Shadows of Luclin

[Zuranthium]

Everquest = Norrath

Luclin sucks because it doesn't feel like a coherent place; the design of the zones is generally not good, losing the magic and authenticity of the earlier world and being too disconnected. It's like going from Lord of the Rings to some low-budget version of Dune.

If you want AA's or the ability to turn yourself into an AFK Vendor (aka, the Bazaar) that could just be implemented within the existing game world anyway. No reason to bring Luclin in.

there are literally dozens of reasons to bring luclin in, and if you don't like the luclin zones you can just not go to them, problem solved

most p99 players play here because they hate luclin and beyond

I think that's a very well worn path tread by a very vocal minority.

This is dumb reasoning, introducing shitty new content of that scale inherently means the rest of the game world and player population will be impacted.

release it
vulak is too easy

"Shitty new content" VT keys alone are double the timesink of VP keys...opens up kunark/velious raiding content for the server...it's a Win Win for everyone.

+ there's some fun new wars out there with the hollowshade moors and other zones. I don't think most people realize how fun luclin was because PoP came out too soon, it wasn't OP'ed either.

What warrior doesn't want enraging blow on Blade of Carnage? AA's brought much needed class balances. The list of beneficial changes far outweighs any negatives and most importantly, raid petitions reduce significantly in numbers thus making staff happy.

Classic, kunark and velious are flooded with empty, unused, unfinished zones.

There's 20 i could name off hands that are extremely broken, underutilised, unfinished, etc. Adding luclin barely adds any more, but it does open a shitload of content up for people.

If you applied luclin level content to p99 asbergers it would be truely remarkable gameplay. I'd love to see the novel approaches to many of the ring events, steps that can be skipped, quests half bypassed etc. Would be unlike luclin ever done on EQ before excepting the all but perfected endgame farming of Al Kabor for rotated AHR necks.

The content is really fun, zones are far better tuned than velious was.

Luclin was trash, Planes of Power even worse, and they'd ruin P1999 insofar as I care. I'm here specifically because those expansions ruined the game for me, and they'd ruin it again.

Enter the extremely vocal extreme minority I was referring to. Ok Boomer.
