Anyways, exp will be normal. If it receives any increase, it will be minor.

This was one of the huge arguments prior to p99 launching. I didn't listen to it then, and proceeded onward. My experience since that time has shown I made the correct decision.

I think you're right on this, even though I'm going to absolutely hate it personally (I don't have near as much time to play as I used to).

It does keep people playing longer, and there is something to be said about the "investment in your character".

I played a lot on the fast exp red servers and they were very short-term in scope. They skipped a massive chunk of the game + an integral part of the overall experience. The economy suffers because there's no real market for low level items. Nobody goes to zones like Unrest or Solusek A or the Karanas. "Mid level PvP" doesn't even exist. Etc.


I do, however, wholeheartedly agree that the hybrid exp penalty is fucking retarded + should be removed. It would make sense if those classes were stronger than the ones that level at a normal rate, but they aren't. In fact, Rangers are pretty horrible. It really shouldn't be in the game and I don't think anyone can put forth a compelling argument to keep that "classic" feature.
