Exp Bonus

[Omnimorph]

I can see it from both views, the people who have done the work did it classic style and want everyone else to do the same. People who missed the train at the beginning appreciate the chance to catch up. The neutral is... neutral.

I'm bordering on the neutral, I would like to preserve the classic experience because anything that makes the game easier reminds me of the abomination that is live eq with everything made already for you, where you rush to max level asap and miss out on some good content.

I was level 20-30 for a very long time, in this i experienced in every place imaginable (uguk, sola, SK, MM etc.) and this was mutliple weeks with mutliple groups of people. I ended up getting most of my levels in a single hardcore sola group through out that. But if it had been double exp, my 20s to 30 would have been over with in probably 1 session. I'd have missed out on a bunch of fun groups and going to different places.

Course i would also have missed out on a bunch of pain in the ass deaths, pointless time being LFG etc. so... to summise, i'm just happy the servers coming up again, whether it's 50% or not, i'll take what i can get.

Where's the option for "I'm a whiny bitch and want to complain about everything I can"?

[DevGrousis]

i kinda feel bad for that.. but still.. lol

I could understand bitching about this if people were crying FOR it in the forums... But it's just Rogean trying to do something nice to make up for a week of downtime and yet people still bitch?

Also, the people bitching the least on this thread are those who have 50s. Just saying.

I think the bonus XP is a great idea.

If I had to vote I'd say no, but I honestly feel that this will matter so little in the long run... it's 50% exp, and it's for 7 days.

I hope for the server to be alive and well for so long that it will seem incredibly minor and inconsequential in retrospect.

...though I still plan on taking that week off [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I wouldnt mind a double exp weekend here and there to celebrate something, but I dont know if exp here really deserves more than that. Maybe take away class exp penalties instead yo

Hey guys. So I didn't read this thread, nor the original thread where this was originally proposed, so flame my face if someone already said this.

As this idea was proposed by he who is bound to keep the server as classic as he can, there's likely a reason this has to the benefit of the server's mission. And that is this: they're trying to keep the server's schedule on track.

Let's say posky was coming out on april 25th. Level 40 people just lost 2 weeks of leveling to 46. To be fair to those people (and others for whatever other reasons), the timeline would have to be delayed 2 weeks for the lost time. With this exp bonus, the timelost in the timeline is made up for (enough, at least, to warrant not pushing back the timeline).

I just find this shit to be a bit on the disturbingly ungrateful side.

I am glad I don't know some of you IRL. You're like the kind of neighbors that invite themselves over for dinner and then bitch about what's on the menu.

That's exactly like this.
