Polite dialouge on future of red99

[PhantomRogue]

What people need to get through their head is that the game does not START at max level like every other ezmode game out there today. EQ is about lvl 10, its about lvl 19, its about level 37, its about lvl 45 and everything in between. Thats the draw, that what is unique. More xp bonus would hurt the whole system from the ground up.

Troolborn,

If that's the case, why don't developers keep adding content for level 30s? Why is all content about max level? Why aren't resists balanced for level 35 with 50MR instead of level 50 with 110 MR?

You have yet to say WHY it would hurt. What is the most popular zone? LGuk... not Befallen. Its SolB not High Keep.

The game is not about the 500 hours you need to spend to get to level 50. Its about what you do with the 1,000 hours you spend AT level 50. The more people you entice to get there, the better off the survivability of the game is. You need to keep having new blood arrive, or it stagnates.

Plenty of content was added for the 30's post launch. Paw was changed from a lowbie zone to 30's, the temple of solusek ro (a whole zone) was added with lvl 30's questing content, the list goes on.

When Kunark came out, half the expansion was sub 50 content.

I think you have this mistaken with Blizzard/wow again, where an expansion = 2 new raid zones and more daily quests for lvl 90s.

sorry, this is classic EQ
