Luclin without Luclin

[Tethler]

Disable recharges and MQs. Make wizards viable. Add shared bank.

That's all p99 really needs.

[Jimjam]

If you're adding shared bank, you may as well throw in the rest of LoY too!

If you've done everything p99 has to offer just stop playing instead of trying to get the staff to add new stuff that isn't classic.

This server stopped being classic long ago.

People here sooooo pick and choose their arguments without the slightest regard to the other side of the coin.

"BUT THAT'S NOT CLASSIC!!"....the rallying cry of the insecure and unimaginative.

Server agreements, recharging items, game mechanic exploits, FTE, etc etc.....

NONE of that was classic.

So I will address the elephant in the room. People don't want Luclin, because it will reset the top dogs on the current server and open them up to be dethroned. Its all about balance of power. This server has been locked in a stagnation for YEARS. It's time to move on. The people "who want to experience the classic feel of EQ" ran it's course years ago. Those who wanted to experience it, already have. P99 is not going to have a sudden influx of players that "wanna relive nostalgia" Those players that have the slightest interest in doing so have already did it and stayed, or tried it and left.

The real question is do you really wanna live in a finite, capped, non-dynamic world, or would you rather move on to bigger and better things?

You do realize that the express and only purpose of this server is to preserve the classical EQ environment up through Velious, right? It doesn't matter what guilds are on top or what people think would be fun or useful.

Luclin

Your notion of "better" is not the same as my own. I'm here on P1999 because I regard the post-Velious expansions as garbage. Adding Luclin (and, inevitably, Planes since nobody would want to stop at Luclin) would simply make P99 garbage, too, and drive me away just the same as that rubbish drove me out of the original game. TAKP (and 2002) are already out there for folks who like that period.

Note that Raev was not suggesting adding Luclin, just a few choice mechanics and changes from the 2002 period. His suggestion didn't necessarily garner my support either, but it was reasonable enough.
