Experience Rate

[Palemoon]

It will be the same rate that current blue99 has. We are all here on this emu because of the slow xp/no boxing etc. We enjoy the journey and the true investment in ones character.

But dont fear, for those that do want and need faster XP, almost every other game currently in existence offers that, so you have plenty of options.

p.s.

The only thing that sounds like fun is running around with friends and doing world PvP.

Without slow leveling, there would be no world pvp.

p.p.s. the slow xp is even more important here on the pvp server than it is on blue, because of what you said. Instead of just logging in and being instant max level so you can run around attacking people at random, the server's slow xp forces you to come to grips with the rest of the community beyond seeing them as passing gibs.

Run past somefolks in Qeynos hills and you and your friends kill them for the lulz? Now you have to deal with them attacking you while you grind for a few weeks in the karanas.

Slow xp and time invested into your character = a better community

ps. World PvP takes place at level 50, it just takes place in less zones, meaning more of it.

pps. 6 days grinding xp is not instant max level. It is reasonable, especially when you consider how much goes into getting gear after reaching level 50.

Slow xp and time invested in an EMU = no community.

Because p99 was the least populated emu...

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.
