the problem i had with this idea is that once you hit 42, you now have a longer journey to 50, which means you are being farmed in pvp for a longer period of time by lvl 50s...other then that i agree helping low lvls get higher faster does help give the player a vested interest in their character. maybe the exp bonus will do this on its own.

ps. i chose 50% not because i think its too hard to lvl a character, the only reason i chose something high is becasue it seems at this point in order to entice people to come back to the server 20% wouldnt cut it.

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

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

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

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.

[Harrison]

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

[heartbrand]

Ya I'm cool with getting rid of hybrid penalties.

We need more people to get to level 50, so we have nothing to do but train each other and camp manastones!

Everyone who has been playing for the past few months is already level 50 or close enough to not care about the xp rate, even if you only played 2 hours a day.

Those of you without the time to play classic EQ, we understand, try WoW.

This is a classic EQ server, with classic xp.

Think Sony is still running some live servers with faster xp, try that. This server has a specific purpose, and thats the reason we are here, not to troll it into a clone of EQlive.

did you know that classic EQ servers had several thousand players on it at once?

did you know that players didn't know the game inside and out on best spots to level, best solo classes, and where to farm all the best loots?

did you know that classic EQ has gaping exploits in it that in some instances arent even recreatable on this server?

did you know that VZTZ at its peak had over 300 players online, with plenty of players only one boxxing, and that it's downfall was not having GMs online to police hax?

The more you know.
