Get off your high horse. Can people not argue the greatness of an expansion without caring if it was ever implemented or not?

Not sure I follow the high horse deal. I was acknowledging that we players who prefer classic EQ are in fact a minority. How that elevates us in your mind is beyond me.

But yes, you are free to discuss whatever you like. Interestingly though the title of the thread is "Why do people seem to hate Luclin so much?" But it has served as a pitching ground for the glory of Luclin. And that's fine, but don't go off half-cocked on people who are answering the question.

If you like I can go create a thread titled "Why do people seem to like Luclin so much?" And we can rehash this whole discussion again, but backwards! ^^

Luclin and PoP were fun but that doesn't make them classic.

I did not hate luclin, I just found it underwhelming compared to velious. A lot of it felt incomplete. Seru and Karts for example should have had lots and lots of quest arcs. The seru side in particular felt rather barren and forgotten. I liked the shard quest as I had some really fun groups particularly in Me when our cleric fell asleep and we fought by his side until 3 hours later a gm finally despawned him. Ssra was a great raid zone I adored it. Vt was horrible mobs with high Hp and zero strategy. Vt from an encounter point of view felt unfinished.

Atmosphere-wise luclin felt wrong to me. It looked almost like another game and I know its the moon but it was so far detached I just felt I was not in my good old eq anymore. I think i loved velious so much that luclin was doomed to come second best to it in my mind.

Best expansion.

The ONLY Expansion I would call "Classic" is Velious. It is the first Expansion that they finally sort of got all the damn stupid things they did wrong in the first 2 Expansions right.

But don't get me wrong, EQ even at the start was, and still is, pretty amazing when you think how much stuff they had to dream up to make it all happen sort of right. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Luclin took everything that was EverQuest and blew its ass out of proportion.
Mobs AC, holy shit everything was so hard to hit unless you already had raid gear
AA points, I honestly loved the idea of hitting max level to work on other alts while still being on call, but a level 51's level worth of exp for a single AA point, and many abilities went on the 2/4/6 scale, some even costing 9 AAs.. ugh.
Bane weapons, I love camping for loot as much as the next guy but fuck that shit right in the ass, ssra was not as bad as the other dude in the white city. I remember being in either CtV back on whatever fucking server it was after bertox split taking 3 hours to kill emp ssra because we only had like 3 bane weapons
Ring events, they were fun the first few times but.. no, just no.
12 hour vex thal raids, as if getting the key was bad enough you had to break that raid down into 2 or 3 trips and hope the whole "honor" thing stuck with other guilds because of a rotation.
Mixed feelings about the Bazaar, sometimes I wish it was there, other times I hang out in EC just to feel less alone. Dont lie, you do this too.
key camps.

I enjoyed all expansions up to PoP. Ssra temple was fun times!
