I think there is a general consensus at this point that we can increase the 1-20'ish exp rate (in some way) and get a lot more casuals playing here, without really hurting the overall "classic" experience that is a lengthy 1-to-50 grind.

1-20 is probably too much. By level 15 or so the game has essentially "started" with almost all classes having most of their abilities. Again I don't see why people play if they don't enjoy playing, is it really only fun when you hit 50? That's when I lose interest.

Anyway, I think a gradual decrease in the bonus would work best. Like 1-2 you get a 100% bonus, 2-3 you get 90%, 3-4 you get 80%, and so on. This way you quickly fly through those boring as fuck early levels and have your spells and such.

I suggest a server where on login everyone starts at level 1, but has spells/abilities memmed already. They gain plat from mob and player kills, and about 100x experience, and they can take that plat back to their home base to buy equipment. Skills level up without having to train or scribe, and you gain a bad ass move at level 6, 11, and 16.

also, it's a team based 5v5 and only one person per team can be a certain class.

Today I had a friend tell me her 13 year old cousin wanted to install the game and play it. I told him to read the guide. He currently is watching T.V.

It's simply too hard to get people to install the game and start playing it. The allure of EQ will exist to players without any exp bonus.

I am all for helping out classes that can't solo. Getting more players on the server will help that.

I don't like exp loss on pvp death, but I'm just one person. I don't think it's smart. It's adding insult to injury imo.

Surprised no one has made an easy step by step to downloading a p99/r99 client and installing it perfect. I saw that one thing was close, I DL it but it doesn't download eq for me. Shame. A little goes a long way.

I could kick down some cash to someone who programs and advertises a simple install for p99/r99 if that's legal / ok with the admins.
