"" You will never be as good of a tank as a warrior or as good of a caster as a druid however you will be a fine mix between the two classes and a welcome addition to most groups. ""

1) Why Variance 2) Why are there obvious game mechanics that have been broken for years that are not Classic, yet the exp penalty remains? 3) Why no Velious? Surely you are aware that the Classic Era of players did not have to endure an exp penalty as long as P1999 Players You recognize this fact yes? | |||

1) I agree, hate variance. 2) volunteers, things take time and they prioritize items differently than we may want them. 3) Again, volunteer work, so things take longer to get done, and it just makes sense to keep changes in the same patch/expansion. For my experience, I started eq a few months after it was released, and my first character was a half elf ranger. I got to 27 and I remember it took me a month and a half to get to 28, and my average day was logging on, soloed while LFG for hours, then logged off never having found a group, even though plenty of them were going. I wasn't grinding every day, but I do remember thinking this was just crazy, there was no way I was going to get to 50 at this rate. So I started up a second account and created a cleric. It took 2 weeks for my cleric to catch up to my ranger, and then I would LFG and convince groups to either accept both toons, or my ranger would be in group and I would heal out of group on cleric (unless cleric fell too far behind). Sadly due to the no boxing rule, I can't take this route, and have had to focus on twinking a ranger or getting powerlvls for the most part due to lack of groups. It would definitely be nice for those who enjoy certain classes to not have to deal with the xp penalty, but I think the problem is more with the players attitude and not the devs not changing it. As others mentioned, well played rangers (and good gear helps too!) are definitely worth more than the xp penalty they bring with them. Hopefully all you bad/lazy rangers can move onto other classes and let us who really enjoy and excel at rangers have a better chance at finding groups [You must be logged in to view images.

Again, the players on this server have been more than patient. They've had to suffer through idiotic exp penalties (which the original EQ Devs admitted were a mistake) for FAR longer than any player ever did that played during the original Classic/Kunark Era. That's just a fact and it's not Classic. You can try to spin it any way you want. We are way beyond the original classic timeline, yet this stupid exp penalty remains in place that effects the gameplay of every person that plays on this server. There is no rational argument that can be made to justify this. You can't hide behind "It's not Classic" with the right hand and then make dramatic changes to the game (like Variance) with the left. You've got to go really far back into the history of this server to even understand why variance exists in the first place. A LOT of time and effort is spent managing variance. A lot of time is spent rule lawyering it. It's a completely new game that has been created where game mechanics are cleverly being used to rule lawyer up FTEs. So explain to me how that is fair. A major game changing decision that is NOT classic (Variance) is made that breaks the game and creates this mutated version of EQ, yet exp penalties remain in place. It's retarded. Way too much time is spent rule lawyering variance and coddling high lvl guild politics and egos and not enough time is spent addressing issues like this that effect the gameplay of the entire server as a whole. This issue has a direct impact on everyone that plays this game. Try being in your 50s with an idiotic exp penalty weighing you down as you try to get groups. It's bad enough that your class is perceived as gimp. Add on an exp penalty and you do the math. The exp penalty as it currently stands favors the developers. That's why they won't remove it. It keeps you playing longer. When Variance was created, it was done because the thought was it was going to fix bad design of the original EQ Developers. Here you have an exp penalty that original EQ Developers admitted was bad design, yet it remains in the game LONG after any timeline the original Kunark era players ever had to endure Why? | |||

Variance was put in place cause the greedy humans can't figure out how to play nice without being hand held and spoon fed by GM's and volunteers
Yes the exp penalty is a joke, I hope the Devs get rid of it soon.. I'll wait till velious.. But lvlin my pally is killin me. You put up with it, cause it's there game and server, if you have made a better one play there. Ya some of there rules are more retarded than Down syndrome ... But fuck this server rocks Bring Velious #winteriscoming #exppenalty #paladinsuicide #robinwilliams #toosoon #hashtaggingonaemuforumisstuoid #allhashtagsarestupid #gnightnorrath | ||
