the whole leveling is enjoyable aspect is malarkey because it takes 2 hours to get a decent group together thus the problem is the game
just as eq is not meant to have accelerated xp it is also not meant to have 1 player in all mid level zones kthx

Well that's true too, we gotta keep at it and try a little harder to get groups going than we did in classic. This is why I like the idea of hotzones. Get those level ranges centralized imo!

I agree with Wolfram. Not about us bluebies running you off the server (this was a tongue-in-cheek comment that went over a lot of your heads), but about red players being too soft to make it in EQ. Since the server has been released, a good portion of you have been whining incessantly.

"It's too hard to exp!"

"Please dumb down the pve for us, we're red and red players are special; we deserve to be pampered and catered to!"

Sorry to so harshly express myself, but this is how I feel. You were griefed off of EQ by your sense of entitlement and unwillingness to play the game. There's nothing wrong with it, no one's saying you have to like EQ. But EQ is not meant to have accelerated xp. It's a social game, and you're supposed to care more about making/playing with friends and enemies than you are about reaching max level, imo. You remember being max level on live, and that's what sticks out in your minds the mos, and it's what you're striving for here. Do you even know why you don't like being level 20? I had a LOT of fun at level 20 on live.

If you don't find leveling to be enjoyable, the problem is not the game. It's you, and you should accept the fact that EQ has become too hardcore for you to play. Stop complaining, move on to an easier MMO and get on with your lives. Please. Because you're scaring away other players, who may actually enjoy playing EverQuest.

What I think is way funny is that a lot of these players that have quit or are whining are people that told me I couldn't survive here. Softcore is lots more hardcore than y'all [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Quoting this because he's right.

Whine for a classic server, get it, whine it's classic, whine it's too slow, whine whine whine.

EQ is too hard for you. Quit. You aren't hardcore, pvp, or blue. You're just bad and refuse to accept that simple fact after 50+ threads bawwing at xp rates, no YT, and other shit catering to the terribad vztz cesspool.

Stop agreeing with me, you're hurting my cause! :P

The reddest players are on top right now dawg. Coincidentally they're also leveled rather quickly, and those that aren't, are still doing so steadily.

Couple very red players have low play time and are thus lower level I will say, but its not a majority.

So, will the people that really have what it takes to win in EQ come over here and present a challenge?

This is supposed to be a red server. We don't want a hardcore blue server, which is what this actually is. That's what we got because a handful of vocal bluebies (who quit the first time they get corpse camped by someone) junked up the beta feedback threads by trashing things like global chat channels and accelerated exp rate. Features that had been on every other PvP server prior to this one that the majority of the playerbase supported.

I'm not sure how speeding up the tedium of grinding equates to "dumbing down the PvE". How do you figure? Do you think that's the challenging part of the game?

They will do and say anything to turn this into a blue server with PvP... exactly the wrong approach to take with so many people on the internet looking for a true PvP experience now. We still have a gigantic opportunity here to bring back the red aspects of Everquest and introduce a whole new generation to the wonder and immersion that we all remember. I really hope they don't blow it for us.

I think it was probably the devs who decided not to include VZTZ features, not some vocal bluebies. Because the devs set out to make a classic pvp server, not some EQ deathmatch thing where everyone starts at level 50.

Maybe I'm being too abrasive when I use phrases like "dumbing down," but it's true that you and others are suggesting we do things that are not classic and imo detract from what makes EQ EQ.

I'm not here just to kill you, I'm here to play EQ. Why don't you like EverQuest?
