When is next XP weekend?

[Dacien]

We should have more of these! I need to get out of level 45.

Lord Rogean hear my pleas.

[Varren]

whenever someone asks this, they reset the timer back to a year

[quido]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give us xp bonus or I might quit and u don't want that ya feels?

[Tupakk]

If you want custom content and free exp go play live. This is classic, if anything they are going to put a penalty on exp now that you said that.

[Swish]

XP bonus weekends bring out the worst in people, I think we've learnt that by now. I'm sure the staff are queueing up to not have to deal with the pages of petitions about

"Soandso rounded up all the mobs in Oasis and AOE'd them for the guy he was powerleveling while 80 of us can't find anything to kill"

Also don't forget scumbag Chardok AOE goes up to 4k a pull, because u no...

[Bman703]

Lol go play live if you want easy exp most people like necromancers chanters druids charm mobs and sell it to a group in the zone seen that shit happen in karnors castle

[Bman703]

Also another thing about double exp every zone is literally camped nothing for the new players, most people have super twinks with fungis etc and just hog all the exp while there's nothing left for newer players and not mention the bard swarms :/

[Swish]

As an example of players struggling to find a camp, every camp in Kedge Keep was taken when me and some pals were running out of places to check.

[Baler]

How about a Double Faction Weekend?

[Kevris]

Free exp weekend, to what end? So you can play Velious until the end of time with a level 60?

No thank you.

NOT CLASSIC.

[Daywolf]

How about 5x exp blue-pvp weekend?

60 is where characters go to die.... the fun is in the journey <3

For once i agree with this guy.

MMO's are about the journey. Not the destination. If max lvl and raiding was the whole point why even have a world or levels? just make a central hub and portals to raids.

Soloing a Paladin through level 45 is quite a journey. I'm just trying to get to 50 for my weapon proc and spells. It'ok be even slower co from there, but I'll be able to kick my plat farming into high gear.

Need an exp penalty, not bonus. The grind is the fun, people!

I disagree, there's plenty of fun to be had taking tours of Norrath, completing odd quests, scouring dungeons, helping noobs, etc. when 60

Parking your toon at entrance of ToV and logging in for a couple minutes at a time on a batphone to collect dat DKP is really what happens at level 60 on this server. Over the years the play level of the level 60 toons on this server has declined precipitously. There are a lot of people that get to 60 that really shouldn't, and because that can't -actually- play EQ they're perfectly happy warmbodying.

You know what's fun? The log-n-screw mentality of dragon killing on this server. Log in on a batphone, pick the right parked toon, drop the mob, collect DKP, have loot council award loot to the inner circle, log the fuck off. Tons of fun guys.

So now these people somehow are also supposed to think that theres lots of fun to be had helping nubs at lvl 60. Coming from someone that -actually- helps nubs for years now, this is absolutely fucking laughable.

Getting mad over what 15% of the population of this server does. But yes... more exp weekends please.

[Tuljin]

You might want to check your arithmetic, my friend.

Population spike from 1000 to 1400 when dragons are in window because of people waiting at login screen? What's that percentage? How about all the people that -don't- wait at login screen then login for the what-has-become-classic log-and-screw?

How about the....what, four guilds now that "compete" for ToV dragons that can field 80-100 each on a batphone?

How about all the "casual" guilds who over the years have adopted the same toon camping strategy except for every other target besides the ToV dargons?

How about how dead RnF has become due to overt censorship from the guilds?

How about all this coming from someone who remembers very well the time when this was -not- status quo?

The 15% number is misinformation propagated by the hegemony in order to justify fucking up the server and flooding it with high level toons. This percentage is much higher.

[Tuljin]

PS I have two Scepter of Destructions for sale, I won't accept less than 1 million plat

Keep lining up for that loot, nubs

[Fire Beetle]

Ok should I say 15% to 20%? Would you be happier then? When the servers are at the peak roughly 1400 players there are at max 300 people in ToV and that is seriously being generous. Its more like 200 if that. And 3 guilds... hmm what else did you get wrong?

[Fire Beetle]

Also you actually liked RnF when there was trannys and dick pics everytime you woke up in the morning on saturday and sunday? you liked the racial and social unacceptable slurs tossed between guilds over pixels? what kind of community are you trying to promote?

shrug, I've seen stats posted at prime time that show 250 level 60s on with the rest of the server being under-60. and is it really 300 people in ToV at prime time? I've seen close to that many in kael waiting for a vindi spawn or whatever, I guess. but even then 300/1400 isn't too bad for me.

maybe it's a lot of 60s. but I think it's silly to be angry at what a minority of the server does. it's a significant minority, sure. but let people batphone if they want. there's lots of game out there for those who don't, even at 60. some people choose to spend it that way, others go the antonin route. neither is wrong. in the end it's a game.

[Tuljin]

Did you really roll less than 6 months ago?

I promote a community where you can play a fucking videogame without people who impose censorship as a means of lining their own pockets.

I've "been mad" for a long fucking time, friend.

You might wanna check the recent RnF thread that features some old RnF all-stars. Their version of history is quite accurate.

Censorship dude. I'm gonna say whatever the fuck I want to whomever the fuck I want. I've been here enough, I've dealt with everybody in one way or another, and I've "paid my dues."

The community used to be full of people that really had the classic EQ spirit. When I bump into old old time players who come back they can hardly recognize what the server has become. With WoW falling out of popularity over the years (consider in 09 WoW was very much in full swing) the server has become flooded with WoW hold-my-hand nubs.

If you want to be censored and be told when and how to play a fucking video game in order to have the chance at scraps after ~months~ of "contributing" be my fucking guest.

I'll keep doing my thing and working on quests on my own time and getting through the game with relationships with players that I cultivate myself, not by being a number in a zerg and all the profits disproportionately flowing to the top.

And yes, at the end it -is- a game, which is why the draconian imposition of RnF bans and the constant threat of having the pixel faucet turned off by a group of guild leaders that really don't give a shit about anybody makes very little sense to me.

i don't understand people who have to flame and rant to play, personally. so I guess I'm not the target market for your anger here. sorry.

Nobody is the target of anybody's anger here.

~~~~~~~~~~~censorship~~~~~~~~~~~~

Is my point.

The same people ("raid" guild leaders) who somehow have been appointed thought police are the same people working the system to line their pockets and RMT off the server. RMT at Chardok.

Double XP? 4k per pull, scrub.

Its absolute hypocrisy.

ok. sorry you're mad about it. again, not really caring about censorship from rnf. hopefully you'll find an audience.

[Tuljin]

Its not censorship from RnF only, my friend.

Its censorship, period. The principle of censorship. Being censored by hypocrites. Everybody else has followed suit. Your only "contribution" is your attendance and DKP. There is no discussion, no negotiation, no actual contribution unless you've somehow gerbiled your way into the buttholes of your gracious and benevolent leaders.

Sign me the fuck up, sounds great.

so don't join them. I don't really get it I guess. maybe I will later? only been on two and a half years or so.

[Pokesan]

i'm angry

[Tuljin]

I don't join them. I wish everybody else would get hip to the bullshit and not join them, too.

Double XP that toon to 60 so you can get right in line for loot like the rest of them because there is no other choice when you get to end game.

Every guild now whether or not they kill NToV dragons has adopted the same rhetoric. Over the years it has all become the same shit, just some guilds kill only Kunark targets and don't have gear requirements, others kill top dargins and have gear requirements.

Censorship is part of this problem. Without the ability to express yourself you give the thought police free reign to be hypocrites. A lot of people got screwed by the Rampage dissolution, and now hypocrites are selling items they were secretly awarded for exorbitant amounts of plat after "quitting." Many people In Rampage "contributed" and at the end of the day really didn't get shit for drops and got screwed. And nobody gave a single solitary fuck. Then they turn around and sell items people didn't even know they were awarded. They smear shit all over the walls and leave.

Everyone keeps feeding into the bullshit. This server doesn't need more level 60s. The server doesn't need double XP per pull at Chardok and double RMT plat generation. We don't need more level 60s. If you can't stay alive and work with others or by yourself to move your XP bar, you don't get there. That's EQ. Its the way it should be.

And yes, I'm ~so~ mad about videogames. What I'm really mad about is how people let themselves get fucking jerked around to let these assholes do what they want when they want completely unchecked. That is the problem here and not enough people speak up about it. Look where we end up. Open your fucking eyes.

A lot of people who play on this server are probably addicted to this game, but at least some of us who are addicted actually enjoy playing.

No my first instinct after I saw the guild tag was to ask you how much plat they costed you but I tried to refrain since I cannot assume that A Team is the same as it was last time I was on blue.

I dont blame you for not assuming, my friend, however I can guarantee you anybody still flying the A Team tag is from the A Team you remember.

If you really want to give the asshole currently selling the SoDs millions of plat that's your prerogative. I've already personally let him know how I feel about the way he conducts himself. Im also sure he's pissed off many people as well in a true display of his character, which does not surprise me in the slightest.
