It was not very popular and required some skill (for that time) to stay alive past entrance area.

I believe AE goups started with luclin and AAs, but it would just happen once or twice a week and never all day long.
Then with POP they moved to Crypt of Decay, If I remember well.

I'd say that what happens here comes from a combination of knowledge, RMT and the fact this server has been on kunark for years: peoples have plenty of time to level alts.

I've never stepped in Chardok on p99, but IMO ae groups more or less denying acces to a zone is similar to "the raid problem" and should be fixed too.

I don't know how, and a problem with upping resists would be that it would also penalize regular groups.

Something is up though, if it WAS doable on live at this point in the timeline it should be a lot more difficult.

Maybe pbaoe stuns resist check needs to be reviewed?

Chardok AOE should remain as is. Nerfing it now because 'more people are selling proxy spots' is a really silly reason. It boggles my mind that people can have such a toxic attitude towards other players who wish to engage in Chardok AOE. Heaven forbid casters make use of their AOE spells... we can't have that!

This.

To the people saying to just make a group and go. That works, sorta. The only problem is you have to be reeeaaally careful every 30 minutes or whatever the respawn is because the entire zone repopping at once can be a bit dangerous depending on your current location.

Seems that the people arguing against Chardok AOE for the purpose of grouping there must be new or something. That place was literally a ghost town up until the day Skyfire AOE was nerfed.

But then again, people might be right, after Skyfire AOE got nerfed people started grouping there again......oh wait...

Im all for AE groups.

The problem is the selling of spots and proxying as a prime motivation for AE groups. This leads to rotating 5-6 people in and out of the xp group, and legitimate lack of skills and abilities of people levelled there.

Chardok, like Skyfire, was brilliant early on when it was purely for xp's and had the occasional 60 there helping a friendd to smooth things up.

Roughly how much xp is it at level 40 if you go at the minimum instead of say 50+

30-45% a pull depening on class/race.

up to 2hrs a lvl. Faster to do with a monk in CT, or a bard.

I think the issue here is more of whether or not aoe chardok should be so easy, if at all possible, at this point in the eq timeline.


People will be people, if there's a way to make money off of something they will.

No issues there.


I just think some people should look into whether or not prior to velious on live groups could aoe chardok so easily. I see posts from 2002 to 2003 talking about chardok aoe and how you needed a raid for it. I also found one from 2001 talking about how hard it was to do without a few groups of support, but that if you were lucky enough to get in the "KS group" the exp was amazing.


Where is elethia/nirgon, need some pro nerfquesters to investigate and report to nilbog asap.
