If an individual wants something to exist, they begin working on it, or if they want it badly enough, they pay someone to work on it.

We don't work on demand for free; we develop in our spare time for free. Our development is based on our own interests. At the moment, our interests are the same as the mission goal.. and the majority of the playerbase : classic everquest. Therefore, we share a common goal. If people ask for things we do not want to do, why would we spend our free time developing something we do not want?

This is the difference between developing for money (job).. and developing for fun (hobby). We don't make money, so we won't develop Luclin on demand. If we did, it would be because we want to do so.

Apply this to a hobby of your own. Say.. you're an artist. You provide paintings for free, expecting no more than that people might like them. You might paint Impressionist style, but you loathe Cubism. If people ask you for Cubism paintings.. you would say, no, I'm an impressionist.

I didn't like Luclin, so I won't be using my spare time to recreate it.
