Luclin was classic, PoP was not.

Yup - that.

I can appreciate that people always want more content - but that just turns this into a live progression server.

There are obviously issues with p99. It has proven to be a perfect social experiment in why modern MMOs need to have instanced raids.

However, for the people that haven't jumped in and exhausted the content, the server is great at capturing that original EQ feel. I started in 2013 here and even at that point the end game was exhausted. I still had a perfect experience leveling up and getting to complete my gear sets like I did back in 99/2000.

Then, it got stale so I walked away. Oh well - that should somewhat be the expectation with a server designed to be stuck in time.

Change my mind. Yeah i know brad/aradune left, but eventually I'd love a server to just let us play up to Luclin.

TAKP will likely remain in Luclin for quite awhile before PoP is released [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] .

On E'ci, EC was still the hotspot until the merchant/seller thing happened

I didn't play enough luclin - but for me, the bazaar killed a huge part of the game.

Yep, that is what I been talking about, most of the convenience, ends up destroying most incentives for more meaningful human interaction.

P99 being permalocked, perhaps with some addition or revamp of classic zones, is the way for me to keep the original eq spirit alive.

Anything else is just trying to emulate LIVE and that is in my very personal opinion the wrong path.

The more classic the better[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Adding completely new additions, or revamps, to classic zones is more classic than releasing classic Luclin.

Wut?

Wut?

In regards to keeping as much as possible and feasible to classic while trying to advance, but not going towards luclin?

If this were true classic there would be no gnome SKs for example.

That is all. I do not think anyone here believe this is 100% classic, but a version as close to classic, yet people want to progress, so I believe the best compromise is some revamps of classic zones as the lmit [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hope that is understood?

Personally though I even believe Velious is a bit much haha, I just love the old world and Kunark mostly.

Cheers!

Yeah that was a ton of fun. Even before PoP there was always a good amount of people on Bertoxx server brawling in the Freeport arena. Great times. Bazaar arena would get crazy.

Some of the most fun I had in EQ was in bazaar arena and dueling in EC. Nobody ever duels in EC here tho. Was a constant thing to have a bunch of people dueling near shady on Emarr.
