No, we shouldn't have Lucin. But maybe its Velious tweaks would be fine

Several Velious tweaks made during the Luclin era include:

- Vulak Ring
- Rooted dragons
- Ancient spells

I don't see a big issue with adding these.

Do you try ordering sweet and sour pork with a side of chow mein when you go to McDonalds?

No? Then why are you asking an entire team of people who have been building a Classic-Velious (and NOT Luclin) server for nearly a decade to suddenly change what they've been doing for all those years just because you want something different.

That's a bit disingenuous, since most players in EQ experienced Velious content during the Luclin era. Rooted dragons and Vulak ring event and all.

It'd also give Aftermath something to do every night. Detoxx would be over the moon.

Rooted Dragons = P99 Raiding is boring as hell.

IDK why people swear up and down that it's the solution to p99's raiding "problems". WTF is fun about killing trash mobs for 3 hours to kill a dragon? How would that help casual guilds? The trash in ToV is probably harder then the dragons. If more then one guild is trying to compete for a rooted dragon... ToV would turn into Nagoya Station.

Now I don't want to sound like I am shitting on people's ideas on how to move forward with raiding on p99. But I really think rooting the dragons is the worst idea out of all of them.

But WTF do I know if it aint about big booties.

Lastly, Idol of Rallos Zek keeps people from wasting AoW. Just makes more sense really. It's like Velious SP3.

Nothing, that's the point. Right now it's a loot conveyor belt. There should be more pain involved in getting those loots. It shouldn't be so easy mode.

If we're talking about Custom Content... It would be cool if say, your guild had to complete a specific test or trial in order to unlock some Luclin raids. That's a whole can of worms, but I think it would be kind of fun.

It actually would be interesting to see if we could kill Emp/AHR in Velious gear with no AA power ups. Banes would have to be summoned for the melee folks if course.
