The new features and additions give this game more replayability than the combination of all the single player games collecting dust on my shelf.

To really enjoy Luclin, you need at least 512 megs of RAM, and if your computer is slower than 1.5 Ghz, you will need to turn off the models in a raid situation. [Feb 2002, p.99]

The Shadows of Luclin expansion has enhanced an already rich game experience immensely.

IGN
The best of the three EverQuest expansions. The dynamic zone mechanics in the game are excellent and truly breathe new life into a nearly three-year-old game and that is exactly the job of an expansion.

Luclin also has some of the most demanding system requirements of any PC game ever released...[It's] easily the biggest, most significant EverQuest expansion yet.

Luclin's quest structure is EQ's best yet. [Apr 2002, p.90]

The model by which all other acronyms are judged.

All of this comes at a price; that game has what may be the steepest system requirements ("I need how much RAM?") of any product in the history of computer gaming.

Climb aboard if your system has the juice. [Mar 2002, p.58]

The game is an odyssey, a huge epic that has the ability to swallow your gaming time in a terrifying and seductive manner.

Nikola T. gave it a 3:
Okay, the developers at Verant finally had time to try to correct the horribly bad engine for Everquest and also add a bit of depth to the game.. there was no real change if you negate those that they made to the "devoted players" which spend the more than 100 days it takes to get into the "uber" levels. The verdict? Shadows of Luclin, along with Everquest, is far from "phat lewt" and may God have mercy on the soul of anyone who supports it.

Zkoris S. gave it a 10:
This game is very exciting fun but is a very times taking game...as it says on the back of the Kunark version buy this for a family member or a friend if you never want to see them again...they will always be at the computer waiting for more time to play this amazing game.
