It's not so much that I have to grind as it is that the server hegemon of exploiting RMTers got off so easy and now that people are finally making a move against them, they're being restrained by an unfair abolishment. Are you aware of how much more work it is to go 50-60 than it is 1-50?

At least let the pop grow a little more and let these new players get some levels. 50+ too. Bring back the exp.

I've always known why live was so painfully slow, as they wanted to keep you paying for as long as possible, but this shouldn't be that way. I work, I have things to do, sitting down at a computer burning all of my spare time to not actually get anywhere really is just not fun.
This aspect of the game wasn't that fun on live if I'm honest, but I tolerated it, because there was nothing else on the market that did what EQ did at the time. Don't get me wrong, I had some good times on EQ, but that was later in game with friends and guild.
I love this game, but it's not worth dedicating my entire life to it... again, 13 years after original release.

Please help us new players out

Well my heart definitely felt something when I loaded this up to then spend the next hour+ killing around 30 white con mobs to ding level 2. Probably the early stages of a heart attack imagining how long it'd be until I was 60.

All you noobs, please hit up Saidin in game for a port or some help.

I will help you if I can, I am pretty busy usually when I'm on, so don't be offended If I don't respond.

But please, hit me up I like helping the new people.
Thanks,that's really appreciated, but even with help I just don't think I have the stomach for it.
I've always hated how EQ favoured the jobless in it's hay day though, and how you had to dedicate your life to getting anywhere.
EQ holds some fond memories, but the insane grinding really wasn't one of them, and this is even slower than what Live was when I left! lol.

Also has blue always been this slow xp rate?.

It's the peeps who have never seen a wipe calling for one.



If they do wipe though... I say you, Pathin, and I bring back <Crucify> 2013.
