RELEASE LUCLIN ON RED

[Bazia]

Rogean said a long time ago having AA's on P99 code is impossible, something about them being stripped or altered in the code in a way that isn't recoverable without fucking up an enormous amount of other shit.

Just means they have to be coded back in. It wouldn't fuck anything up, you just would have to find a way to write them back in.

No one is saying Luclin is not an enormous task in general for the current devs. But with the right hires with fire in their belly, this can be done within 2-3 years.

The word that Luclin is being developed for BETA PURPOSES only (no release planned) will do a lot for morale of current raiders and end-game players.

I am not saying announce a plan to release Luclin at all, but rather, that it should absolutely be in development even if it stays there.

Yeah ive derailed, everybody does it.

Still ive outlined what i thought really killed classic and its not (lol) the lack of PVE content.

If by derail you mean people having to scroll down your posts and not read them then yes you have derailed.

so many pages of angry nerds wanting to pve on a pvp server, how about you browse any of the 250 other emus offering a luclin gaming experience

So your chars are all level 1 with no items equipped?

EQ is a PvE MMO with PvP enabled. When you add more PvE [within reason, EQ eventually jumped the shark here], there's more people logged in to accomplish the goals, which means more people to fight with over those goals.

Never going to happen.

Hate to break it to you, but it's more likely at this point than a Teams server, on which you've written multiple treatises.

Firstly, you keep talking like adding more content will add more people. Based on Kunark having fewer people than the height of classic, and velious having fewer than the height of kunark, that isn't the case.

Second, WoW has more PvE than EQ does. It has infinite PvE, in fact, since every group gets their own instance. How often do raids fight over targets in WoW? Never.

Spread the players too thin, and the PvP stops. Create enough raid mobs that everyone can have some, and the PvP stops.

EQ PvP is about contesting gear, which only happens when that gear is limited and when the targets are accessible. Classic fixes both, by having limited gear which isn't overpowered and 10-man-able content that a small group can contest.

Again, I don't know why this is so hard to grasp. I can only assume that you're just a Luclin fanboy, in which case you shouldn't be playing on a classic, 1999 server.

Nilbog has said over and over.....NO

Let me stop you right there. Velious hit over 300 people. Not once did Kunark hit 300+. Classic dropped down to SINGLE DIGITS during the day time after the first two months. Kunark sent pop back to triple digits.

Everything else after your incorrect factual assertions is irrelevant because it's a conclusion based on a factually incorrect premise.
