Please stop hurting the population
 

The GM/Dev decision is what it is, and our dissent was expected. Continuing to complain about it is not going to change anything on that end, we simply have to deal with the lowered (but still increased) xp and wait to find out what else they have in store for us. Sirken isn't one to lie or lead us on, and after all he's done for the "box" don't we owe him the benefit of doubt?

Here's some constructive criticism: please stop hurting the population with loud and somewhat obnoxious posts about how the server is doomed now. We're all guilty of this from time to time, but if we made efforts to catch ourselves as we're doing it and stop then we'd all be better off for it.

The best way to respond to the changes is to accept it without whining and get on with our gaming. If for some reason we feel entitled to VZTZ-speed xp and are unable to enjoy the game without having levels handed to us, then we should gracefully take our leave without making a petty fuss. Anyone of sober mind can plainly see that the players making a big stink over this change are further discouraging new people from coming here and trying the game out with us. It's of course fine if you disagree with the decision that was made, but how many "I'm leaving!" or "23 of my friends just quit the server because it's too hard now" posts do we really need? Many of the people making these ridiculous and damaging posts are at the same time accusing the GMs/devs of not caring, and wanting to destroy the server.

There are worse things to be than a hypocrite, but that doesn't make it cool.

Let's all just calm down, think carefully about what our actions before we make them, and then get back to playing this game we love. Please.

just a FYI, there is currently zero exp bonus 50-60. even SZ had a global exp bonus.

SZ had legal trains, which I think was the main reason for including a very small bonus.

And since most of the population here is 50+, why do we feel as though we need a bonus at this range? There are groups to be found 50+ no matter what class you are or what guild you're in. The entire point of the bonus is to assist those players struggling because of the low population.

im pretty sure 99% of the people that play on p99 came here before ever reading anything on the forums. I guess i dont really know tho ive been here since blue beta before the forums even existed

The scaling bonus from 1-50 is still in effect. We don't know what it is and how it scales though beyond previous explanations lost to the forum entropy here.

And you know, if we all took it in stride and went with it with a positive attitude, powering through those levels wouldn't feel like such a chore. If you don't like playing the game, why are you here?

Why does everyone seem to feel entitled to a level 60? It's supposed to be an accomplishment of time commitment, and it's supposed to happen gradually over time.
