People powerleveling is becoming extremely disappointing for someone trying to exp.

[Rayzor84]

Seriously.

I was in Najena at lvl 25 which is slow at that time anyway. It wasn't long before a 48 bard (lmao) is grabbing up all my goblins and spiders. For what? They are extremely green to him, and spiders don't even drop mage focus items if that was the issue.
So I died trying the higher lvl skeletons he left, because charm wouldnt stick.

Upper guk was also rife with plers, and anything I could safely exp in there was shot.

Move on to Sol a. Originally a few guys were in there but I was cool with it, I was killing the young and cinders and they were pling using the higher goblins so np. But then another couple plers moves in shortly after and wipes out all the gobs in the area I was in. Granted I'm not constantly pulling due to mana regen, but i was still there hunting legitimately. So I just camped, having wasted hours of time traveling for no reason. Not only that, but a 46 paladin is wiping bridge goblins that again provide no exp for him.

This is becoming discouraging. It seems the only options are sit on a group waiting list at the crowded zones. Trying to solo or even duo the other zones appropriate for my level (with moderate risk, unlike somewhere like CT) is nearly impossible, and out of the question entirely if it is peak hours. Why are way over leveled toons clearing mobs that give me exp? That one was the most frstrsting. At least in the other cases exp was being had by someone.

[Nisei]

Something, something, red.

[Rayzor84]

Something, something, red.

Yeah I've actually considered red for this reason. Even on live at this stage this didn't happen, these zones would be camped with appropriate groups which would be fine, but here its always plers.

I haven't gone red because my buddy plays blue, and I have like 10k in gear on blue that would not transfer or get a low rate. That and having to lvl over again.

[Blitzers]

Solving this issue, Velious release will give plers something else to do, or any mobs that are green and are not needed for class specific quests/drops make them invulnerable, sure there's some coding out there that could be developed. Obviously there would be issues but hey I'm just throwing the idea out I'm not supposed perfect it

[Bboboo]

At any point did you try talking to these people or did you just come straight to the forums to cry about it?

[loramin]

PLers are just players, and they have to play by the same rules as everyone else. If they are monopolizing content by holding down multiple camps ask them nicely to stick to one and then /petition a GM if they don't. If they're just using a camp spot, what does it matter if they are a PLer or a lower-level character? Your issue is just with the server population, not with PLers.

If you're just having trouble finding somewhere less popular to hunt might I recommend the Per-Level Hunting Guide (http://wiki.project1999.com/Per-Level_Hunting_Guide)?

[kaev]

Sol A goblins drop hq ore that's useful for skilling smithing and also vendors for good prices. It is pretty lame of higher level ore farmers to be taking mobs where level-appropriate chars are trying to do the content tho. Did you try talking to the people? Not every green loot farmer or PLer is an inconsiderate asshat. Some are, of course, but many are very willing to accomodate legit lower level characters.

[Rayzor84]

Ok, I'll meet your veiled insult.

In Najena, I ooc'd and sent tells to the bard who never responded. He left soon after I eventually died.

In uguk, ooc was met with silence.

Sol A first group was a cool bunch so I don't have an issue. After second group came in I left frustrated, didn't say a word.

[Itap]

If your intent is to solo, have you tried going some place that is not populated? I was killing scarecrows the other day in WK and I was the only one in the zone for hours

[Rayzor84]

I'd like to but even on the leveling guide alot of stuff is missing. Mostly it is only the more populated zones. Niche areas like wk I don't even really know about.

[loramin]

After second group came in I left frustrated, didn't say a word.

I don't understand: if you had a camp spot that was working for you, why would you leave? It doesn't matter who comes to the zone, whether they're a group, a single power-leveler, or whoever: once you claim a camp here on P99 it's your's until you give it up, no matter who enters the zone.

It sounds like maybe the real issue here is just that you need to familiarize yourself with the server rules.

[loramin]

I was killing scarecrows the other day in WK and I was the only one in the zone for hours

I just added the scarecrows to the Per-Level Hunting Guide (http://wiki.project1999.com/Per-Level_Hunting_Guide). Does a level range of 17-22 sound right (and do you have any other info about the location I can add)?

[HeallunRumblebelly]

For a while there, I forgot WK existed. SK only Karana worth a shit :P

[Itap]

Perhaps you should do a little exploring then. There are so many zones to level in, don't let a few people power-leveling discourage you.

So for the most part, no.

I have leveled a handful of characters solo and anytime I've had a conflict with someone (which has probably been like 3-5times?) it was resolved by just shooting the guy a tell. Just be chill with each other and treat one another with respect. Both of you have the right to be where you are regardless of exp/loot/rep.

(below isn't directed at you, just my rant)

There's a lot of blame game on the forums and it seems like culmination of

1) Both parties never talking it out, yet both sides are ready with a laundry list of why the other party is in the wrong.
2) Mom and Dad (GMs) haven't gotten to my petition yet/are ignoring me.

The main thing that isn't classic about this server is how some of you don't understand that the more you give the more you receive.

But it's for the good of the server ... plus I doubt me adding this one entry among 100+ others will suddenly drive a slew of competition to the oh-so-popular zone of West Karana ;)

And thanks, I'll add a note about the fear proc.

[Buellen]

level 25 zones of top of my head which can be handle solo by most classes.

south karana, warsilk woods, swamp of no hope (by zone to tracks teeth), frontier mountains zone walls and buranyi caves <if you maintained their faction>.

Edit

Chasing the best xp zone mod solo can lead to running into tons of PL and general congestion.

is it better to solo at slow but safe pace or to to take on the risk with better zone mod and having to complete with other for mobs.

[Zuranthium]

I think PL-ing should be killed (put a hard cap on the % of exp able to be gained per hour and per day, such that fits in with most that could possibly be expected of people for their given level range, if they were actually playing the game as it's meant to be played), but this is doesn't help:

I'd like to but even on the leveling guide alot of stuff is missing. Mostly it is only the more populated zones. Niche areas like wk I don't even really know about.

Explore! There's plenty of info about the level of monsters in zones, so just look for that and go there. I take it you're an enchanter, yes? That gives you tons of possibilities.

Also, go red server. Starting there now, you'll get to level 50+ faster than if you stay on blue.

Kunark dungeons should find you some space and time(sans Kurns). I did Kaesora, Dalnir, Nurga, Droga, for years here and didn't ever see someone getting a power level.

They'll probably go do it now!

[mokfarg]

Yes let's make the already ridiculously and unnecessarily long leveling process even longer for no reason!

I will play the devil's advocate, yes power leveling does speed up your leveling. Would you agree that the slow leveling you hate and are avoiding by power leveling in popular zones is slowing it down even more for people that do not have the resources to power level themselves?

Bummer for them right? I do support a way to prevent power leveling when this server goes custom personally. I also support ways of encouraging grouping more over solo such as larger group xp bonuses such as red has now.

[fadetree]

Yes let's make the already ridiculously and unnecessarily long leveling process even longer for no reason!

Isn't that kind of why we play here? I mean most of us are here exactly because of things like the leveling process being long and unforgiving. Live has ruined itself by eliminating 'problems' like this. I am not in favor of trying to eliminate powerleveling, don't get me wrong, but anyone who feels like you seem to might want to reconsider what game they're playing.

[webrunner5]

Man other than a few spots leveling in WK without having Track is not my idea of fun. I hate having to even run through that zone! :p

I sympathize with folks that there are stages of the game that aren't as much fun to play as others and they'd prefer to just rush through those.

But I encourage people to just be more creative about it all. If you have the plat to powerlevel, why not just research/experiment hunting in different areas or ways? This is limited by class since you can only twink certain classes so much, but...Paying someone else to essentially rush you through part of the game always felt like it diminished the value of the experience.

Now if you have guildies who will powerlevel your shaman from like 14 to 34, I completely understand. Those levels are f-ing annoying as a shaman.

[Feanol]

Damn socialists! You would dare question the self regulating free market system?

You think just you can walk into a server and demand the establishment give you an equal share!?

These enterprising soldiers of Norrath you slander have fought long and made partnerships to be in a position to receive the benefits of power leveling.

You whiners need to pick yourselves up by your bootstraps like any young man or woman making their way. Keep your Communist fantasies to yourselves!

[azeth]

I understand I'm not in your shoes as a true lowbie/noobie, but at least there are people playing on the server.

Would you rather log into a server and have your pick of camps, but no one to group with/socialize with?

Or would you rather have a vibrant community and have to deal with other folks camping/killing the same stuff you intended to?

It's funny, but this "issue" could not possibly be any more "classic."

The first time we all logged onto EverQuest (unless you played Ultima Online before that) in 1999, you found out quickly that the environment and its spoils are shared.

The first time I logged in I learned that lesser mummies got trained from the Nektulos wizard portal

And that you couldn't find that corpse at night time

Because while you were unconscious your body would slide up against some dark as fuck tree

I can still hear the clicking of fire beetle trains murdering my brethren as slowly but surely I gave up on ever finding that corpse with the soiled guild robe

[Messianic]

I petitioned them and they basically told me to move somewhere else. Not cool.

I doubt they did this if there was a true disruption to the zone. If they're powerleveling in a section of the zone and there's plenty of mobs still open for you and whomever, they shouldn't have to stop and give you their little section.

[August]

I dunno I've been in uguk for the past week or so and had several 'my level' groups and have only seen maybe 1 powerleveler who was at heart spiders. I think you got unlucky.

Arbitrary? Looks like your bot dictionary/thesaurus is failing you there buddy.

Power leveling is bad for the game and not "classic" either. In 1999 everyone was focused on their own characters and when people made alts they didn't get power leveled. They might put together some starting gear (which would be, like, banded armor and a minotaur axe) and guildies might throw a couple buffs on someone's alt, but that was it.

[Red_Psyphon]

You think you get to level in the same zones champions PL in?? Yer ass must be crazy!

[Jimjam]

That's because by the server rules only static spawns can be camped. 'Camping' areas with roamers is fine by gentleman's agreement, but if a couple of high level dicks come along you'll have no rules on your side.

[Thugnuts]

At level 25 you should be camping the bard in East Freeport.

For those who want to level to 60 ASAP, that's fine even though you are racing past the best part of the game and into the most boring, ie raids and EC tunnel.

But don't sit in a zone powerleveling to race to 60 at the expense of players who actually want to exp and enjoy the game. Your decision to hog a zone with a bunch of level appropriate characters in it is selfish and slows down or halts their gaming experience altogether. What it boils down to is a bunch of ass holes being selfish when there's a group or two of people just trying to exp a zone.

Want to pl? Go to CT or some other barren zone. Don't do that shit in places like Sol a where the rest of us can hunt the way the game was intended to be played.

Also I'm calling out Olsen and his entire guild. Dude is clearing young goblins solo at 40 and causing train after train, get better at eq dude.

[Emile]

Enjoy the journey, that's why you're here.

Or is it to hit 60 asap and play "Online Economy Simulator" perhaps?

The first character or two, ok I can understand enjoying the journey because it's fresh and new. But when you're on your alt's alt's alt, then the leveling process becomes pretty tedious. Maybe I'm alone on this, but the lowbie life is not fun. Killing 500 level 15 goblins to eke out a level does not have me sitting on the edge of my seat. I'm trying to get to level 50ish as fast as possible so I can do more interesting and difficult content.

[Shawthis]

Also I'm calling out Olsen and his entire guild. Dude is clearing young goblins solo at 40 and causing train after train, get better at eq dude.

The time I spent with Olsen involved exactly one train, which was a result of the other power level group's pull mixing in with ours. We had also been there for quite some time before you or other "appropriate" leveled players were there. Notice how we left pretty much right after you mentioned us "interrupting" you? We were not in the wrong; The only people in the zone were a high level enchanter, two power level groups and a couple solo players who arrived far after we did. But we still left to give you guys the place.

Instead of approaching us with even a hint of decency or consideration, you just immediately moaned in /ooc as if we were bad guys. Send us a tell. We will more than likely work with you as we have with countless others in the past.

Or continue to just immediately cry and feel bad for yourself while "calling us out"..... what ever that means.

OOCs are many times ignored, and some players even hide OOC from visible windows while grinding. I would suggest next time politely asking by sending a tell, you will surely have better results. Most players are pretty cool, even some bards :D

I think you are talking about someone else, I didn't do any of that. I'm talking about him being there SOLO, no one else with him. And I didn't ooc him. He actually rude emoted me thinking I killed his train when I zoned and a 60 killed it. But those are 2 separate incidents I'm talking about, and neither of them is what u are talking about.

Olsen is a nuisance on his own. I've encountered him multiple times and none of them was a positive or even neutral experience.

The time I did see u with him, I logged in and got trained 1 min later. My buddy came to duo with me a minute later and we got trained a second time. He decided to rude emote me for killing a train that he caused and clearly couldn't have handled, when in fact I zoned bc the train agroed my charmed pet. I zone back in, a 60 had killed the train, and Olsen rudes me for somehow as a solitary 26 enchanter mowing down his train of fire, cinder, and inferno goblins which is ridiculous. Your entire guild is known for noob playstyles, trains, and attempted camp stealing. That's what I meant when I said I wouldn't even bother with Shadows further. I proceeded to peace the fuck out and went to duo in paw/KFC for sick exp. Whole encounter from login to port took ten minutes.

Aren't you Toxic/Toxoplasma or what ever? I am pretty sure we are talking about the same time. I was there for the rude gesture. He was not solo. It was not a train, it was a pull that we successfully killed. He was going out of his way to level up two RL friends who are picking up EQ for the first time in 10+ years. I was the Druid helping out.

Regardless, I have no hard feelings over what happened. Olsen is actually a good guy who spends most of his time helping others. Sorry you seem to experience otherwise.

Not condoning power levelling, but with all the healers/casters/SKs in CT is it really a viable place to PL?

[towbes]

I haven't read this whole thread because I have not had the same experience at all. To add my two cents to the well:

I am a little biased since I am able to play in off peak times pretty regularly (GMT+6.5), but in my experience when a PLer was in the area and pulling an entire zone, a friendly tell or /ooc of where I am camping and how many mobs I was soloing is all that it took. They left a couple for me and we both were happy.

[applesauce25r624]

If your intent is to solo, have you tried going some place that is not populated? I was killing scarecrows the other day in WK and I was the only one in the zone for hours

outdoor doors are bard zones

People are so soft here compared to live. CT had the same shitty mobs in 1999 and I remember that place always being packed on Povar, with lists for temple\gator groups and everything. Here it's basically always empty because it doesn't satisfy the min\max equation of optimal videogame success.

[Jimjam]

I wasn't suggesting not levelling regularly in CT; I've done it and the xp on top of the pyramid is great!

I just imagining it is a pretty poor place to PL.

Gators are good for PLing via Druid or Shaman DS. Actually I've Shaman PLed pulling the TR and Maze as well as long as you have junk buffs up and a clicky you don't get your DS dispelled too much, and none of the other spells land. Very good zone for PLing 20-30+ because generally the only people there are deep in the zone or running from wiz portal.

Im not sure why everyone levels at the same spots, so many great spots where you see no one for hours ever.

[JackFlash]

I've PL'd multiple classes in CT.....on a wizard. rune, spam temp staff, exp. Best part is it's empty :)

[Swish]

Man red is great, tons of extra zones to play in if the main ones are all full up, and the group bonus makes power leveling either pointless, or they'll invite you along for it.

The amount of times I've seen people sweep Unrest clean of mobs for the sake of 1 person paying to get PL'ed, its ridiculous.

Glad people are enjoying their "classic EverQuest experience" when they pay for these services.

Personally I'd summon them to Erud's Crossing and disable their gate/port spells for 2 hours (if that were possible) ;)

I PL'ed my own bard recently... went from 1-15 really quick, didn't disrupt any zones and even helped the new players in the process. How? Bought CB belts, lots of them.

Permaban all bards; they always ghost nine times out of ten anyway!
