Possible New Player
 

Hola,

Back in the real year of 99 I played on Talon Zek. A few months ago I started playing here (blue server) and really like it but miss the pvp element. I shied away from the red server primarily because of the population and the daunting task of building myself back up to any semblance of sustainability while knowing 0 people.

If anyone could answer the following questions for me, I would appreciate it:
A) Realistically, how much of my time is going to be spent grouping if that is what I desire?
B) What is the pvp lvl range if there is one?
C) Are there teams or is it just a FFA?
D) Is money/no drop stuff lootable upon death?
E) On Talon Zek there was an xp bonus since we were all so hardcore ;). Does that exist here, too?

I tried to search for these answers first but apparently I am worthless without Google =(.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Wanderling

97 people online, not 55. Whoops.

dont make hybrid out the gate. do yourself a favor.

There is a scaling exp bonus from 1-50 so it will seem quick at first but slows down. 50-60 are normal exp rates. You will be solo the majority of your time from 1-50. Coin is all you can loot from PvP. The teams are everyone versus Chewie. You will meet him upon entering the swamps.

A) you can find groups, but it's hard, and you will need to rely on the generosity of a porter to help you get to them. it's best you play a soloer. druid is the easiest to get into the game with, because they can quad, and port, and heal, and buff.. but later on other classes are better for pvp/raids (rogues, for example.. but it's damn hard to solo on this server with an untwinked rogue. ppl are nice though and you can usually beg some starting gear/weapon)
B) 4 level range till you're 30, then it goes to a 6 level range. then at 40 it goes to 8 level range.
C) FFA
D) you can only loot coin
E there is a diminishing exp bonus from 1-50. at level one you have 100% bonus. at level 2, 98%, level 3, 96%.. all teh way till at 50 you have 0%.

Sorry, the only thing I now see is your signature.

EDIT: Okay. Thanks for the info, all!

That word means "fire" from a book, right?

To answer your question, though: Not if I see you first.
;)

Now don't sound too clingy and desperate Drakaris. You will scare off the new player.

don't waste one fucking second on this server, when you see what its really like you will run away

100% accurate.

On a side note, hit any of the toons up in my sig if you need a port or anything. I can help ya out ^.^
