Why do people seem to hate luclin so much?

There may not be spaceships, but Luclin shifted the primary setting of the game in a way that made it feel disconnected. All of Norrath had a very cohesive feel to it, and moving the current content to a different world destroyed that.

No more disconnected than Velious felt.

Why not make EC the Bazaar zone? Limit the satchels to small, for stuff like words/runes etc the small junk that is a pita to sell. So people still have to sell weapons/armor as normal.

The nexus porting is on non issue.. how many people actually take boats seriously?

Luclin added a lot of good and bad, we can pick out the bad and add the good.

I played till I think Ldon, but I consider PoP the last classic expack.. if you remove stones to old world. It had a lot of fun raiding and content.

First, take a deep breath, you seem mad.


So i guess what i really want is a PoP server, but with p99 community and ruleset. Call it Project 2004 or Project Golden Age i don't care, but that's exactly what i want. In the meantime, i'll keep playing p99 and bitch about the lack of Luclin/PoP and how it would be better with AAs and new spells/content, but it doesn't mean i don't enjoy the server as it is right now.

And i know i'm not alone.

lol erydan, my sentiments exactly, you are not alone!

You can have your preference as far as content all you want, but additional Classes(BST, BRZ, Gnome Pal, etc) from expansions post Velious are things that should be in. OPTIONS. MMOs succeed or fail based on the amount of options they provide a player. The longevity of the server is damaged when the developers straight refuse to implement these options because of their preferences. Granted they can do this cause of the nature of this project, but it's also why they'd never make it in any type of actual studio.

.

I found the end content very fun at the time, and it was fun to compete during that era. I thought the keying system for the end content was reasonable, and had to be done, and as I said, was fun to compete for. Getting into Vex Thal meant something, man. We called it "candyland." On hindsight, it foretold of the loot inflation to come in PoP, but at the time, it was pretty mighty.

As to the AA's, if by "not flawless but also added some nice things" I would agree if by that you mean, they were as if someone said, "Here, have few nice sized diamonds. They are somewhere in the 9 tons of morning-after-taco-bell shit I just dumped onto your front yard," where the yard is the game, the diamonds are the abilities that didn't either suck or nerf the game, and the 9 tons of shit is the AA system itself.

Ya'll keep thinking social interaction has to be some sort of grand philosophical debate between two players or something

Just having to rely on someone else for a port or having to actually interact with players selling things made the world feel alive. You start taking stuff like that away and it just becomes a single player game that other people inhabit.

This guy has it right, and it's pretty great knowing all you pro Luclin dipshits are never getting what you want on this one

Shit, we probably shouldn't even be talking about anything beyond Velious on a forum including memories of later expansions etc, that would be a silly thing to do.
