Switching Over

[indiscriminate_hater]

Hey guys,

I’ve been playing blue for a while, got my bard up to 57 before I realized that I’ve been missing the one thing that made classic EQ so damn fun and addicting back in the day – the fear of rage-inducing death. It’s just not the same playing PVE with years of experience and knowledge of the game.

I’m planning on rolling something or another and had a few questions. Apologies if these are answered frequently.

1) PVP item looting is disabled, but coins are lootable, correct?
2) 1.5x experience gain for all classes?
3) PVP is enabled after level 5?
4) PVP is limited to +/- a certain number of levels from you?
5) Any other relevant rules I’m missing?

coin only, no exp loss on pvp death

not sure exact exp rate but yeh its fast

pvp starts at level 2 (in theory, actually seeing another level 2 might be rare with exp bonus)

+/- 4 levels til 20, then +/- 6 til 40, then you're in the big times with +/- 8
(lower level's range is used, meaning level 20 isn't in range to level 15

ooc is global (& retarded)

Thanks for reply. What's the deal with some mob damage and some PVP damage? If i'm beating up a mob and somebody comes by and blasts me how does exp loss work? Is it if PVP damage is >50% or something?

i can already tell, go back to blue.

Killing hit determines EXP loss. If Mob kills you, you get standard PVE death. If player gets last hit, you get PVP death with no EXP loss but no rez ability.

There is a 1.5x bonus to exp plus a scaled bonus from 1-50 to help people through the beginner levels. Once you hit 50 it is classic exp x 1.5. You should be able to level up to 30 pretty quick.

All characters get the bonus but the hybrid and race penalties still apply.

whatever finishes you off decides type of death/penalty

look how helpful red players are lol
4 ppl answered this question at the same time

[indiscriminate_hater]

Good stuff, see you all out there.

[Malice_Mizer]

Tempting. But low pop makes it seem inconceivable.

[Gustoo]

Pop is fine and fixed rules have inspired more players to play. Self fullfilling prophecy to not play because of low pop. Rather play 20 population red than 2000 pop blue.

[Nirgon]

^ with the changes Nilbog wants to get to, yes

[indiscriminate_hater]

Coming from blue, the lower red pop seems like a plus

[Shrubwise]

It is.

[solid]

all population concerns will be alleviated by the imminent wipe

[Faerie]

Welcome! :)

[Faerie]

No joining due to low pop is a catch-22 :(

[Nirgon]

Damned if you do

Damned if you don't

[Agatha]

shit reminds me of trying to get a full house broken alliance in wc3. I call them joiner-leavers.

everyone joins, see's that the game is nowhere near full house (12 players) and leaves.

well guess what retard. if everyone who was sitting on the sidelines waiting, actually logged in, then the pop would BE up. fucking retard.

everyone just being lil highschool girls rly. got more people then nihi, can easily win with zerg, just 2 many people r 1 pump chumps.

[Holey]

Damned if you do

Damned if you don't

i can tell you this is a perfect quote.

I came over from blue myself right when kunark came out.
Damn i must say it does have its up and downs.
but just love the game you play, youll love the server, (especially if you like pvp)
but only bad thing about this server is the massive trolls/bullies here.:p

If you need any help PM me.
