Much (all?) of the removed xp bonus was only intended to be in place temporarily, as something nice Rogean did after the server was DDoSed for a while. Blue had the same bonus, but theirs was removed long ago. We should have been expecting this sooner or later, and it's been 6 months of VZTZ xp rate + 1-50 scaling bonus. I feel that everyone leaving over this should do it quietly, because your negativity is really creating an atmosphere of doom and gloom that affects the rest of us. It's a shame you're leaving, but don't try to drag the rest of us down with you just because you don't want to play the game anymore.

This is a good change, when considering the long-term. If the established community here is truly worried about the hit to population, they should be working to alleviate the "harm" done by PLing new players and handing out gear when they can. With the xp rate lowered, such measures will actually have a greater impact on the individual and it will allow for more community growth. When the low levels inform ooc about a fungi twink, run over there and immy heal the people that deserve it.

If anything, this is an opportunity for the good guys to shine. People were too comfortable with easymode xp before, and comfort results in apathy and dulled wits. We never wanted apathetic players that didn't care about their characters or reputations.

If you were sincere in your efforts to recruit more blue players, Heartbrand, now is the time to stop complaining and take action.

"Beware of the beast man. For he is the devils pawn. Alone among gods primates, he kills for sport, or lust, or greed....
Yay he will murder his brother to posses his brothers land.
"Let him not breed in great numbers,
for he will make a desert of his home, and yours.
Shun him, drive him back into his jungle layer. For he is the harbinger of death."

Let Project 1999 Red be it's own beast, do not attempt to control it, or govern it. Experience bonus is a must, as it is needed to compensate for the detrimental PvP has on PvE...

We are focused on PvP, not leveling. Unfortunately, leveling is a necessary rite to participate in the majority of PvP battles, contesting.

I like the viciousness of Red99, please keep it that way. Give xp, keep 8 lvl ranges, keep PvP alive and active. I beg of you don't World of Warcraftinize this beautiful box.

Shits... classic??? haha I can take or leave the XP but would honestly like to see some work done to encourage grouping. A new player shouldn't have to be told "Dont roll a class that cant solo." That really pigeonholes ppl into classes they dont really want to play.

so next on your docket of suggestions to staff is remove the ability to buff /pl and prevent newbs to be given gear? gotcha.

Are you talking to me?

I've been pushing for them to delete the blue server. Or merge it into red. This would be the most help, honestly.

But in the way of things that might actually happen, I dunno. Blue transfers would be interesting. I've wondered if any blue guilds would consider making the jump as a cohesive unit. Probably would have been more likely before they added in the simulated repops.

Beyond that and the eventual teams server, I dunno. Things reach a point where only the community can help itself.

Oh, maybe they could make the pnp rules even bluer in hopes of making the bluebies less scared... but we've probably reached a good balance there already by forcing lns rules. It'd be kinda cool to see people being punished for "causing intentional xp loss" when they attack people engaged with NPCs.
