I've always said and heard the "Italian c":

Loochlin

Offtopic slightly but Dutch players say "Wuu-w" instead of WoW :p

Depends how drunk you are is how it is pronounced. :p

same "Luc-" sound as "Lucid" imo

All the devs I met and the voice-overed NPCs in EQII pronounce it "luck-lin."

a hard K sound in the middle of a word is annoying, and if thats true then i now hate this expansion even more than i already did

Not the worst butchering of an expansion I've heard tho. When Velious first came out I had a friend constantly call it "Velashious". I had no flipping clue what he was talking about, and thought he was having a stroke.

This reminded me....back around velious we had a coworker start playing who butchered a lot of the names. This was a middle aged man and he had his own lexicon going:
Potions were called "portions"
Lake of Ill Omen was "Lake of Ill-e-ome"
Cougar claw earrings were "Courage claw earrings"
And my favorite ....charisma was "chism"

He never made it to Luclin so I'm not sure how he would have translated that one.

It's just par for the course. I had to convince some of my workmates in the US that they didn't, in fact, invent the English language. It came from England, hence "English". No really, I'm not kidding.

You left out what type of work you do. It matters. :p
