Consistency... That's what it's all about. Keep it the way it was, no extra, no less.

Well I'm a new player starting out on this server. I've played other Eqemu servers, but thought this had potential as it's classic. That was until I saw how long it takes to level on here... Killing 30 white con mobs to ding level 2, taking a good solid hour + wasn't particularly fun. The classic experience of EQ - to me, was in how the game mechanics were and the lore and advancement of the characters, not in how SoE made it as time consuming as possible to keep the money flowing in.
It seems it was good enough to have a higher rate before, but not now?. Not really fair on the new player base. If anything I would've thought it been a lower rate at first, then a higher rate later, because surely you would've wanted as close to classic at the start as possible.
It's just going to put a lot of players off this server, considering that on other legit servers like PEQ ( which also has got a large player base) You can ding level 2 on the first mob in Glooming deep mines. I personally want a server where you can't box though, so this one seems really ideal, but I don't want to have to spend a good part of this year getting myself up to a decent level, not when it has been quicker for everyone and now dropped. Just doesn't seem fair to me, and it's also putting people off, even though I never PvPed on EQ in two years of play time.
No disrespect intended, I really appreciate people running these servers and the effort that's gone into it, but it's just not fun at this rate, and just far to daunting for new players.
