Surely you and all the people voting for loose-lin are trolling.

It's already been pointed out, but a c followed by a consonant in the English language is pronounced hard as a "k" e.g. lucrative, clear. A c followed by a vowel is soft e.g. lucid. Luclin has a c followed by a consonant, so it's almost certainly hard.

= "Luck-lin"

Luck-Lin

Also SoW is pronounced like Crow not like Cow.

I've always pronounced it like Quaynos, but I'm pretty sure I've heard EQ dev's say it as "Key-nos".... Same thing with Erudities.. I always say You-rid-it-ies, but it's probably pronounced more like Erro-dites. That's what happens when there's no voice acting and people have to go off their own reading/interpretation skills lol.

Erudite is actually a word, basically means learned. Pronunciation is in link.

Your example seems to be more of a case for "Luke-Lin".

Otherwise, why wouldn't lucrative be pronounced, "luck-rative"?

Wow, I'm really surprised that it is this divided. I've never heard anybody say it any other way than Luck-lin.

Fair call, and I could live with "Luke-lin". "Loose-lin", however, is out IMO. Everyone I know has always called it Luck-lin, including the devs though.
