What is the purpose of Beta testing

To make the game better or worse?

Guys my free game isn't perfect what should I do???!
This is a stupid take. You should always put a value on your time. If you're putting time into something then its costing you no matter what.

If you don't enjoy something you should quit. A lot of mages aren't enjoying green and are probably close to quitting, so its totally reasonable that they will voice complaints before doing so. I personally already threw in the towel, too many other good games right now to waste it on something thats half baked.

I don't feel bad for them. Would you feel bad for someone who was driving on a road that knew it ended with a nosedive off a cliff?

Most of them just rerolled Enchanter or Necro lol. As if we needed to artificially increase the population of those classes right?

A lot of people didn't know or understand when they started leveling that this would be the result. Even nilbog didn't know when he patched it in the game.

Unfortunately P99 has a culture full of cynical players. Anyone against mages getting their pets because "It's classic" is lying, they are just acting callous because that is who they truly are as a person.

People not knowing or understanding how broken the game was going to be is classic.

I don't get what the big deal is, this is an emu server, things happen. Just reroll an enchanter or druid until the mage fix is in. This is EVERquest, there is plenty to do. and enjoy.

Yes, cos large numbers of people in the zone cause the 'kill 3 linked mobs to trigger respawn' to cycle disproportionately faster than the 1:1 system. Thats what the respawn hack/fix attempted to emulate.

Can you provide evidence for this?


"Spawn Time Reductions - As has been discovered on Beta, there is currently a spawn time reduction affecting most low level mobs. We decided to put this in place after evaluating the options for alleviating the crowded newbie zones and getting people out into the world. We didn't want to put an XP Bonus in place. We feel that this is an adequate alternative. This system can be scaled and disabled as necessary when the population spreads out. It will be set to an 80% reduction at launch."


This was put in to alleviate crowding and has been stated that it would be removed as crowding went down. This was not to simulate a classic mechanic, it was to alleviate crowding and that was it.
