There's only so much you can increase exp before you basically kill what EverQuest is and all low level pvp. I'm certain a supporter of the exp bonus, but any more risks ruining the integrity of the game. If everyone's level 60 easily no one is going to log on because there's nothing to do. That is part of the problem with the server by the way, there's just no reason to be logged on the majority of the time once you're 60, and you can say well log on for "pvp" but that usually involves running around searching for the four anon people in your level range who then gate or zone plug. Velious introduces a shit load of solo/group/raid content which means more people online and therefore more pvp.

On VZTZ this wasn't the case. Screw low level pvp it's stupid. Just a bunch of clerics blinding you and Mage pets chain rooting. On VZTZ max lvl pvp was the sole reason to play. Ps Sirken if you need a voice who has very little Red 99 experience and a lot of VZTZ experience you can PM me.

if everyone on the server had a job, it would be an even playing field [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I knew it was Obama's fault.

I agree 100% just stating server policy

Oh ok gotcha. I just want to see more Paladins and Rangers on this server damnit.

We could just time lock max char levels. Keep server max lvl 20 for 3 months, max lvl 30 for 3 months etc.

This would eliminate the issue Lovely outleveling everyone to 1 shot with Ice Comet before quitting when people start getting even levels.

in theory sounds cool but people would max level in one day and never be seen again til level cap raised.

kinda like the 100+ former nillys. get max level, get loot, quit. not sure whats more discouraging, everyone going to nilly for loots or everyone in nilly quitting after loots obtained.

You are already max level in 1 day and not seen for months on end. This would not impeed your play style at all.

Yeah lovely definitely won that game.

If a new server ever comes out, Max level time lock is 100% neccesary for maximum enjoyment. It simulates classic experience as much as possible, since in 1999 people just didn't know how to pwn the game like we do now.

Maxxing level 20 for a while would mean normal players aren't totally dusted and non competitive within the first week. If the guys hit 20 and /q they are going to be rusty and weaker than some guy who has been bombing around having fun the whole time.

I wipe could save the server, a no wipe no change will however most definitly keep the server dead, i don't think anyone will bother with velious knowing its a 100 man zerg just doing everything and there's litteraly no reason to form a opposition as the population isn't large enough

The only fun you'll have in velious is the early days of lodizal pvp, thats about 1 hour per day, that's way more action then the server sees today though, but knowing nizzar he will field a 40 man zerg to get lodizal, and then no one will bother to pvp for it

EQ broken at its core, all you have to do is recruit everyone who doesn't have a job
