If pvp exp was increased, what % and why?

^ FC coming up big.

Not to mention, again, servers with PvP xp loss had 20% gains. You can disable it whenever you like if it becomes a problem. We need more players, it will help and you can justify it as a classic element. Period.

Sometimes having to run from PvP due to higher level and gear, greater numbers or, hell, known skill of another is part of survival. Being able to escape PvP is part of being an able player when you are at a major disadvantage.

As far as getting 20% of the previous pop back? I think getting 120 of the original 600 would be fucking fantastic and remove a lot of the base from the "dying population" chatter.

20% xp ? dude i was in my 40s and im pretty much done here , xp is so bad its just insane and im not doing it

if you do thats fine , maybe you can quad or something but i cant , and given the dying numbers , staff ignoring everything , lack of guilds and assholes? not worth it

^caught exploiting. You have no right to complain Cozmonaut. Youre a cheating piece of shit.

Here's the biggest point ppl are missing. One of the best parts of EQ has always been that, at least in Classic, that after you hit 50 you were then able to massively twink your Alt and rape PVE and PVP with it. With the EXP rate so bad here, most people have no desire to roll alts and consistently level them, so we see more level 50's quitting and going on breaks who aren't playing and contesting item camps, and less and less low levels. 50% exp bonus gogogo

I wasn't referring to bards when I said hybrids lazortag, my mistake. But rangers having a40% xp penalty? Are you fucking kidding me? There's not even a level 50 ranger yet, enough said. I agree with racial penalties, but class penalties (maybe other than bard) need to be done away with. there's just no sense in it, fuck the "classic" element of it, it was a complete mistake admitted by verant that was eventually rectified. this server has already strayed from the perfect classic vision so whatever.

Also, have you seen the fucking pathing here? You must have never done fire giants or naggy.

...and red99 had over 650 people online at its peak, with boxing completely forbidden. What's your point?

Well, okay, it's stupid that Rangers have an exp penalty and pretty much all of us will admit that. But the point of this server isn't to democratically decide what would make the best version of everquest, it's to make a pvp server that very closely resembles classic. There's arguments to be made for SK's/pallies having an exp penalty (although I personally disagree with it) because they produce aggro very well and have a much easier time leveling up than warriors. Secondly, as for pathing, it's just trivial that you can point out examples of bad pathing on this server because that kind of stuff existed on Live too, and you can't expect the devs here to be perfect. There's a difference between pets pathing stupidly in SolB through the lava (totally avoidable) and mobs pathing through walls with no collision detection (unavoidable), the latter being the case with most other emu servers.

And I think Brainz is on his way to being the first 50 ranger, although he ran into some trouble in oasis the other day:

True

Youre not going to get class penalties removed. We campaigned for it hard. Despite endless logic they refuse to remove it.
