Shadows of Luclin

Do you not understand what website you're on? The goal of P99 was to recreate pre-Luclin Everquest.

I'm not surprised people are bored, though, and think adding an expansion will suddenly make things better. It won't change the flawed game mechanics, the time waste, and the fact that the info is already out there and you're not doing anything new or interesting or skillful, only repeating tired old grinding. Things will only be worse, as instead of staring at carefully created pixels that were part of a well-considered world, you'll be staring at artistically defunct pixels.

This is the correct assessment.

We’re ready for a new classic server not taking the whole project off the rails

...and while the content in Plane of Sky never quite made sense, the islands-in-the-air design (and danger of falling off!) did feel on the outset like a proper high fantasy place.

This is one of several zones that I think we can chalk up to the technology available not quite being able to pull off what the artists wanted to do.

i like how people say most hate luclin and dont want it then there is a forum post where 95% of the people want luclin... irony?

When P1999 was in its own beta, there were no shortage of folks on the old forum insisting, vehemently at times, that "everyone" wanted a PvP server or unrestricted multi-boxing or other such rotten things. Folks who aren't getting what they want have more reason to post than folks who're already where they want to be.

My brother and I also both loved playing through Luclin! I actually came to this forum specifically today to see if there was any discussion about adding luclin.

I don't remember for sure, but when Luclin spire ports came out, there still might have been some hope that "Hey maybe Luclin just requires more ports in Luclin."

But when POP came out it was like finding out, an FPS now gives free headshots, because people don't like when they miss headshots. Like... oh.... EQ is dead.

I still haven't found the best metaphor for this, but the statement of "Most people liked _____." The "most people" or general population of people have always liked crazy things through time, and we looked back and disagreed later.

But back to, people might enjoy MMORPGs but they just don't want to play them in a nerdy style. That might unfortunately have to be the way they are fun. Where as, if you play a standard MMO, you might want to believe its great some how, but eventually people can't lie to themselves anymore that its bad.

People might want to enjoy MMOs because its a great idea, they might just not want to believe, how the actual reality of how they are fun.

But hey maybe not, maybe I'm just trying to force my Immersive world MMO religion on you. I hope people really enjoy games like that if its their thing, I still want to try Luclin.

I need to get out all these negative vibes. I could play a beastlord these days.... Wow classic has been pretty fun lately... /breathes

I'm really not upset, I just had to shake off negative vibes so people don't think I was upset. Honestly

Unfortunately not every server back in the day had dial a port, or something similar so PoK and it's ports were a breath of fresh air to me. Making the world seem smaller was an unfortunate side effect but it also made it so if you wanted to go put a group together and fight in a dungeon it didn't take you 30 minutes just to get to the camp.

That's true. I think Luclin could be fun, but because it came from a different version of a game, there might be a big tear when it comes to the split from casual gaming to no-life gaming.

I really don't have much hard feelings over it anymore. Maybe unless all classic gaming disappeared. Luclin might have less past negative feelings from me, if it was labeled a brand new game.
