XP = SLOW....

[Nuncio]

As others have said, if the XP is being kept as is after the patch, please remove PvP death XP loss.

+1 to this thread. This patch was a major step backwards for red. Very disappointing to see xp nerf coupled with no resist changes or YT. Sirken buddy red's future is depending on you leading the crusade for us with Rogean and Nilbog. We gotta make serious change if you want pop to stay up.

please do not say bad things about my guides. i'm going to try and set up a play date with Nilbog and Rogean to see if we can't find a middle ground.

and by middle ground, i don't necessarily mean things that will help the 50+ crowd, so much as i mean things that could help the people that need it (ie: new players, sub lvl 50 players, etc). ideally we want new players to have fun, because at the end of the day thats what decides if people will continue playing, hit the 50+ crowd, and join gen pop.

another thing is that right now R99 (in terms of trying to compare to a live pvp server) is a Frankenstein bastard child. i will try to see if we could fully hammer down either Vallon, Tallon, Sullon, Rallos, ruleset.

i know life isn't always fair. you can play the hand youre dealt like a big boy, or, you can fold your cards and go play WoW

Thanks

The mongol hoard I brought with me is pissed about the no xp bonus. Just when you guys were so close to a 200+ server pop, you had to pull the plug. **shakes head**

getting a text message every time heartbrand tries to guess my password in order to steal my three AoNs is more important than keeping or raising the population

You know, the grind does not bother me. In all honesty I prefer slower leveling and yes, it feels more like classic with less EXP. That said, it is the fact that our competitors have had such a helping hand with the EXP bonus (confirmed) and all the other shit that is alleged to have occurred. As I said, give us a level playing field and watch the population and the quality of your PvP gaming experience, rise.

Indeed, with EQnext to be announced in more detail this year, you are going to see a general rise in our server population as a result. I would hazard a guess and say that this has already started to occur.

Another related driver for the recent increased EQ server population (which is not just confined to project1999 but includes other EMU servers) is also down to the poor selection of mmorpgs available, particularly those with a more free form PvP type of game play. Despite all the marketing rhetoric, in terms of more open world, sandbox-ie style gameplay, there is little on offer that can better the EQ experience.

sorry you didnt get the message , eqnext was bankrupted and they were forced to sell their intellectual property to dragon age

their game still exists but its garbage

[Tomatoking]

heres a newsflash they dont want the population up

try to think about why they wouldnt and maybe it will hit you

Consistency... That's what it's all about. Keep it the way it was, no extra, no less.

Not a problem. People want to experience the game, and will farm for loot any plat like they've always done in the past.

Nerfing XP isn't a way to help people get money or gear. That's just a time sink.

You will not enjoy the game fighting me naked.

A lesser skilled player in my gear would not enjoy fighting Nihilum.

Mayhaps you can see the logical progression here and where on the beat down totem pole this puts you when you arrive at 50-52.

Super fast XP helps Nihilum farm up tons of alts to loot all that rotting VP gear so they can camp all their alts at raid targets. If you wipe them? They will log in alt wave 1, then 2, then 3... they have way more free time during the day than you. Take it from someone who pulled an all nighter having a battle of the wills with Dekadenz in OOT. He can do that every night, I can't :P.

A classic xp system is good but not with this population, new players will burn out. Their only "massively multiplayer experience" lvls 1-44 will probably be getting unclassicly permarooted and beat down by an earth pet, or getting rooted kiting/quadding reliably after they've farmed up 70mr in resist gear. People saying magic resist is fine believe everyone should have a tcrown or something. What the hell are they smoking?

This post made by someone who can handle truly classic xp (I could easily BundyQuest with a rogue... inb4 wizard), has all of this resist gear and sees the problem.
