Exp Speed on Green is Atrocious

If you play because of nothing more than levels your playing for the wrong reason anyhow. This game is all about rares. Gaining levels while doing it is just a byproduct.

This is fact. I can DISTINCTLY remember every rare item I've camped and gotten successfully on green before because the rush when you see that item in the loot window is like CRACK.

- Ebon War Spear and Mammoth Hide Cloak at 35
- Rune Etched BP in Hate (Took actual months to drop)
- Goblin Ring in LoIO and 2x CoS in Droga

I also remember the bitter defeats- times I had to throw in the towel and just buy the damn thing.

- Totemic Helm (I still posit that Lich of Miragul was in green too early)
- That stupid shaman spear in kedge
- Rune Etched LEGS in hate (Had to wait for Kunark and Jarsath)

I'd be able to write actual STORIES about each of these moments, and THAT is what makes EQ great. The adventures you make. And don't get me started on the quests. This was my first time actually DOING real quests in the game for more than just exp. My friend started a warrior and I helped him track down EVERY piece of crafted, camped Diamondine Earrings and Crested Spaulders with him, etc.

This game kicks ass. I'd imagine Mangler comes close, but nothing replaces P99.
