xp rate is now fixed, da da da da da da da de de de de de deal wit it

Well I went on blue and the xp there wasn't fixed - unless that's how it's always been, and if that's the case I'm off this server. 30 plus mobs for level 2 is just insanity!. I can't afford to blow that much time on a game, and how anyone can on a game is beyond me. Especially a game this old, as it must have a more mature player base anyway as younger people couldn't handle this graphics engine.
I said in OOC about it being slow and they said it's classic, the best way. I'm sorry, but you're all freaks if you think that is a fun way to spend your time.

I killed a blue con at level 2, and I couldn't even see the xp gain. Level 2!? wtf is that about seriously, it makes me lol to be honest.

I started an hour before my first post. I saw the post " XP = Slow", didn't read the thread name ( possibly my bad ) as I thought it was relevant. Possibly because it is needlessly slow on blue server.
And you shouldn't worry, Samwise, I fully intend to take my shit elsewhere... Peace!.

Only reason I've seen this post was that firefox opens all my previous pages when I run the browser, but I have to say Samwise, it makes perfect sense.
I was always on Blue server. As I mentioned in the reply, I didn't notice the thread was in the PvP community. I posted about an hour after I played for the first time, and I thought everyone felt it was slow as well.
People say they're hardcore because they play the game at this rate. I say it's not hardcore, it's unrealistic with having a live a life. It always was when I was on live, but I tolerated it due to there being nothing else on the market, but I really didn't enjoy spending months leveling one character, it was once I finally made one the game opened up to me, and my nostalgic experience began.
Why everyone on EQ feels that spending hours grinding countless mobs is part of there nostalgic experience is beyond me. The rate of gain sucked ass back then, because SoE just wanted you playing for insane and health damaging amounts of time to get your money, which newer mmo have done away with.
Anyway, happy grinding to you all. you're far more dedicated than I am, or maybe that's not the word lol... Peace!

There's a point to the slower levelling process (meeting more people, chances for run ins/issues/getting nameds to pop a few times while being in that zone xping etc) but the population here isn't very high.

The game here is 50+ because that's who has stuck around.

The newbie areas here were once ripe with people running the bard notes and getting bundy quested, out running hails of fire bolts while killing darkweed snakes in east commons (oh the immersion) etc. However, many people couldn't take the "grief" of being attacked by another player.... couple that with guards not protecting them and they'd log off immediately and just never look back.

The xp bonus is to get people away from the grind and into the game.

However, I did level alts on live, and found myself solo'ing quite a bit in Velious etc due to this very same population behavior.

We need at least elemental resistances around 150 to be more meaningful and resist caps on root/ensnare spells, not asking for an entire overhaul or perfection or anything, just major issues that need to be brought in line that grief off new players (especially ones who remember that having 80 magic resist shouldn't get you rooted almost 100% of the time kiting!). Once that is done, it will be time to promote the box again. I don't want to lure people here only to have them leave forever. If this is cleaned up, we can construct an email with all the fixes and some enticing screen shots or videos linked in it to get people back.
