Do you gather herbs is that fun for you?

Fuzking turn up the exp! Im as serious as a heart attack! We all want to play but we refuse to waste time other then 10 min on these forums.

Just something to consider here: P99 itself didn't even have half the population it has now, upon release, or even within the first few months. It took time for the playerbase to grow and develop.

Yes, the XP grind can be brutal, however...the grind itself is part of classic, just like all the other things people want out of a classic server. Don't worry about getting 50, just play the game with your friends and enjoy yourselves, and if you can't then find another game or server that gives you the satisfaction you're looking for.

I personally had a rough time going from 1-16, I considered stopping entirely on more than one occassion... I haven't had to deal with this kinda grind in a long while, but after a while you get used to it and it gets easier.

Makes sense (Not really, I lied).

This exp stopped me at level 8.

So with 50% MOAR exp you would have given up at level 11? Just admit you cant handle red99 and tuck that tail in and run like the rest of the failures.

Edit - added MOAR

To a certain extent it does require skill to grind effectively and to gain experience at a reasonable rate. It requires knowledge of the game and basic math skills which apparently several players in this thread lack. If you're level 4 attacking a decaying skeleton and wondering why you aren't gaining an acceptable amount of experience, it's safe to say you are probably not very good at this game. Same goes for the player who farms light blues and wonders why his experience bar isn't going up very fast.

Please stop with this horrible straw man. No one is saying this and you know it.

Um. Read earlier in this thread. People were in fact saying those exact things.

My failures (notably, releasing content too soon and caving in to the most-hardcore contingent of players) served as learning experiences.

Its pretty damn funny that you admit one of your failures is caving into a group of players and now you suggest the GM's cave into another group of players.

How about this, quit bitching and play the game the dev's have been so gracious to allow us to play for free. If they ask you for specific feedback, give it. Do not try and change the parameters of the server to try and cater to a specific group. They have a vision! Let them do their thing, if you dont like it, dont play, no one will give any fucks. If you want to take 4 months to 50, join the crew thats fine too. The proof is the success of Blue, it took a while for it to grow but it clearly is the most prosperous EQEMU ever.
