Shadows of Luclin server

I'm fine with Luclin on P99 as long as it's a one way zone in.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Proponents of Luclin have moved very far away from forcing Luclin on blue, many months ago...

Red99 on the other hand, could be used as a testbed for Luclin for a future Luclin release on a different server.

The original blue classic P99 server should absolutely remain unaffected for the next several years solid at least. I thought that was a given.

As long as there's no bazaar, I'm fine for some Luclin zone added as custom content... some of it is good. you can even pretend it's not on moon if you want...

I'm sure most proponents of Luclin would be happy with a chopped up version of Luclin, I'd prefer at least 70% of the expansion, or at least 50% of it though to ensure enough content.

The problem I see with this, is that in the polls that were taken, there weren't any conditions on the Luclin vote. I'd say keep it away from blue regardless. They need to do a second classic server first, but I'd put some form of Luclin in development in the next year personally, just to have it on the shelf for later days.

Alternatively, a very watered down Luclin going straight into Planes of Power is very feasible and possibly even more attractive I would think. I'd say putting man hours into Planes of Power makes much more sense than putting any developer time into Luclin. Planes of Power was a work of art raid-wise. Goodbye Class R, Class D, Class C. The skill of your guild dictates your place in Planes of Power's rankings.

Velious to Planes of Power's geargap is nearly nonexistent, and not a problem as Planes caters to non-BIS rags Velious raid forces very early on. We can hope some type of 25% Luclin is delivered frontloaded onto Planes of Power perhaps.

I personally don't see a need for custom content when the original 2002-2003 expacs got it right the first time (PoP especially). That's a lot of good stuff to just ignore and try to "beat" dev wise...

sorry, but pop's plane of knowledge was a disaster

[Smurn]

PoK was a disaster in what way?

[elwing]

- neutral zone.
- books.

isn't it enough?

Not THAT much difference between clicking book and / all dial and sending a tell for a port in my book. Think people majorly exaggerate this "problem" heh. You MIGHT have had a point in Classic when porters weren't a dime a dozen and available nearly 24/7/365 but cmon. When is the last time you wanted to go somewhere and couldn't get a port in 5 min or less? It's a rarity in my experience.

Just my 2cp tho

[elwing]

what about factions? cities? all that got obsolete in just one expac

Sorry but we already more than that and with some people 2 or 3 boxing it is more akin to 100-130 prime time. When Luclin arrives we'll have more real people online than P99 Red. But it will likely never even be close to the congested numbers of P99 Blue. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
