as soon as custom content hits p99 it turns into another EZ server, and the everquest feels go right out the window.

I'd rather have no luclin than a custom frankenstein luclin

the biggest problem with most expansions is that instead of adding to the existing content like you think an expansion is supposed to, it instead renders all prior content useless.

Exactly... what was the point of such huge XP mods in the luclin era, were they trying to make the game more casual? Or was it because they wanted people to use the new zones instead of the old ones? Why didn't they either raise the old zones xp modifiers or balance the new ones to the old. It sucked having to level in the luclin zones, was it wrong to like the classic zones so much but be forced to level slower than everyone else? Hell, I didn't even care for the kunark zones that much. I liked velious ones though. I like me some colors in my zones.

Luclin is for sure a top 3 expansion. One of my favorites. Hope to see it here someday.

I wouldnt mind Luclin, mostly for AAs, gives you something to keep working for, your character is never really "finished" with AAs, its awesome. However, tbh Id prob wouldnt enjoy p99 anymore if there was a bazaar, it killed all buying/selling/trading. Thats one reason why I always come back here, cause I could sit in EC tunnel for hours just making money by buying low, selling high. You just cant do that in any other MMO anymore. Now a days everything just caters to impatient ppl or casuals, which isnt so much of a bad thing, considering now a days theres more casual "gamers", then there is hcore. But trading is how I met a good 50% of the people I know in EQ, some ppl prefer the "I have 100pp, and I want to buy item for 100 off this player made vendor", other people prefer the "I have 100pp, and I want to turn it into 150pp".

Honestly, I think it be pretty cool if they stopped at Velious, but then later down the road just activated AAs. Dont know what that would do to balancing all the classic content, but it would def. give people more of a reason to continue playing and progressing their characters. I dont think people would get bored so easily.

Bazaar - It is convenient and it takes away all the ripoff ass jacks or lamers who try to cut your prices by 20-50%. True it takes away the interaction and to a certain extent the kind folks ( who gives out random stuff to real noobs ) but it really saves lots of time buying selling. Anyone remembers you have to wait in queue to see someone bags of stuff via trade window when some random dude in EC " WTS 3 bags of stuff T1" ?

Paludal - This zone just destroyed the levelling curve and created more newbie whiners who complained that their XP is damn shitty post 50. ( most of my servers back then still level in Sebilis and Velketor post 50 )

Dawnshroud/Netherbian lair - Coupled with paludal, no one else will leave the moon before level 45++. And you get dudes asking you where is Lower Guk, SoldungA/B, Befallen etc because there is no reasons to go those zones anymore apart from farming the occasional item.

AA - Some nice class customization and nice new feats for classes. A everlasting stay on EQ since then. It also made Everquest changed from "Evergrind" to "Evercontinuinggrind" where raid guilds no longer just looked at your level and skill for recruitment but how many AAs you have.

Cats - Just destroyed the medieval feel. But Shar Val is a nice city.

Cities - Shar Val, Sanctus Seru, Katta Castelleum all very nice. However Shadowhaven simply destroyed the need to go back to any starting city anymore. And unless you are a wizard or druid, travelling to and fro from the moon is just a waste of time

Nexus - Boats without the ship, replaced with a black hole. You dont even have the seas to look at while you wait. Instead you have 3 nice stone walls and an NPC dude looking at you while u wait on your ass.

Character models - Crap for many players. The older graphics card at that time all suddenly seemed inadequate.

Raiding - Cool as hell like Velious and Kunark for me. Especially Ssra Temple and Acrylia as well as the Deep. Vexthal is a cool zone but the insane amount of monsters HP is ridiculous.

Gear - Way too OP. You dont even need any gear change pre EP in POP if u had full VT gear. Hell, you could even use just VT gear to reached Potime if your guild is coordinated enough. It was that good.

Can't believe how many people actually like the AA system. Adding abilities is always fun, but adding more grinding to a game is never my idea of adding fun. I enjoy the free roam play time on my characters, especially my 60 druid because I can go do whatever I want when I am on him. Having to log on and constantly have grinding in the back of your mind once you're 60 was never appealing to me in Luclin, and one of the reasons I ended up quitting then (along with the bazaar and the nexus).

One of the many reasons I am glad Luclin will not be added here (not even going to start on the power creep aspect of Luclin).

This.

I think it would actually be pretty cool to have a server keep going through Luclin, even to PoP, with all things "classic" except for about a 25% reduction in item stats across the board for Luclin/PoP gear. Add a little more challenge in this time around. Custom does not have to mean easier.

+1

Besides that, I liked Luclin and hope we can get to there someday here, even if some features like Bazaar or Paludal have to be fixed (Fixed but NO custom content).

Most people actually feel like accomplishing stuff on their toons. Basically here once a toon is 60 your done with them other then parking them at camps to farm stuff. AA system extended the life of your toon is basically the way i looked at it.
