What im trying to say is that everyone here has this mentality that (a) the game doesn't even begin until you are max level raiding and (b) getting to max level is just an annoying pain in the ass. Well unfortunately for u, original EverQuest was not designed to be a rush to the end-game like WoW. EverQuest was one game that was actually about the journey, and not the destination.
Think about it - if they made XP so hard that even Tune could only achieve level 40 and the rest of the population was 10-20, FS weapons would be the epic weapons, etc. What I'm saying is that this game is supposed to be played at all levels, it doesn't need to be played at max level / max gear.

100% accurate, minus the part where your last sentence should end with 'by groups of people working together in their tattered armor and fine steel weapons'.
I'm not goung to repost everything I already said in other thread, but as an oroginal '99 live player, I cant tell you how wrong you are. I am ALL about the experience. I leveled every single class in the game to 40's on live between 99 and whenever LDoN went in, think that was last expansion I did. I love meeting a new squad of newbs, banding together, being codependent to succeed, and thriving. This isnt it though. Here, I know almost every single 20ish player on server and constantly who all friends to try and get more help, because its hell. Do you have any freaking idea how slow if not impossible it is to level solo/duo on melee dps? I engage every mob at 50% with bind... what level do you think I will hit with at best, one other dps with me doing the same thing? 1 mob every 5 minutes and no xp fails. Not because I want easy mode... because I want hard mode with friends. See the original thread GMs locked for full commentary, but you're wrong. Glad you madd this thread though, other new one got locked before I got to quote you and tell you this.
Im sure tons exploit bonus xp with PL and teinks, but for newbs, its still barely enough to sustain forward movement. I havecold hard cash thay says tempest and myself are at 2 days played each at lvl 22/23 atm. Yeah sooooo crazy fast. Better throttle us newbs back....
