If pvp exp was increased, what % and why?

Play EQ the way it was designed, group with friends, check out the old zone and dungeons, have fun leveling and mix in some PvP when you can.

Have you ever tried grouping with your friend who is a troll shadow knight and watched your exp gain grind drop to 1/3 of a percent per kill? Have you ever told your friend playing a monk to sit his ass down in a corner for the next couple days and don't move so the magician fire pet can tank with ds?

Nah he cares about having fun, not just racing to 50.

I play a Monk and no one has asked me to sit down :P

Seriously what are you rushing for ? You will make more XP by grouping than soloing and it's more fun so bring along your Troll Shadow Knight friend.

The push to trivialize P99 is like a petition to have the Boston Marathon only be 5 miles long because it take too long to run 26 or that lazy people should be able to ride bikes because running is boring.

The Marathon is a Marathon not a 5k walk for breast cancer, it is a test, a trail an accomplishment.

It blows my mind that a lvl 13 monk would be posting in this thread, that's all I have to say.

Amuk your mind must be pretty weak if a simple post from a new player would blow it... just saying...

I am posting to counter the crying that the server is dead and that nobody plays on RED 99. I am not claiming to be an EQ genius, I haven't hit 50 yet, I haven't done any Raids...

But as a new player, I am low level and see what low level RED looks like, I live it and it isn't all doom and gloom as the jaded , impatient, Vets make it out to be. In reality the EQ Classic grind isn't scaring away all new players just the weak ones :P

Granted things may change when I get to the 30's like Steaks eluded to but for now things are moving along and my guild and I are having fun.


If there is a need to dimiss people's opinions on these forums, I would start by discounting those that don't donate regularly to keep the server running. If we are going to have to wade through countless pages of trolling threads the least the trolls can do is pay for the server development.

The servers boring, there was less than 100 on Saturday at peak time. I was here day opening and have seen people drop off like flies. When I say it blows my mind that a level 13 is talking it's because I mean you haven't gone through any kind of difficulty yet. You have played in Qeynos and Blackburrow - come talk to me in a couple months. We still have a guild mate monk who's lvl 40 who logs on every day see's noone online and logs. You really don't know shit and are comming here arguing against making a change which could help the population - and it pisses me off. I don't go post on how to suck a dick threads and try to fuck your hobby up.

I feel sorry for your 40th level Monk friend.

The assumption that a drastic increase in the XP is going to "fix" EQ classic is unproven and pushing people quickly to 50 with such a limited amount of PvP content will bring about it's own set of problems.

Sucking dick aside, your opinion is as valid as anyone elses.

Please name a few of the problems in this "set of problems"
At lvl 30 I have been attacked only one time. Pushing exp to bring everyone to the same lvl is the ONLY solution to a low population server. Once everyone gets the grind out of the way, most people camp resist gear and pvp. This is what creates pvp and entertainment on the red server. Not mindlessly chipping away at 50 lvls in some armpit of a zone that maybe gets 3 people to it max a day.
