Save EQ PvP -- BOOST XP

[gloinz]

Made a character on Red 99. Spent three days playing in empty zones, completely solo, not so much as a whisper of another human being. Realized I could do the same thing in Skyrim, camped out and turned on the Xbox. Didn't miss it, but do miss EQ Live PvP servers.

Moral of the story: Red 99 needs more people, because as much fun as you high-level toons that launched the server are having smack talking your PvP skills....brand new players are completely turned off by this ghost town of an experience.

People who start on the box in a ghosttown of course don't want to sink 20 days played before they can have pvp, and the pop has continued to dwindle as evidence of this fact.

Everquest red is a ghost town for pvp and pve. Folks are faced with the dilemma of never leveling, or killing the one person close to your level like a pvp champ and leveling solo forever. We the people want pvp like we were promised in the smedy pvp video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YF8QTB9xna0), and to have that we need to consolidate our dwindling pop by having everyone close to the same level.

This can be done by scaling xp so that most people can get to at least 42-50 easily, or just a thorough xp boost across the board.

BOOST XP SAVE EVERQUEST PVP

100% agree

[heartbrand]

Agree 100%, cue the Nihilum members who don't want competition @ the top saying how exp is classic and they're lovin it

[aborted]

I think a xp boost till 35 is better than straight xp boost to 50, also like the idea of hot spots.

[Vermouth]

Exp increase across the board.

Maybe add an exp bonus that doesn't change every level ie level 1-20 100% exp, 21-30 75%, 31-40 50%, and 41-50 25%. It will still take some time at the higher levels but it's better than what we have now and it's not something outrageous like 100% exp from 1-50. And I would reverse exp penalties for hybrids and maybe add it to all mellee classes. Give an incentive for people to make a mellee and for people to group with one.

Vermouth post is decent, but just remove hybrid penalty and see how that goes before throwing 10x exp rates...

I have a better idea - we could have a temporary exp bonus and advertise the shit out of it. Supposedly Heresy is coming back, and some others might be interested in the exp boost. Make it last an unspecified amount of time, but not actually forever. Temporary exp bonuses are fine, we got those all the time on blue and even on red at launch. That way the server doesn't permanently become ezmode but you can stimulate the population in the short-term.

[Vohl]

Current XP isn't bad. Not to sound like a broken record, but running mobs need it dialed back a bit so some classes can get any XP at all. Halfway between the current speed and pre-nerf speed would be fine.

[Tassador]

1-50 100% exp boost plus all mobs with "a decaying skeleton" randomly drops no drop sky loot. But just until pop gets up then take it off and make it classic for new comers HEHEHE.

killed 5 giant skeletons-------- got 6% of my level 31

Any outdoor zone in a Hell level is far from ideal. Try Mistmoore/Unrest/UGuk/SolA or Najena skeletons.

I like how you cryptically suggest that what I'm saying isn't true, but offer no proof for why this is the case. Rexx was sporting a Heresy tag, said something like "it has begun" in ooc, and explicitly said that he would be bringing Heresy over. Also I'm not in Nihilum and I have no ulterior motive for what I posted except that I am interested in seeing the server succeed, whereas you're just interested in turning the server into a place where you can train opposing guilds with impunity because you fail miserably at pvp.

[hagard]

[s1ckness]

xp so hard

[Akim]

100% Agree. Been soloing my ogre SK to 30+ range, it's taken 6+ days /played. I'd like it if new players could get in the same range in 1 day played. I did have one good pvp battle with Vominotep yesterday. I'd like more of those.

6 days is not much dude! you've got a 63%? negation too. this is everquest. not WoW
i mean you'll be told you're a noob for not getting a PL -- but those people don't even have fun and end up quitting anyway because if you don't like leveling you probably don't like close to legit EQ..

[Vile]

The Emperor has raised the Heresy flag? I will raid for Rexx loot again if XP is boosted.

Time to lay down the battle axe.

[gloinz]

listen folk on a real man pvp server where you could train and kill anyone at any level you could stop at a level like level 31 where im at now and go pkay some girlymen pretty much anywhere (but the pvp champ would goto nektulos and grief greenie becauses thats what champs do)

if that was possible i would b content to have classic eq xp

however this box isn't classic its a ghostbox

on this dead box not only is it not possible to find any consistent pvp at level 30, its not possible to find a group to level up in a group based game. thus spend 30 years leveling solo or complain about xp and not play box being the options atm

btw training allows young revolutionary's to stand against the zerg armies and do some damage at the cost of their lives like noble pvp champ suicide bombers. best part is there is no need for gm's to arbitrarily enforce rules. george washington trained the british to found america, he didn't sit down and slap the british with a glove and challenge them to a duel like a bluebie

A /duel death is not the same as a regular pvp death. On classic pvp servers a normal kill didn't give YT. Also lots of people who have lives are perfectly okay with the exp rate, it just means you take longer to get to 50 (which isn't the only goal in this game). It's not like everyone who got to 50 in classic had no life.

You have to be careful asking for an exp boost, if the exp were boosted too much then bans would be meaningless. I think a temporary bonus to boost the population is probably better.

same terrible argument devs use.. sure some people might level chars just to train but honestly who gonna keep doing that over and over... no one asking for an instant.. Beta xp was almost slow enough to deter this big bluebie fear.

More bluebie fear tactics killing server so bluebies can farm pixels on 40 person server w.o sharing with other guilds.

Bluebie fear tactics? What? See you can't be mature for two seconds yet you expect the devs to listen to all of your demands. I'm not saying people will level characters just to train or 2-box, but if they get banned for boxing it shouldn't take them only a day to get back to level 50. If you aren't asking for 10x exp then fine, I'm not referring to you. I'm just saying the safest way to avoid this problem is to make the next exp bonus temporary.

[mostbitter]

increas rarity in all drops with high possibility to not drop items and increase exp equal amount everyone wins am i rite

tks, but we already knew that, just trying to make the case for a server wide pvp death msg.. wouldnt hurt anything except some feelings. Not sure how many of you talk to noobs but those of you crying abt population need to consider a boost to xp.

Xp boost will help new players on the server who have no one to group with and have to solo. I have talked to several new players in recent weeks, and most players are quitting before level 20 (3 that I know of) because if difficulty to find groups / xp rates and lack of dedicated play times.(if you play late night like some, youre on your own) I'm not saying make this the ez server, but we want to pvp, not grind away for months on a ghost server.

[hagard]

Been lfg for 6 days, totally classic amirite

GLOINZ the PVP CHAMP, my axe is yours


Hot zones would be cool. At least then even if the exp rate is shitty and the population is shitty, most of the players are in the same zones instead of completely spread out.

XP rates are already increased. You need to find something else to cry about, pussies.

They had a chance to do something about plugging, the general consensus from the bads(read: red wannabes from VZTZ who rely on plugging as much as they do exploiting) is that plugging is A-OKAY.

Like most of the ideas they come up with, they're flat out retarded. Plugging is fucking stupid and they need to force characters to stand there for at least 30-60 seconds to get owned for being a faggot.

[Rydar]

I started playing casually and remade heresy about a week or two ago, exp sucks even with a PL. the server is still kind of lifeless although ooc has helped a lot. Kunark and xp boost need to get tossed in. Need to save this server while it still has so much potential.

Knew you would not last on a classic server. No one is suprised you found it too hard at release (with 500 others playing) and no one is suprised you found it too hard now (with double xp and PLing).

Classic red EQ is just not for you. Try wow battlegrounds?

[SearyxTZ]

Gonna need you not to hate on VZTZ Box Legend Rexx or PvP Champ Gloinz. They both wanna play here and kill people. Nothing wrong with that.



There have been a lot of good changes in the past few months. Not to feed the WIPE IT CLEAN fires, but I really do wish this server could be the one that launched. And the past 6 months were extended beta.

Don't really know/care what will SAVE THE SERVER at this point. Everyone has their own armchair quarterback idea or "solution" of what will work.

More than anything it's probably just a matter of when it rains it pours. I haven't checked back in because I'm waiting for the population to actually move in the right direction. But if everyone keeps that mindset then it's kind of a catch 22 where it's only going to drop.

This would imply that I wanted to get past level 33.



I'm fascinated by the fact that you found difficulty in leveling up, though. Personally, I'd put the level of challenge somewhere in between watching paint dry and making a ham sandwich. Certainly much easier than reading any of your posts.

what Sear said. the problem isnt grinding out xp (cept for pure melees without a group), the problem was some of us arent bound to wheel chairs and are employed/have lives outside the box. also most of us dont give a damn about killing naggy or clearing hate, we just wanna kill people.

Great, and your desired playstyle on this server is valid. Please message the toon Solider in game for tips on killing people around lvl 15 (if getting past 15 is too hard for you), or message "the beast that lurks within unrest" (Jebikn??) for tips on pvp/killling people around lvl 35 (if getting past 35 is too hard for you).

Enjoy the pvp, others are.

If grinding to 50 is just not for you, thats ok man. Classic EQ is about the journy, enjoy the lower level pvp like the players mentioned above.

If you are too lazy to get to lvl 15 and join Solider in crushbone pvp then............... classic red EQ just may not be for you. Try a wow battleground.

[SamwiseRed]

although killing naked nubs in crushbone sounds exhilarating, I think I'll pass. i pvped around lvl 30 for a month. thankfully I had a druid and was able to port around and track, otherwise I would have rarely pvped anyone. some people here just to pvp, not take a journey on a 13 year old fantasy mmo. EQ was one of the best games of all time but shit changes. I am no longer in middle school with the ability to kill the same mob repeatedly for hours on end for few yellow bubs of xp. EQ grinding is so damn predictable in the way mobs work that its pretty much like playing farmville. the pvp was fun but after griefing highkeep and rivervale for a month it got old.

its nothing against the server or admins at this point. I never played blue so when I came here I guess I was expected the same experience i had when i was a kid. it has nothing to do with laziness and everything to do with boredom/time investment. eq isnt hard, there is a wiki for every single aspect of the game, thousands of guides and probably just as many exploits. if you think eq is hard you must be retarded and may god have mercy on your soul.

[Rydar]

yeah classic red EQ is just not for you. Good luck with your next game.

[Vulpix]

classic red EQ doesn't work in Eqemu you dumb ******.

It's obvious by the population.

The true EQ fans are happy just to have a red classic EQ server. Population rises and falls. We are just at a low point due to finals/season/other games and people waiting for more content.

We will see those 300+ players online again once Kunark is released.

for once i semi agree with you. I believe kunark will bring people, may not be 300+ but will def be around 200 for a bit. first few weeks, field of bone will look like fight club with all the iksar monks running around pvping.

The only thing Gloinz has been doing is crying about how hard EQ is and spending more time in mspaint than leveling, then crying more about how hard EQ is.

To me the fact that i come here 2 weeks later and still find Harrison shitting up the threads is more telling about the lack of interest devs have in the server than people starting threads about please do something about the new bloods logging on to empty zones.

Its sad but some people gave solutions to tweak the server when it launched, revive the server when it failed, on a platter.

Devs too entrenched in wtf do these guys know, its a free server, blablabla

Kunark wont do shit, new people will sign on, get wtfownedxploss by the ancient twinks and quit, then it will be back to dead pop in no time.

Like i said. A million times.

[Nirgon]

Guys, the truth about XP is you're either lucky there's any boost at all or such a generous one.

Even if the current xp was doubled from what it is now, you STILL won't get lvl 50 and full gear in a week of hard playing.

Suck it up, make a class that can solo if you're so inclined to play here.

So many of these "MY FUCKING HALF ELF WARRIOR, MY LIFE" threads. Even worse some of you are druids complaining.. do you know how many levels you can get between North and South Karana and then Oasis? Lul.

Suck it up and kill some fucking Freeport guards like almost everyone else. XP was a joke even at full. Time consuming? Sure. Hard? Are you retarded?

Lady Lethdar was able to smoke like 5 levels with a druid in Freeport (hint charm a rogue NPC) like it was nothing. EL TEW PEE.

This. Wake up devs, we aren't teenagers that can poopsock our lives away on this game anymore. Focus on the pvp, not the tedious timesinks that no one gives a shit about

Agree 100%, cue the Nihilum members who don't want competition @ the top saying how exp is classic and they're lovin it

Welcome to EverQuest *tutorial Voice*

[Nirgon]

So all the people on blue are? The population is the problem not the xp.


How much of a bonus do you need? Instant 50? Then people will complain about no one to camp gear with.

Classic EQ was a grind, there's an xp curve... which I've come to agree with due to xp loss on death / the pop.

the population is leaving because of the grind, the exp. your wrong nirgon. You just on this server and see no one around, no groups, just you alone in the zone. Then you get 2 percent a blue kill at level 9. Yea right dude, everyone here has done the grind. If you think this game is about the grind, then I think blue is perfect for you. Not looking for instant 50, but just make it faster for PVP sake. Nirgon you have not logged on server and quit some time, therefor I dont see how you know what server needs?

[mostbitter]

there is a lot of room between exp now and instant 50, a further boost would likely bring in more players. people on both sides argue in extremes and the discussion isn't productive. i'd be interested to see another boost.

Server will die with no boost of XP and or boxing.

People grind to 50, PvP, raid, get bored or annoyed, and leave the server. Being able to see your XP bar move is good, but too much XP just accelerates player churn. As long as a PC can get visible XP movement, the rate isn't a problem.

Crappy community and inability to solo content due to zany mob running AI are both big issues on this server. I think the community is slowly coming around as the worst of the server moves on to other things.

[Soldier]

yes exactly boost in exp means more pvp the problem you have is everyone that is 50, 80percent in nihilum, and rest log on just to raid and get off. Everyone else is just trying to grind to get to to 50, which is not happening because they want pvp. Yes there is pvp in unrest once in a while or inside CB, or your 1vs1 skirmish u run across here and there. Everyone i talk to logs on sees no one on, thinks exp is to slow to invest any time sticking around. it will never happen though and population will stay dead. the number 1 problem is staff communication with playerbase

Out of touch with reality on fake EQ. Oh, the irony.

Knew you would not last on a classic server. No one is suprised you found it too hard at release (with 500 others playing) and no one is suprised you found it too hard now (with double xp and PLing).

Classic red EQ is just not for you. Try wow battlegrounds?

Sure buddy, keep spouting that shit. Meanwhile red99 peaks at 61 people 30 of which are in the same guild. Sounds so much fun, afk bowflexing

[Not_Kazowi]

cool stories. i have tried several times to get into the server, its just not happening. There just is not enough of a player base to make my time investment worth it. I mean this classic thing is just NOT working. VZTZ xp may have been a little bit too fast but at least there was constantly pvp and always someone to go fuck with.


harrison and every other troll - i dont care what you say so please waste your time moving your fat fingers over your keyboard.

Most people agree that xp is slow. Like kable and others have said, we arent able to spend 10 hours a day online anymore, make the server more capable of being casually played

[Rydar]

make the server more capable of being casually played


Try WoW. This EMU is supposed to recreate the 1999 era EQ game, not max level pew pew in a week.

A straw man is a component of an argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position. To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.

Heartbrand, you and Rex should roll toons on a WoW server together imo.

[heartbrand]

An ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"), short for argumentum ad hominem, is an attempt to negate the truth of a claim by pointing out a negative characteristic or belief of the person supporting it. Ad hominem reasoning is normally described as a logical fallacy.

[jdklaw]

For everything you do.

For working on something that is not your 9-5 job.

For providing a place of nostalgia and doing your best at keeping it up.

For keeping it free.

i love the sig about coming to classic EQ and crying about it being classic, it makes me laugh and it applies to blue too. lol. but alas it is irrelevant because.....the red server population is not classic.

classic EQ was fun because more then 50 people played it. pvp servers were fun because when you could not group or did not have time, you could pvp, bored? pvp. bored of pvp? group, grind, get gear, run around help someone or hurt someone.yay. I played blue (on emarr) but enjoyed the many funs adventures of pvp on non-raid days.

I've spent many months observing these forums, I find the subculture of nerds still gettin all wet about EQ fascinating - and I know i'll get called a bluebie faggot or whatever- You all shit talk each other, that's great I'm into that , but some of you are still 'PVP'ing when this is a forum and isn't actually everquest if any of you had stopped to notice. People present ideas in a very well thought manner and they still get replied with grief like you're still logged in.

those who are bitching about exp have a valid reason to complain. How can those who want to pvp, want to aid the population of this server by playing when it's not the pvp that griefs us but the lack of players in general that this game REQUIRES to function to its full potential.

the exp boost was a nice addition, but I can't even notice it fighting blues 1 level below me at level 8. if I manage to take on a yellow I believe I perceive this 'bonus'.

another prospect to take seriously is the public transit system. on such a low population transit times for boats should be increased. not classic I know, but, again, this population is not classic.

not to mention a 1 time quest like the soul bind ring from Neriak should be introduced to all cities, if only 25-50 people are playing, what motivation do you have to goto Qeynos if you need to ride the boat a few dozen times just to be able to get to /ooc and MAYBE someone will care enough to spend an hour getting to you to bind you. This quest should be no drop, and only available to you once, pre level 12 and should need to be used by you're level 15. This at least aids you in getting to the first real tier of pvp.

also the flee run speed of mobs is totally FUBR!! bats did not run away this fast at level 1 in classic. Devs, your math is wrong on this and should be reconsidered. I rememeber some species of mob running faster then others, but not the same run speed for everything across the board (levels, class, zones).

I think those are my biggest complaints about it at level 8 at 20 hours played, and I'd rather go through it and be vocal about what sucks, ' beta-test' in removing it for future players, because it's retarded right now. but I love EQ, so do y'all. that's why you'll play despite the current conditions, at least, 50 of us will....which btw did I mention only 50 players playing EQ is by no means 'classic'?\

get involved with the problem and things can change, that's the only way.
