    Its definitely Luke Lynn. Ngreth must have misspoke.
  8. Cyphren Journeyman

    Luck-lin is what voiced mobs in game that refer to it say, so luck-lin is correct.

    Maybe we should as Little Richard or Kenny Rogers how it should be pronounced...
  12. Zunar Augur

    Luclin is the name of the goddess.
    I'm thinking feminine name like Lucy.
    Just drop the y and add lin.
    Loose-lin.
    Luck-lin sounds masculine to me..doesn't work at all ;p

    I was on team looselin back when it was current, but the evidence for lucklin is overwhelming.

    Actual EQ trailers have always said LUCK LIN, there is and never was any debate. Also, rules of language are:

    A soft C, pronounced as an S sound requires the C be followed by a vowel. A consonant behind a C is called a backer and forces a hard C . pronounced like K.

    Plus, the trailers for original Luclin and the new expansion both say it correctly, IN the trailers,

    There is no debate beyond the quality of education.

    This. In all instances where the game or company ever said it out loud, it has always been Luck - Lin.

    lol These pronunciation wars always make me giggle. The best are when you get to the GoD zones and some deities. Never did quite get the Luclin one, since it's pretty much always been known but people still argue.
