Both Luclin and Planes of Power can be very much in the spirit of "classic EQ" with a few minor tweaks.

Consisting of:

ZEM adjustments that don't lead to the "everyone xp in Paudula caverns and Plane of Valor" syndrome. I.E. ZEM's that reflect the true nature/danger of a zone.

And....

Nuking the Bazzar, Plane of Knowledge and Plane of Tranquility from orbit, with fire.

Stick the relevent quest NPC's elsewhere, and the zonelines to the various planes of power elsewhere.

as an aside, Al'kabor to this day has not completed nor seen all content in the first five expansions. There are still things that are new, like 7th hammer, inner acrylia, and of course Plane of Time has not been broken into yet. Many "server firsts" have just been done in the last year actually.

Luclin and Planes of Power add years of content to a "classic" everqeust. Its just a shame Plane of Knowlege is part of that package, the one true and only flaw with the first 5 expansions in my opinion.

When this server gets to velious..what then? I'd seriously recommend the next expansion, minus the "evil non classic elements" like bazzar. Ditto for PoP.

The Nexus would need to be pvp enabled, and I don't like how the teleporting to/from luclin worked..

And a lot of people seem to be against the idea of luclin altogether, for the simple fact that it gets to be too sci fi.

Nexus spires (back on the world) were pvp magnets back on SZ. I agree with making the actual nexus non safe zone (no zone should be a safe zone).

I know people trash on Luclin, but as someone who has spent a lot of time in luclin and raiding in luclin, I think it gets a bad rap. People compare it to velious and sure its gonna look bad. But Luclin has some pretty sweet zones with good atmosphere (namely most of the underground ones).

Luclin added a much needed "Underdark" to Everquest.

I can't comment on anything past planes of power. I vaugely remember some of the Legacy of Yekesha zones. When they added "evil frogs" and put them in the same noobie village as the good frogs, I knew EQ became a monty hall adventure.

Luclin and Planes of Power "can" be implemented in a way that respects the classic EQ vibe.

What are you talking about? The playable Froglok race was "good" and followed their creator Mithaniel Marr. Their starting town originally was Grobb.

Yeah it sort of made sense then diddint it? But then, later, they decided "some frogs are evil!" and let them worship Innoruk and be SK's and Necros.

There is already a version of EQ that goes to PoP, EQ Mac. Go there and play, why ruin the uniqueness of this great classic trilogy experience? You can't get this experience anywhere else, that is why people are here.
