Server Return

[Malrubius]

I voted against the xp bump - since I'm afraid its going to feel a little peq-ish. But it's not a showstopper being only a week.

Hmm...or maybe I'll start an SK alt [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I agree 100%. This is a very bad idea. I am a new member, joining a few weeks prior to the ddos attack. While the experience bonus would be nice, I strongly disagree with it! I believe it it hurts the integrity of the game and once any exception is made to a process it highly increases the chances that others will be made. This is fact.

Another reason is that it's not fair. What if someone is traveling on business next week and unable to play? They waited as long as the rest of us, but why should they miss out on the experience bonus? Plus, if i wanted easy experience I'd stay on the EZ server.

On a side note, excellent job with everything else!!

yeah i agree, an xp bonus, while a nice gesture may be a little too un-classic for most (and this is coming from someone without a level 50)

So you are against the bonus but you are also upset because you might miss out on the bonus while others can take advantage of it calling it "not fair"?

It's simple, don't play during the week and you will not suffer the indignities of "easy experience". Also, the classic server embodies many things which the EZ server does not. By implying that some extra experience puts this server on par with the EZ server is completely ridiculous.

Lastly, this in no way jeopardizes the integrity of the server. The people in charge of the server are mature and have a vision and are sticking to it. It's 50% experience for ONE week. This is not a "gateway drug" to other drastic changes to the mechanics of Classic EQ. Thank you for overreacting.

It looks like you attributed that comment to me. I didn't write that. Just sayin. Please attribute that quote to the proper person.

[Sono_hito]

well, it will good incentive for us new guys that are just joining. Even if its a little "unclassic"

[lamruil]

im not 50 yet and definably dont want an XP increase

I don't really get the whole "unfair" aspect people keep mentioning with regard to the XP bonus. I mean really sometimes I just can't play EQ that day I don't want everyone else to be penalized for my RL getting in the way.

I don't care either way I already hit 50 I just think it's rude to bitch about it when Rogean is basically just trying to say "THANKS" for everyone being patient and putting up with this bullshit. It's a nice gesture and hardly game breaking. *shrug*

I agree... the way I see it is:

It's a gift, and everyone is whining about how they don't want it. Kinda messed up to me. Accept it, enjoy it, move on.

I haven't played a single bit yet on this server, because I only found out about it during this downtime period. That said, an XP bonus for a week is just stupid. The whole idea of p99 to me is that it's not for the faint of heart and it's a challenge.

If you want something with an XP bonus, go play WoW
