Emergency: XP Bonus completely removed on red please fix ASAP

[Not_Kazowi]

Having a hard grind to 60 favors the integrity of the sever population and prevents people from being as careless about losing characters. Unfortunately most of us have jobs/wives/kids/rl and can't devote the time to level and grind and keep it interesting.

I was going to try and play again hearing about the exp but definitely will not log in again until another boost is back.

Sorry, leveled too many characters in this game before. Don't need the "full classic experience" again.

make it like aa's where u can scale how much exp % you want

so chewie can stay at 0 or 10% so he can "pvp" newbies

[still_MORNIN]

Literally more people in this thread calling for classic experience than there was players when exp was classic

yeah this is a reel easy troll

but srsly leveling has been fucking absurdly easy, if you have been playing here for more then 3 weeks even casually how are you not 60 yet

That is a ridiculous overexaggeration. I play casually for the most part, probably 10-15 hours a week and I'm level 52 doing almost nothing but solo exp. I have about 4 days played at 52 and I've leveled very efficiently for the most part - aside from doing a few hours here and there of HG plat farming and a few hours spent getting my epic quest done up through black fur boots I've been pretty much non stop grinding in pretty good areas. In the interest of full disclosure, I started doing paw entrance/aviaks in SK in my 20s through about 32 then moved to Cynthia in RM, then on to specs all the way until level 51. I barely moved during that time aside from gating to the bank to sell scythes and a 2 minute run back once an hour. Now I'm in CoM getting pk'd a lot but managing solid exp and epic report drops. I'm not twinked, but have been powerleveled 2-3 levels (35 and 40 and 49) by a friend. I'm a very efficient solo class (shaman) as well.

My point being that I took what I consider to be a pretty efficient route to leveling on a good solo leveling class. I hardly ever died or had pvp up through 50. Maybe 10% tops of my play time was spent doing anything but staring at a mob ticking down to death from dots. And still at 4 days played with a lot of it over the last month with the exp bonuses enabled I'm level 52.

I'd estimate to get to 60 in 3 weeks without powerleveling/twinking/premade groups (i.e. someone new to the server) you're talking about time investment that exceeds a typical full time job, so you are by definition not casual at that point. You're probably looking at 10-11 days played, which would 3-4 days played a week or about 12 hours a day, every day, for 3 weeks straight. A casual player at 10 hours a week is still going to take 6 months WITH experience bonuses to hit 60.

I realize I just spent way too much time replying to a troll post but I thought I'd actually throw some realistic scenarios out there in case anyone who matters is actually reading this.

You mean when EQ was new and we all had 40 hours a week to play games? Or in other words, not adults?

Oh wait, this server is full of 30 year old shut ins who want to waste their life playing a game.

I can also close my eyes and have my grandma jack me off. When I open my eyes though the reality of what just happened sets in.

This is undeniable PROOF that exp bonus is ruining the server and causing the problems. The exp bonus causes players to do everything possible to stay alone and secluded. No one groups, no one has fun, no one PVPs mid levels. Rogean decided he didn't want anymore CALL OF EVERQUEST and removed the exp bonus. Level 52 by a casual in a few weeks barely playing, never pvping, only grinding alone. How fucking sad/pathetic! How can you claim there are MORE people playing when these players just grind alone?

With the exp bonus gone we can finally get the JOURNEY OF EVERQUEST like it was meant to be: classic as FUCK exp! No more bard kiting to level 60 in a day for your 6th max level character, this is how everquest is meant to be played. Thank you Rogean please don't flip flop to appease a few loud players.
