Luck-lin.

Consequently, how can there be an incorrect pronunciation of a made up word when we have real words with different pronunciations?

Toe-may-to, Toe-mah-to. Both are correct.
Oh and forgot the southern pronunciation, 'mater.
This is how the SoE employees were reported to have pronounced it at EQ fainfaires. I continue(d) to say Loose-lin, just because I like it better that way, but Luck-lin is correct if you care.

I've never said it and had an EQ player go, "Huh, what are you talking about?" So I think people know anything that ends in starts with L and ends in LIN is Luclin.

I prefer Luck-lin

Qeynos was a mystery as a kid I pronounced it Kwee-nos (nose with a soft s)

wasnt until I think eq2 when they added in voice mods and i heard it spoken Key-nos

Erudite was another tricky one when i first heard it, i was like 12 =p

think i called them err-uh-dites

it will always be luck-lin to me, loose-lin just sounds stupid. and frankly offensive to be calling that poor girl lynn loose...
