XP = SLOW....

[Smokey012]

Well I came on here looking to relive the EQ experience, as I did enjoy the sandbox style and varied race and class this had to offer. I haven't made a scene, or offended/attacked anyone, so ignoring me was slightly uncalled for... but, your call. I certainly wont be losing any sleep. lol

All I did was say that it's to slow for me to start again, and I'd noticed this thread and thought I'd say what I thought.
I'd hoped that as this was a non-SOE server, that maybe the rates would've been slightly higher than they were. I'm not asking for much higher, just enough to make even limited time actually worth something.They were only ever that high because they wanted you on the game paying money for as long as possible. It was the first big MMO, so everything was experimental at this stage, and to me this was something that needed to be addressed.

And as far as me being the only one holding a job and playing this, then I do seriously worry about some of you. This game came out in 99, the youngest on here must be mid 20's, and you're still sitting here 24/7 playing this?. Think possibly some of you need a reality check.

look , alot of you new guys will have to come to terms with a few things here

First , you wont relive any previous glory, it is gone and for that era and that era alone 12 years ago.

If you do decide to play here you will spend almost all of your time leveling for the next 6 months or so ( playing at a casual pace )

You will also most likely level solo with no gear or friends and fight twinks, if this is a problem dont play here.

If you do decide to stick it out will it be worth it? No , theres no guild to look forward to joining , there almost no pvp and the server has a few critical bugs that make it extremely frustrating.

Not to mention the majority of players on the server are extremely mad cause they suck at life or are high / bragging about being high like thats cool.

What i just said my sound harsh but its the truth. Most people have a hard time handling the truth in life. But i believe in just coming out and saying stuff and giving people all the info so they can make a choice for themself.

Goodluck if you do stay

It is

This is SUPPOSED to be an exactly classic server.

Everyone has the goal of reaching 60.

Just pace it out and you'll get there eventually.

The game is supposed to level you slowly. High pop servers were more of a social experience and less about Omg must be max level and raiding for most of the live population.

Just try to find your own way to enjoy it. I have a ton of xping to go even at 56 and it is in no way a turn off because I actually enjoy playing the game itself and the classic mechanics and non-instanced world.

Off topic/random thought: players that pushed mmos into instanced content have a loser mentality.

At 55 + you are already able to raid and just kick back and not worry about xp. You can get into most groups and farm most gear as if you were 60.

Imagine your character is deleted and you start at level 1.

Everyone else for months has gotten a 50% more bonus then you to level.

Better yet there is no reason that anyone will confirm as to why it was changed.

This will not even effect most of the players here because they are above 50 meaning its directly targeted at you and not others who already have an advantage over you.

Not a friendly new player environment.

This can be taken care of very easily and I am speaking from my capacity.

The thing is, if youre a pvper first and intend to do large doses of pvp to offset the grind, youll probably end up with more grind unless youre a hardcore twink. Theres not a whole lot you can do beside grind to the top and pvp

Theorycrafting about what makes the server classic is good and all, but id rather have a 250+ pop server that is classic-ish than a 75 one that is more strictly classic.

At this point im pretty sure everyone agrees that server isnt pure classic.

Its just a question of what you should tweak

I've helped with a few epics and spent most of my time farming plat for gear (I'm shinin' boy). I still have xp as a priority, its not instant 60 and I'm glad about it.

I've enjoyed my time contesting my xp/farming spots. Some people just like the items and being max level... I like playing.

I cannot believe that the staff thought this was a good idea, and just when the population was just getting to bearable levels.
