It's pretty easy to not engage in XP gaining activities if it's a bother to gain more XP than normal.

I cannot wrap my head around the idea where an small exp bonus bothers anyone. If you are level 60 stfu you dont grind. If you are not lvl 60 just be happy and stfu and enjoy the higher exp rate. If it really bothers you just logout and stfu. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

IDK how i feel about exp gains. Personally, I think if a game is about exp gain then you're playing it wrong. If a game is so engaging that you never even look at the exp bar then you know it's doing its job. The problem with EQ is that it has too much camping, too much repetitiveness. Things that might make the class more interesting are locked behind the grind. Gaining levels should happen in the process of learning - when we're having fun. Then when the fun starts to fade, the learning should happen again. In that way, we'd never really grind. And most of the people here have played EQ since 1999. Even if a zone is new, the game still plays the same. Not much is new. So we're all more likely to stare at the exp bar because we're just plain bored.

What would happen if green mobs or gray gave experience?

I'm assuming the exp exponentially increases so it wouldn't be much. Anyone know?

Got on an alt after server crash.
Died in Blackburrow, went to retrieve my body...
<100% exp announcement>
Log alt without retrieving body
Frantically beg for a port to Emerald Jungle
Get lost in Emerald Jungle
Finally find CoM and group for maybe two hours.

It helped, but it didn't change that I lost the Supple Scale Armband I'd just looted in Karnor right before the crash /sadface

I was super excited about the exp bump.
My brother just started again on this server and my brother-in-law and I PLed his new SK, from 1 to 22 in the 4 hours of 100% bonus.

I think it's 25% due to the lolfail from Sony + 25% due to the lolfail of last week very temporarily toped-up to 100% due to the server being down a couple of hours (?) yesterday evening. By the time I write this, the extra 50% boost has probably been already removed.

*Waits for Zuranthium to come and moan about xp boost not being implemented at this time in Classic and biaises the game in some way that only he understands* (yes that's a bait).

I'm starting to see a pattern. Usually there is a discussion going on in a thread, and then you show up and ruin it.
