People can level from 27-45 there in a few days. That is very classic xp i'm sure you people that leveled there would say.

Someone posted a thread with the current ZEM of the zone compared to Lower Guk a few weeks back warning the Dev's that Sol A is giving stupid amounts of XP and the thread was deleted.

You can actually go from 18 to 48 in 2-3 weeks. But that was just as feasible in classic.

Look at Galahad. 1-50 without leveling in sol A in much less time (wasn't it two weeks on the dot? maybe it was 3. either way) than the people who did level in sol a.

Now if you can show me the exact ZEMs of the zone on live and prove that its different from on this server.... then fine. From what I've been told and what I've experienced, it's just like live.

Not the same post. This is someone else that noticed something wrong.

The post I am refering to compared hard numbers from SolA and Lower Guk on the p1999 server. How that person got the information I do not know and was probably why it was deleted.

If you guys are fine with the stupid XP there I am fine with it. About time I level an alt now anyhow.

I think sol A is way too fast. Here is why:

At level 45 killing a teal gnome in sola gives about 1.25 "ticks" of blue, aka 4 kills gives 1 blue bubble of exp. This is for a teal mob that is about 15 levels lower than me and have about 1200 hit points.

For comparison the other mobs i found that gave the same amount of experience per kill were level 40+ ice giants outside of perma which have like 3500 hit points maybe more.

For further comparison duoing with a 50 mage, even with half the gnomes not giving experience was roughly twice as fast as killing kobolds in solb with the same duo.

I am not sure why everyone thinks that Sol A is just fine, honestly it doesn't matter much now since 90% of the 40+ people lived in there from 20 to 47 and leveled at breakneck speed. If it were changed now it would simply be unfair to those that did not yet take advantage of it. In classic no exp spot could you sit down in with a full group at level 35 and be 39 within a couple hours.

harazzer's logic on this one is pretty good, actually.

[ferris]

Has thing happened yet?

[Reiker]

sol a gnomes were the best exp possible in classic, fyi.

[Galahad]

Is there a specific reason the ZEMs are going to be changed to non-classic numbers? The classic values are widely accessible. Is this a "for the server benefit" change like global /ooc etc?

Those numbers are after the changes here which were done in velious with the big experience change patch.
