Comparing level 45 from Oct 2012 to level 45 from today
 

On October 3 and 4 of 2012, my enchanter Tecmos went from 45 to 46 in LOIO killing 124 bloodgill goblins and 1 bloodgill maurader. During this time there was no server XP bonus (to my knowledge), but Tecmos WAS suffering from the 10% experience penalty all int casters had back then.

On July 2, 3, and 4 of 2016, my enchanter Noman went from 45 to 46 in LOIO killing 113 bloodgill goblins. During this time, there was a 25% XP bonus, and Noman was NOT suffering from the 10% experience penalty. Assuming that over the course of 100+ bloodgill goblin spawns, the average level of goblin Tecmos and Noman killed were VERY CLOSE... Noman should only have needed to kill ~91 goblins to get all the way through 45.

I could buy it if it took him 95 or even 100. But 113? Something changed or something is wrong with either the zone or the mobs or the experience formula.


PS - If I break charm and then kill my former pet first, then the other mob... is that going to give different XP than breaking charm and killing the other mob first, then my former pet?

I tried red. I streamed myself soloing in HS. No one came to PVP, and this was when there were 250+ online.

Is asking for PVP and not getting any a red99 problem?


And related on both lines of thought, I think I did 45 on bloodgills on red also. Looking for those logs. Shit. I duod some with Alawen's cleric in LOIO, and I don't feel like sorting that shit out.

ftfy

Probably based off of the goblin levels. Maybe you killed more greens than expected. Also did you die at all?

Who stole my tin foil hat?

It shouldn't.

That is weird though.

Did you perhaps die more?

There's no actual PVP on Red99. It's monk/rogue twinks with fungi/tstaff/etc smashing ungeared lowbies until they leave the server.

It is, by far and largely it's own worst enemy. You can't constantly beg for new players, and then grief them off while crying nobody plays your shit hole server.

When I tried red....it was actually 4 of those grouped (epic rogues with fungi) ....running around and then ganked me in crushbone. There was no one else in the zone....

Red players are worse at PVP then blue players :P On blue you can actually fight people in fair fights....red they are just trying to get their griefing kicks.
