You are wrong and this is why I won't even attempt to play the Sleeper. I clearly remember making my first class in EQ back in April 1999 (on day one of EQ release) and playing him. He was a human mage. I remember those early levels. I know for a fact, that even completely naked, it didn't take me 9+ hours to make it halfway through level 5 (this is what another person claimed on their forums). In fact, I remember soloing 5-6 in just 2-3 hours or so, even back in 1999, which is what is like here.

This is a bad sign for me as it's a critical aspect of the game. I won't even bother with it until I hear better things of it and they fix this insanely slow experience rate.

Agree, he needs to quit with the random "today is a bonus day!" and just up the xp overall. Also, instead of all of these random hotzones, just make the noob zones hot zones that way 90 percent of the ppl that play on that server don't quit before lvl 4.
Logical solution, I'd have Nips as the GM tomorrow.

You and I remember things pretty differently, I started in December of 99 and it took me about 4 days to reach level 10 as a mage. Then again I was doing more than just leveling, everything was so huge and there was so much too explore I think I spent one day going from Felwithe to Freeport and just exploring the cities. P99 seems pretty accurate to me but it's hard to say because 99 was a long time ago and so many games in between. Memory is a funny thing.

I will agree though that Sleeper does seem a might bit too slow, but I've heard it picks up past level 10 so I am going to stick it out.

I switched over and so far the community has been pretty fun. Things don't exactly feel right- loots for low-lvl iksar are a bit high for what they should be and, as has been beat to hell and back, the xp in non-hotzone non-dungeons is prohibitively brutal. The typical response has been "p99 got xp wrong"... I'd hope that Kegz eventually caves and scoots the xp rate up a notch or two, but either way it'll be interesting to see how well the raid token idea works- or if it'll even be needed given lower server pop and 2 expansions' worth of raid targets.

1-4 was insanely rough. Now that i am 5 it is better but still sucks. Looking forward to getting to 10 or so. Need to get away from CB i think. too many trains. Plus it seems like NRO, SRO, Oasis are always hotzones

For all those whinners, play it for a week before you diss it. Give it time and slowly bugs and other things will be fixed. So far its actually similar to what p99 was when it was first released, but xp more tune to how classic was on live which is the only difference. Even though kunark and velious in, will give the player base and the development team time to fine tune things as players slowly make there way into them.

This way its actually will eventually bypass p99 in terms of development , whilst p99 will still be tuning velious beta or whatever with only 1-3 developers whilst sleepers will have 150+ players developing the content as they make there way through it.
You're a moron, shut up. lol Make an account here just to post that bullshit? Waste of time.
