This is being discussed between Rogean, Nilbog and I. I make no promises but i will tell you there was active discussion of this yesterday. Believe me when I tell you that it's not going to be an unlimited free for all. If it becomes a headache for the staff we will just shut it down. This means you people have to act like humans NOT a bunch of bratty 3rd graders.



in no particular order:

1 exp rate is already increased at lower levels. You have a 200% XP rate at level 1. at level 50 you have a 100% XP Rate. so there is already an xp boost, it's scaled.

2. There can be PVP at all levels. You don't have to only PVP at max level. This is not Call of Duty with EQ Characters.

fairly srue there are already Zone Experience modifiers but I'm not a dev. I can't swear to it.

I'm glad to hear you are all discussing the global ooc.. I hope it turns out well and useful to all of us. In regards to the exp you say PvP can be done at all levels. True. What you're not realizing is the SEVERE lack of player base for these other levels. I can count the names of everyone I've ever seen within PvP range. Now when i do see them I cant PvP becasue id rather group. You cant PvP at lower levels in most scenarios becasue there is no player base. When I see someone within my level its either ok, I PvP him or I group with him and actually get some experience. 9/10 times your gonna choose the group because it might be a day or two before you can get another.

The lack of players and slower low levels are actually preventing low level PvP from my perspective. You choose to either PvP with the only person you've run into who you could potentially group with, or to group with him and get exp. This is a perfect example why low level PvP isnt variable for a decent amount of players ESPECIALLY any melee.

Anyone arguing that an experience boost isn't need is probably already level 50 on this server with a ton of friends who can help out his freshly rolled alt. Keeping low level experience the way it is is only crippling the new players rather than ones who are already here. If you already have your 50 chances are you've twinked out your alt and have a friend power leveling him. So the lack of player base and exp is easily made up for through that.

If you came here to PvP, you will just be disappointed that all you actually get is a 200+ hour grinding up to 42 by yourself prerequisite.

I've spent 100+ hours playing up to 33 and maybe 2 hours of that pvping (not for lack of willingness - there just aren't enough players).

On VZTZ this was why the XP rate was accelerated while the itemization treadmill was left untouched. It kept players within range of eachother.
