Dude, please join the anti-quest-exp side. You're making the good guys look bad. I didn't know Dr. Disrespect played MMOs, but here we are.



You sir are correct about 30 days. And from your name and registration date 2013 I am inclined to trust you. However, I believe the Devs are smarter than you and me.

I bet they backed up the DB of quests and then used a smart ctrl+f to find all the "gives player ##### exp' and replaced all the numbers with 0. They will restore the backup database in due time to 'turn on' quest exp.

The Devs have done yeoman's work, but if you think the Devs do anything as stupidly manual as you just described for entire categories of items... well... you're insulting the Devs almost as much as this Kaaji cat.
Fine, I'm being a bit harsh, I apologize. I in no way condone the decision but it is what it is. Let's hope they turn it back on in a few hours (I read from the other thread it would've been 10pm EST today for the full 30 days).

I have no idea what I'm talking about, so disclaimer.

Is it possible to make a cooldown per character for quest exp? So you cant just turn in infinite CB Belts, fangs, etc for purposes of exploiting the quest xp?

Or even limit the cooldown to say, 8 turn-ins per hour or so? Something more on average with what real quest turn ins would be?

Sorry if this is idiotic, just wondering.

Technically the post wasn't posted until the 16th, and that is what said 30 days...

Ackshually... within hours of launch, there was an in-game broadcast from Rogean which said "the first month of Kunark." 10 days later, after much frustration from newbies turning in quest items, who had missed the one-time in-game announcement... they made a forum post.

"Today is the day. Now is the time..."

Ahh, I must've missed that. Thanks for showing me. It's so frustrating having such inconsistent and easily missable communications. I get it's not easy to manage a server, but it seems like some of the communication it would be trivial to be less ambiguous about or post in ways less dependent on luck of the draw.

That "naturally via kills" also explains some other posts/memeing I've seen...

This is interesting. Thank you for sharing.

I came back to P99 about 20 days ago. My play time is super limited. I leveled a Bard to 12 so far "via kill" and have a bank full of CB belts and I am encumbered carrying belts too.

I decided not to log back on until exp is turned on. I worked hard for that extra exp in kiling orcs, so i want that exp. no sense in wasting it.

What do you get when you take the quest out of EverQuest, everything takes forEVER, at least for us casuals that only have a small amount of time to play. Anyways keep up the "classic" work.
