Shadows of Luclin server

[kernal]

Been reading on the forums luclin will be coming out here in the next few years to come is this true? I sure hope so Everquest didnt even really get good until the luclin era.

Luclin will be releasing at the same time as discord

Unlikely. Rogean said no, and the short reason why is because of client difficulties. As I understand it, he'd basically have to code a lot of Luclin from scratch. Which wouldn't be fun.

So I doubt it.

That's a pretty interesting chart. The rate of increase in subscribers notably flattened out at Luclin. All the way from release to Velious it was spiking rapidly, and then on the Luclin release the derivative goes way down.

Luclin was "good" at subscriber retention, and not good at attracting new subs, which sounds about right - totally catered to the people already neckbearding, but little to offer to newbies who were trying to get immersed in a fantasy world, and instead found cats on a moon.

Velious is where the peak plateaus.
Depths of Darkhollow is where the population died. (But that may have been related to world of warcraft's growing popularity at that time)

I don't see luclin or pop causing a a increase of players/hype...

Stop miss-leading people and spreading false information.

Well it doesn't really say what was going on there apart from the obvious stall. Were there new players coming into the game? I'm certain there were, it was still a good game for the most part and boxes on shelves to be bought. Were people leaving? Well if there were new players to the game, and I'm sure there were (though maybe less), and then the increase in accounts suddenly went stagnate, that would mean players were leaving as well. This is called "turnover", and it apparently began in the time just leading up to the Luclin release.

which includes keeping you completely in the dark until such things happen
