As others have said, try WoW.

This is a classic red EQ server and the xp is already way too fast for what is intended to be a CLASSIC red EQ server.

The only point I will agree with you on is leveling alone/solo, and that is a symptom of the huge global xp bonus on this server being solo based and not grouping based.

If they would only reduce the flat global xp rate to CLASSIC sullon zek levels, 20 percent, and placed the remaining xp bonus into a group based one (the bigger the group the higher the xp bonus) it would solve your problem.

You'd be able to find groups since groups would be a little bit more viable for xp then the pure soloing or PLing route now and you'd have fun playing Everquest as intended and not even notice what level you were.

The big elephant in the room here is that a select few solo to 60 or get PLed to 60 via the huge xp bonus, and ALL the group dependent classes are left out in the cold /lfg in vain.

I'm like you I work for a living!!! But unlike you I totally disagree. This is EQ not Counterstirke with guns, dota, or wow. It's all about the journey. After they give you more exp you're just going to whine about loot drops. It never ends. It's like this loss of XP on PVP deaths. There has to be penalties in place. Less QQ more PEWPEW.

Once you let everyone level toons all easy like they will get bored. 90% of the population is still leveling otherwise the box population would be 35 not 100+ during prime time.

Like Nirgon said. Obama does not protect this box. No hand outs sir!

I will say thank you for the xp bonus from months back. I think it's perfect right where it is.

People getting almost insta to 55 and gear being too easy to get leaves less time in between for precious PvP.

Unless you're a Troll SK. Slow as nuts even in a group. Still fun though!

I do want to roll a solo toon in the meantime to benefit the main in the long run.

*looking for bard/necro newbie items!

I have been playing this game longer then most of you I am sure of that. I was in Peacebreakers on RZ and then Curse. Played on all boxes for vz/tz. This game is for me and I love it. There is no other game out there that even comes close. I know that this server is stagnant at about 70 players. All of you have got the wrong idea how to make this server take off and this is obvious because every "Big" event like kunark, small exp bonus change, etc, all of it has failed. I don't want any hand outs I want to battle for end game gear for the next few years not level up in unrest alone because the server has no population. If things stay the same sadly there will be no fights over end game mobs. You will never even glimpse the glory of real pvp, involving big 20 v 20 v 6 battles. I have seen 3 guilds battling for 1 in total chaos with yellow text flaming the server, it was amazing. For those of you who have never done that I feel for you, these memories are and always will be some of the best I have of this game. Don't dispair though, the best part about this tale is we can do it again! I don't even care if exp was slowed down at 55. I just want guild battles for end game mobs! Not ONE no lifer guild running around protecting pixels with words on forums.

I wrote a nice post about how you need to put in the time to level up and appreciate the journey but I deleted it.

Instead i'm just gonna say that you would get raped in high level pvp anyway (gotta farm clickies and golem wands and resist gear) and you obviously ain't got time for dat.

xp bonus has never been the issue, its non soloing classes being left in the dust. its pretty bad here, a solo class can get to 55 in a week should they choose to neglect their RL. all xp bonus does it push the gap between soloers and group dependent classes even further.

doesnt help that every is rolling SKs. need more cleric/chanter/shaman to simmer down and group up mid levels.
