Please increase exp rate - Page 15

THERE ARE ABOUT EIGHTY PEOPLE MAX ON THIS SERVER UNLESS A BOSS IS UP. STOP ACTING LIKE INCREASING THE HORRIBLE XP RATE WHICH IS THE MAIN DETERRENT TO NEW PLAYERS (COMBINED WITH NO ONE TO GROUP WITH AND NO ONE TO TALK TO BECAUSE NO OOC) WILL SOMEHOW CAUSE A NET LOSS IN THE ALREADY TERRIBLE SERVER POP.

Explain to me what is difficult about repetition. Convey to me how pressing a few buttons a hundred thousand times is challenging. The only thing I find challenging about it is making time to do it.

I don't understand... do you just want a pvp server, or a p99 pvp server?

There have got to be other pvp servers available that are already on ez mode? I haven't checked, so I might be wrong on this one.

I imagine the majority of people who wanted to spend 150 hours leveling to 50 did it already on blue. If the server had the population to provide the experience people expect from a PvP server I imagine far fewer people would complain about the exp because they would be able to enjoy interacting with other players. However there is an abysmally low population and a lot of people understand that putting more players in fewer zones will increase interaction with others.

A lot of people argue about it here as if it where a black or white issue. EXP has been increased so it seems apparent to me that at some point the dev team realized there was some merit to the argument. Personally as someone who commits 10-15 hours a week it's demoralizing that I'm not even in my 30s at this point. It would be nice to be able to play here without having to give up other things, to be able to say this is my hobby instead of my part time job.

Okay, as devil's advocate, explain to me what is wrong with being in your 30s? Does PvP in EQ only get fun at 50?

Might have something to do with PvP requiring other people to fight. Not sure yet, I'll get back to you but probably not.

Right now out of 64 people I am the only person in my zone. If 64 people online had all been 40+ I'm pretty sure I'd at least be able to go find one. I had to CR when I logged in today, I traveled through 3 zones to get where I am and no one is in any of them. It isn't about being 50, it's about playing with other people.

Tho the issue is Nirgon, nihilum would LOVE this server if it was just them logging in and killing bosses every night with no one else on it, so they don't care if the server pop is 200, 150, 100, or 30, as long as they can get more pixels that don't matter in PVE, with the exception of mistwalker and main tank loot, not to mention you kill almost everything with charm pets.

Yes. I would leave, and so would many of the people I play with and am guilded with. Then many others would follow when they realize how trivial what they've worked months for has become as well as a long list of other negative ramifications for making Everquest into something it was never meant to be - easy.

nobody is asking to be able to ding 50 in a day. obviously you are making exaggerations to try to prove your point... regardless, for some reason here i am giving you the benefit of the doubt and explaining that obvious fact to you. wait, did i just get trolled?

feel free to look up the definition of trivial if needed. increasing exp rate will not make eq trivial in any way.

bingo. leveling in eq isn't 'hard'... its 'tedious.' nobody is asking for ez eq.

simply that there is no server population in the 30s. pvp is at 40+. that's why we all want to be 40+
