nod who do you think the post kunark release xp bonus benefitted the most? Obviously the biggest poopsockers with ridiculous amounts of /played

Should drastically increase grouping xp bonus, add in hot zones, remove hybrid penalty, or some combination of the 3. Blanket xp bonuses disproportionately benefit the poopsockers.

Not like this even has a chance of happening lol. this is another wasted thread. YT anyone?

I propose YT strike.

Let's all not log in until YT is put in, or until we can't stop the eq itch

discuss

Yeah that sounds about right, better than across the board xp boost

I think hotzones and xp loss removal would do tons to foster activity at low levels by bottlenecking all the actions

This and xp loss removal/cutting more important than YT, although i would not mind it being added (without the location of the kill)

-----

Basically thinkin all this through, revival recipe is, for me:

Hotzones, remove hybrid penalty, pvp xp loss removal or drastic cut with low bars on spawning, big group xp bonus, YT without locations. BAM thrive

P.S. Stop being assholes would help too

I soloed my paladin from 20-40 with a few duo/trio groups here and there in a few weeks of casual play. Really no need for an XP boost unless its 51-60

What does that even mean? I can level with .000001% exp rate of the blue server if I had to. Doesn't change the fact that this isn't supposed to be a grindy pve server.

You're forced to solo when starting out on this server. Fact.

Soloing as a Warrior / Rogue is rediculously time consuming. Possible yes, grinding light blues and bandaging to 50% then sitting till 100%.

Increase exp rate so they don't need to do this so often.

I still don't understand why people want to keep the rate as it is? What's the problem with fast exp? You'll all still be doing what you're doing....The bonus is MORE PLAYERS (for you to gank and laugh at).

Is Nihilum scared of competition? I don't get it.

If you want to appreciate the grind, go blue.

Hot zones are a good idea.

I hear people saying don't raise it....why? the pros outweigh the cons. Sure there's always things to complain about....doesn't change the fact that this betters the server more than hurts it.

You realize you're talking to a guy who is one of two 60 warriors on the server right? Your false premise is that this server isn't meant to be "Grindy," when in fact, the mission statement of this server has been posted many times, to emulate classic EQ. If you don't like the journey, perhaps LoZ is for you, I heard that server is thruvvvvving. All of the former garage boxes and loz with super fast exp and non-existent PVE prove the same thing: EQ is not meant to be CS with elves, and when it is, the longevity of said server is very short.

Woah wait. You leveled a warrior? Damn dude. You must have had a guild behind you for that, right? amIrite? Like groups and stuff....I mean warriors need heals and stuff right? God, let me know when you're in NYC- I need your autograph.

Better yet, can you PM a pic of yourself? I think I've got some lotion laying around somewhere...
