All this with a wizard, he must be amazingly godlike at the game just finding everyone wherever they are, it's simply magical.

On topic:

Anyone who thinks slow exp would hurt the server pop is an idiot, i'd say the slower the better.

The fast exp formula has been tried and tested in many different ways on vz tz and has proven to fail miserably at keeping hackers out etc.

It's also nice having an actual punishment for dieing in pve, while exp is worth a lot on p99 it wasn't worth shit on vz/tz ever. Remember training over and over with your naked lvl 60th? Well that shit might actually hurt you on P99 red, cause you'll care about your hard earned exp.

I have absolutely no problem in exping for a year and invest a shit ton of time into my character, as long as i know this shit isn't gonna get wiped when the trolls feels like it should.

I simply say, the slower the exp, the better for the pop (the pop that actually wants to play eq and not just logon, grief and log off).

PS. I also support EXP DEATH on PVP, even with slow as fuck exp, the more consequence on dieing, the more fun, however i do not support item loot since some classes are garbage without good loots. Dieing should be felt.

im not saying give us tz/vz exp im only saying if you give us classic exp take out item loot and pvp exp loss

maybe ask some of the people who tried the pvp servers and went back to 99 why they went back

I understand dying and hunting.. played VZ
tried a few boxes here only to about 25-35 and quit because it was nothing like live!
broken this an that, exploits and 3rd party programs running rampant. not to mention logging in buff bots for full array of buffs then dragging a box healer wherever you go.

Alot of this stuff will be minimized here on R99 from what ive seen in the discussion threads = more stable and better environment then vz/tz box #629343

I'll play almost no matter what but I would prefer a slower rate of xp. I don't really know enough to quantify what that means tho, sorry!

What if the exp loss was around 5%, with a hypothetical population of around 500-750? I imagine the numbers will be very high to begin with, then taper off.

If you're going to implement XP loss for PvP, 5% may as well be 0. 25% would probably be ideal...enough to restrict bind rushing, solo ganking, (makes the gankers even want to take a buddy or two along) and not enough to deter serious PvP. On the other hand, there should also be XP for PvP kills. (Also reduced to avoid alt-killing for leveling. Just enough to promote PvP)

All the tired arguments about deleveling, CC, griefing...they all result from stupidity. There are just too many ways to circumvent someone causing you "grief". (Unless the CC is intended for corpse rot...and yeah, there are boneheads that will poopsock a corpse that long. That's the only case in which I can see any justification for GM intervention).

Hotzones would still be good for normal XP boosts, and they would promote PvP as a side benefit.

Start it like the staff of p1999 wants to. make adjustments later if they decide to (you can even adjust the xp post leveling)

I like this point. Like you guys have said before, when you first introduced P99 everyone said "classic only will diminish population"..."slow exp rates will diminish population"... and so on

You guys understand what's going on. Lets do it!

[XiakenjaTZ]

I was not 100% clear. If they adjusted the xp say 5 months in, you may log in on your 45 shaman and discover he is 49. Thats what I mean by adjust it. The only people an XP change would "hurt" post leveling is someone who is max 60.

Even then, if they announced it they could always make some essence emeralds knowing what was coming.

This server should be ready to go. Lets launch this!

Lol vztzjects think they know what is good for a server

"COPY VZTZ THEY WERE SUCCESSFUL RIGHT?!"

Give it up failures.

Right so let the players handle it, not have a full petition queue that a GM "is required to respond to".

Classic xp is good and hey, its classic like it was. Death penalty can go either way. It does discourage bind rushing and helps people know when "it's time to stop messing with those guys and their camp".

It also can promote bind camping or an incentive to harass another player. But hey, it's a pvp server. It would just kind of suck to have people looking for rezzes after pvp deaths.
