When are we getting beastlords?

[Insomnia]

Blue should progress to PoP and Green should stay at velious

Luclin was a really easy expansion to hate on back in the day when it dropped. I remember strongly disliking it.

Then I played on Agnarr, and I couldn't believe how much fun I had in Luclin. It was so much better than I remembered it being.

I would bet the devs here have not played Luclin since it was new. I wish they would go try it out again and see how it hits them now. You could remove horses and the /trader function and Luclin would be a great addition to P99. People would take to it fast imo, and it would improve server health.

I have accepted beastlords. When luclin and especially pop came out, I became very against any change to EQ. But I think its possible.

Not classic, not classic, not classic <3

I thought it was Luclin that gave clerics the summoned hammers and bash, but a quick look through my logs seems to show it as PoP era:

[Sun Feb 02 06:52:19 2003] [56 Templar] Mccoy (Human) <Menacing Visage>
[Sun Feb 02 06:52:19 2003] There are 11 players in Dawnshroud Peaks.
[Sun Feb 02 06:53:05 2003] You no longer have a target.
[Sun Feb 02 06:53:05 2003] A wolf springs from a nearby bush...hungry for blood.
[Sun Feb 02 06:53:05 2003] A fungus covered shroom tries to hit YOU, but misses!
[Sun Feb 02 06:53:05 2003] A fungus covered shroom kicks YOU for 4 points of damage.
[Sun Feb 02 06:53:06 2003] Auto attack is on.
[Sun Feb 02 06:53:06 2003] You crush a fungus covered shroom for 25 points of damage.
[Sun Feb 02 06:53:07 2003] You bash a fungus covered shroom for 8 points of damage.
[Sun Feb 02 06:53:08 2003] You begin casting Yaulp V.
[Sun Feb 02 06:53:08 2003] You feel a surge of strength as you let forth a mighty yaulp.

I'll keep looking and see if I see anything from earlier on.

Can we have a subforum where all these Luclin-lusting posts can get filtered to? Perhaps even straight to RNF?
