This is true, the only EQ expansion that actually implemented more bad changes than good ones. The only thing worth going to Ykesha for was some of the (extremely) few good new spells like Blood of Nadox.

Not worth maps, dyes, and all the other game-killing things that was in LoY. Even charms were dumb as hell. Camp a mob for hours for an extra 50 hp only on days that Bertoxxulous bathes.

Most people blame Luclin or PoP, but this expansion was single-handedly the beginning of the end for EverQuest. Yes, PoK travel was bad. But LoY was completely a WoW damage control expansion. Get lost? Here's maps. Don't like your purple hate armor? Dye it black or red like everyone else and destroy the integrity of item design. Don't want to wait to buy Torpor/Aegolism/Your Class's Ultra Rare Uber Spell? Go spend a couple hours in LoY to get a newbie version. Can't get a Blade of Carnage? Go camp the level 30 mob that drops a hate proc sword. Et cetera... this was also around the time that Sony was experimenting with instancing with Plane of Time, and embraced it fully with the next expansion (Lost Dungeons of Norrath which was the 2nd worst EQ expansion of all time).

I don't want the expansion. I just want the frogs.


Gimme frogs.

I swear. I rarely visited any of LoYkesha. It really was horrible.

I had ALOT oof fun with the luclin expansion playing on Tallon Zek. It was kind of the beginning of the end of an era though, and then POP was the last nail in the coffin.

Adding things like the Bazaar is like adding WALMART to a small-knit community and expecting mom-and-pop shops to stay in business. It kills off the small things we all liked, like trading in EC tunnel, auctioning for ports, etc..

Eh if you put the lore leading thre aside. Luclin did add a COMPLETELY unique line of monsters, and zones to explore. cat people sucked, beastlord was awesome, graphics on the zones and such were nice.....Don't remember vex thal very much.

Eh

was probably fine on the carebear servers but it ruined the pvp servers.

the AA's and new spells completely destroyed any semblance of skill based pvp in eq.

the bazaar was a safezone and this is where 90% of the server could be found as a result, sitting afk in a safezone.

luclin seems like it would be a pretty cool standalone expansion eh?
