A wall of text on the global XP modifier, global OOC

[heartbrand]

Leave a 100% modifier remove all other bonus
Put in grouping exp bonus
Remove hybrid exp penalty
Allow two boxing until 500 pop achieved
Moderate ooc
Blue copies or transfers
More reasonable punishments for people based on prior history etc. Send warning tells for non game breaking behaviors.
On the other side, perma ban all accounts repeatedly of certain trolls who are here only to ruin the box. We know who they are.
Start moderating the fucking pvp boards and punish game accounts. Obviously warn people first, etc, but if people can't learn to relax and keep posting burn it down then burn their accounts down. Maybe even raffle their gear off their accounts to new players for lulz.

Box fixed.

I think you need to wake up to the fact that this server has a low population because Everquest is 14 years old and the PVP aspect is even less appealing than the PVE aspect.

Best case scenario is maybe red99 gets 300 total players.

Agreed, at least for the time being.

I guess I'm ok with that.

This is being done eventually, I don't see an issue with doing it now. On blue you can't get a group as a hybrid very easily because the entire group understand it is quite literally slowing them down to use one.

As someone who would benefit massively from this because I have access to a 60 cleric, ench, porting characters, etc I still don't like it. I can't give you a great reason why I'm so opposed to it, aside from the fact that it would become the new requirement to min/max. Maybe because EQ is a game built in a way that makes 2 boxing super easy and effective.

I agree in theory, but manpower is something we typically lack from the staff. Even more so on red than blue.

I guess at the end of the day I'm ok with a 1 way gearless transfer. My preference would still be to make people level up and gain some sort of attachment though. You're also not addressing the true problem with this solution, there is little to no 1-50 population. A healthy server would mean I could create a level 1 and pretty much be able to find groups all the way to 60.

Total agreement here. I'd go a step further and actually define the punishments people would get for lets say, a 1st and 2nd time PNP violation, a 1st time exploit punishment, etc. Personally I have no issue at all busting out the banhammer for a first time exploiter but a PNP violation? Please. To use Jibekn as an example since he is a member of the side opposite to me, what he did was pretty stupid and obviously against the rules but I would not say a full ban is warranted. Give him a week timeout as a first time offender, kick it up to a month for a 2nd time, and 3rd strike and you're gone.

If rules aren't being broken you can't punish people just for being a pain in the ass. That opens up all sorts of issues. A lot of people would say what Chewie does with FoH in Lguk is the ultimate troll, but could you honestly say he deserves a ban for it?

I wouldn't mind at all people being total douchebags on the forums receiving some punishment in game. In some ways I would miss Stasis and Colgate though.

AGREE

I don't agree with the punishment sections, because I think they should be suspensions, with warnings, and with dialogue... not just boot to screen without any kind of dialogue. Nobody should be banned for anything unless its something severe.

Also should be consistent and not pick and choose, all the way or not at all.
