Yea I challenge anyone upset about their class's XP penalty to TRY PLAYING A WARRIOR.

Does anyone have or able to write up a exact chart on which class / race have what penalty.

In terms of group bonuses
How it should be:

2 person group - 2% total bonus.
3 person group - 6% total bonus.
4 person group - 10% total bonus.
5 person group - 14% total bonus.
6 person group - 20% total bonus.

What is it at the moment i think:
2 person group - 2% total bonus.
3 person group - 4% total bonus.
4 person group - 6% total bonus.
5 person group - 8% total bonus.
6 person group - 10% total bonus.

How it was when P1999 was live:

2 person group - 10% total bonus.
3 person group - 10% total bonus.
4 person group - 10% total bonus.
5 person group - 10% total bonus.
6 person group - 10% total bonus.

Actually, how it is now is how it should be.

@ President, do you think any major success in history came by asking once and being told "YES! We'll do that!"

Not a chance. You have to ask a thousand times, dragging yourself back each time, for what you really and truly believe in. If only on the 1000th time do you receive a yes, then you've succeeded.

You won't deter us from continuing to fight for what we believe to be welcome changes, sorry.

That sounds like blatent ignorance to me. If it's a good idea the first time you hear it why do you need someone to waste your time telling you 999 more times before you actually do anything about it?

A good idea is a good idea is a good idea. Only an idiot needs to be bashed over the head with a good idea 1000 times before they think it's acceptable to use it.

That being said, I don't support changing how the experience penalties work because if you rebalance the classes in any way you change how the game works...and thus, you change the game experience.

Maybe it was a dumb idea to give hybrid classes a 40% xp loss increase. Yeah it was but...that's how it was. If you want to make a custom server that's fine...I think there are a hundred on the list. But Project 1999 is very very very close to how the game originally was and by doing what they're doing they are the #1 EQ server out there, well aside from the live servers of course.

The reason I rejoined was for nostalgia. That's probably why I haven't even wanted to log into any other server than Project 1999. I'm sure a lot of other people feel the same way.

I wouldn't even play this game if this was Project 2005 or something because I wasn't playing EQ in 2005 and I don't know it.

Yeah, Warriors are amazing end game with the best equipment in the game but they require sooooooo much help to get there.

It's more like a guild should get together to power level / twink their warrior.

Your name reminded me of Emperor Gestahl, and your filthy empire... the Returners don't take kindly to your... kind.

So is everything working correctly? Race/class bonus/penalty shared across board in groups and a iksar shadowknight grouped with a halfling warrior will level at the same time? Group bonus working correctly? I can't seem to find a definitive answer.

People wouldn't complain so much about exp penalties if they actually made any sense.
