Default Why NOT increase xp?

That's really the only question that really matters. Server pop isn't great so why not?

There are lots of reasons to increase exp bonus but what are some solid reasons not to increase it?



Innocent until proven guilty. Prove why xp shouldn't be increased.



Will it lower the population more? No.

Will it hurt some player base on the server? No.

Will we ruin the keep it classic idea that the server holds so dearly? No.

Will groups of people leave the server in protest? No.

Will people level up way to fast and crowd the server? No.

Will it create less pvp? No.

Will it grief people off the server? No.

Will it cause everyone to get to level 60 on a server where no character is ever created again? No.

Arguments I have heard that don't hold up:

Because I like the xp difficult. (Check out blue server your in the wrong place)
Because its classic. ( That didnt stop us from increasing it before)
Because then no pvp will happen below level 50. (Its an incentive, not much pvp now)
Because there was a bonus and it didn't work. (Now is different, ppls lives change)
Because it will cause too many higher levels. ( Afraid of competition? Is that bad?)
Because it will cause not enough low level players. (More people will try alts)
Because its not fair I had to level up with no bonus. (Your bonus was binding at pots)
Because the devs want the server to fail. (Not true because they dont have to run it)
Because of some nihilum or gm conspericy. ( maybe they shot kenedy too)
Because it makes the game too easy. (XP = time spent not difficulty welfare recipient)
Because it takes the fun out of it.(Eq has many fun aspects-most agree xp is not one)
Because thats not what I want.( Reasons? )
Because this and this other system is better. ( But thats besides the point )
Because you could just remove xp death penalty. ( Again besides the point )


TLDR; GTFO

Real life testimony:-

Tonight I finished what I needed to do and sat down in front of the computer. I trolled the forums a bit, looked around. With League of Legends mentioned on here (while Red was down) I decided I'd download that and give it a try. Game has changed loads in the last 8 months. Played a few games, starting to wonder why I stopped playing. Only now (1.30am) do I think "oh, I usually play on R99 around now".

Seems like more effort to log in. Still, maybe tomorrow...maybe not. Not -1 yet but I think I'd feel like I'd be getting more done if the XP bonus was in [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I suspect I'm as likely to halt the American decline as I am to get people to play with classic xp here. Save the pop.

Keep pushing for an xp bonus, sooner or later the admins will do it, or they will lose the pop.

want the real reason exp bonus isnt in?

because it will bring more people


more people = more training = more petitions = more drama

competition for raid mobs will result in <Insert bannable phrase here>

red99 staff wants pop below 200 trust me

Heard this before from you but you never give a reason why.

More petitions is hardly a problem. They just dont answer them like when 50 posts come out about how clean it needs to be wiped.

More competition for raid mobs means more pvp.

If red 99 wanted staff below 200 why even run the server at all?

Is this where nihilum conspiricy with gms and loot comes in or was that the bannable phrase theory you wanted to insert before?
