Would PoP be considered classic if it was released before Luclin?

[Bboboo]

Just wondering if Luclin pissed in the cereal for everyone.

Heya

Their was a thread about a year ago talking about what would happen to p1999 after veliuos is done. Some good suggestions about custom content possibly bypassing luclin and have a modified POP expansion.

Lot of folks like the idea 8)

Not to me it wouldnt. Maybe to some other people? I personally really loved EQ from classic up to Luclin. It was POP that made me get real sour on EQ. Don't get me wrong though, Luclin had it's things I disliked. Such as the whole cats on the moon concept and the bazaar. I did really like the new Beastlord class and LOVED the AA system. Some of the zones were really neat as well.

There were some good things to luclin. And some not so much. Emp 1.0 that DT every 2 min would be cool.

Blood dies, there are two earrings on the corpse, yet no matter where you are in the room, the Emperor DT's. So congrats rot on those. It's cheap enough to make a mob DT in the first place. But to have his agro radius extend to the entire room is ridiculous. So let me get this straight -- and this is how you guys envisioned this in San Diego: You spend months farming keys to get up to the room. Months farming Shissar Bane weapons (and the recipe is where?). You kill Blood while dealing with 8 other snakes in the room. And immediately after that fight you're supposed to engage the DEATHTOUCHING-FROM-ANYWHERE-IN-THE-ROOM Emperor along with the 8 snakes? Whoever came up with this sheer *fisting* of an encounter can go fuck themselves.

I think most peoples definition of "Classic" has a lot to do with who developed that expansion. Luclin/PoP were the first expansions made after Sony bought out EQ from Verant. I think anyway. I don't know the history of EQ that well so it is the first thought that comes to mind. Might be right, might not be.

As far as I know the game always belonged to Sony.

a very common misconception, you are not the only one who thought "sony destroyed the game" when in reality they also brought us everything that we loved about the game [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Edit: And all the PoP hate is amazing. Can not believe people still blame the PoK book and Nexus/Bazaar for the game dying. I guess you gotta believe in SOMETHING am I right?

Yeah, in highschool (2006) I got in fights with this kid whose dad worked on Everquest who said how sony always owned EQ, they wouldn't have made nearly as much money without pumping out expansions which is what businesses are for and I was fucking retarded.

Ran into him randomly 5 years later in a completely different state, he's pretty cool.

Sony can't always have own something they didn't create. It wasn't Sony's product initially, they bought the rights after Verant couldn't float the game anymore. Verant produced Kunark, Velious, and most of Luclin I believe, and somewhat had a hand in PoP, but anything after that was solely SOE's direction, and well...

Tell that to the Sony's lawyers. There is a reason none of the spin offs on all the servers you can log onto, even here, are free to play. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] And even Rogean has control of the Log in thingy. It is his baby.
