A similar language rule applies for making a hard vowel, like U being OO and not UH sound, that the following consonant is backed by another vowel. Like the E in Ice, As the C in Luclin is backed by a consonant, it forces a passive U (uh) sound and a hard C (k) Bucking (and other similarly spelled words /grin) are consistent with these rules. It's never booking or boosing, it's buckin'
Oh, next thing you know you will be pulling out sentence diagrams on us! (for those of us old to know what those are)
Ghirardelli and Karmen-Ghia like this post. (The H is there to make the G hard) Gear-ar-del-ee, not Jeer-ar-del-ee I may not have any diagrams, but know a properly placed consonant can make a G hard.

ALL follow the vowel / consonant / vowel pattern to produce the OO sound in the words. You can list as many rhymes and derivitives as you like, a consonant followed by a consonant makes the preceding vowel flat. /wanders off down the hallway singing Rolliing Stones ....

I accept that the official pronunciation is "luck-lin". However, I am an old dog and am unable to learn new tricks. It'll always be "loose-lin" to me.
but it is Luck-lin! Luck-lin, Luck-lin, Luck-lin, Luck-lin, Luck-lin, Luck-lin, Luck-lin, Luck-lin, Luck-lin!
loose-lin loose-lin loose-lin loose-lin loose-lin loose-lin loose-lin loose-lin loose-lin loose-lin loose-lin loose-lin loose-lin loose-lin loose-lin loose-lin loose-lin loose-lin!
lol, i considered doing it a 100 times but was afraid that would get me in trouble... if we can't agree on how to pronounce the luclin, how are we ever going to tackle the big issue like how to pronounce Doljonijiarnimorinar ?
You know when your mind "knows" what the word is and what it means and represents, even though you can't pronounce it and struggle over it a few times. Eventually your mind sees the word, acknowledges it and understands it, but no longer attempts to pronounce it. That way. lol
Sorry, you can hit me with every diagram and argument you want. Its Loose-lin... The expansion where we got Lucid Shards. We know devs get it wrong, and we cant blame them. Case and point the current patches in game. We just have to re-educate them and hope they recant their erroneous ways.
One of my favorite shows. I've watched a bunch of them on Youtube. I was sad when I heard about Sean. He was enjoyable to watch, as is Rachel Riley.
