the "hardcore" what they had always demanded of everyone else - absurd timesinks.

Ironically, Luclin is the reason instanced MMO's succeeded, and the crowd here that hates instanced MMO's is the very reason why they are now the mainstay.

I always love these little talks, because it always ends in them just shitposting nonsense because they can't accept that EQ had flaws.

Absolutely perfect example of a nonsense shitpost.

Thanks for the demonstration.

Not fan of luclin, but for totally different reason than most of you. I hated hated hated the incomplete feel of the expansion. SO much potential with all the different cities and for what NOTHING. As another poster posted only ssra and vexthal had any work put into them the rest of cities where just plain empty shells some half assed quest and nothing else.

Most who raided luclin can tell you it was FUN my guild first Emperor Kill was fricken awesome. I will never never forget wining the emp sword on my paladin. Raiding vex thal andjust loosing that earing http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=12973 by 1 DKP to my friend MONK made me almost cry. Yes i know that earing is better for monk /war but i wanted that dam thing for my paladin8).

Keying process was a hug time sink
