So when did classic get rid of xp penalties?

I doubt either of us will get anywhere near that level - "back in the day" I leveled a troll sk to 30 then quit for Tallon Zek, levelled to 35 then quit when I saw I had 29 days played on the new char, to me, that's just sad.

The reason I play troll SK, is because any other race/class combo bores me. They do genuinely kick ass, it is just SO.DAMN.DEMORALIZINGLY.SLOW. I want to play Troll SK but now I know I have a 68% exp pen (I always thought it was 25%, so yeh ignorance is bliss) and no one wants to group with me.

Any chance you were in Army of Grobb?

I agree with everything you say, but I do play some... just not the beloved troll race unless I'm screwing around as a Shaman now that exp rates have been exposed.

Minions of Zek I believe, the newbie guild that had nearly everyone in it and I was a lowly lieutenant - we used to zerg Cazic Thule and Gfaydark and see how many corpses we could make hehe. Dunno what else, I remember being in a guild called Flowers of Happiness as a lowly level 15 shaman at some point but that might have been Rallos Zek.

twosmoke agrees that this xp penalty makes no sense at all, wouldnt even consider it "real" classic as previous poster pointed out very well.

Now that experience rates have been exposed? Are you saying this is a secret? Check out the FAQ. See the section entitled "What are the experience penalties/bonuses?" Beyond that, anybody who played classic knows this is part of the game.

They can't rightfully change it now that so many Paladins and Shadow Knights have busted their butts to reach 60. That would be a slap in the face, essentially saying "Now that you've wasted all this time, we're gonna make it easier for everybody else." If you are waiting for them to change it, don't hold your breath.

ok ok ok... exposed to him and I... didnt mean there was a conspiracy...

SO, are the hybrid xp penalties going to be removed in Velious or not? If they are, I dunno if I can level one up right now knowing that when Velious is out it will be 40 percent faster.

I'd hate to get to 60 and then a week later see patch notes saying the penalty is going away.

I dont mind the penalties but do think they should not be "shared" with the group. Let the hybrid deal with it themselves and not impose it on their party. I was thinking Ranger for p99 red, but now I'm afraid no one will want to group knowning i'll be bringing them a huge xp penalty for my awesome sub-rogue dps.

stupid logic of course. if a better way has been discovered, it should be pursued. what progress would ever be made if we always wanted to do things the hard way because those before us did it the hard way? enjoy your indentured servitude for 7 years in order to be gainfully employed. or better yet, just work in a factory for 16 hours a day because dammit, it was good enough for your ancestors so it's good enough for you. literacy? electricity? what a slap in the face to people who spent their whole lives illiterate and in the dark.
