    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.

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

    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.

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

    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 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.… Full Review »
