I am so sick of coming to the Forums and seeing no change in the red box numbers, yet no changes are made. This is not blue we are not here for blue balls boxing. We want to get wet with the pvp! I just read a post that people WANT to get attacked while raiding but never do? wtf so sad.... what kind of box is this?

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.

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.

And thats my point. IF there is going to be a non-classic higher then 20 percent (like sullonzek) xp bonus, at least put it where it will actually help the server: as a grouping bonus.

We need more reason for players to group up and include the group dependent classes. Dedicate the non-classic portion of the xp bonus to grouping bonus.

Groups already have so much working against them. The xp is slower, more a pain in the butt to put together, non-optimal classes are shunned like the plauge (lol rangers), and its exausting as a puller to keep enough mobs in the group to even come within the same universe as solo (or duo) xp.

Groups all around are a ton more work for all those involved, for LESS xp.

Its sad but true, but soloing even as a bad solo class is better xp:

i'm never getting use to this exp rate tbh, people tell me "ITS GREAT EXP MAN" i come to the group, we litteraly slay 100 mobs within 10 minutes, i realise i've only gotten 1%...

I think group exp is so retarded slow soloing is a more viable option, and i'm a monk.

Fuck

Everyone knows the above is true, i've experienced it myself.

Troll that is a great idea.

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!

XP boost to 45 plz
