Red Server Changes

[Tuffpuppy]

Peace out Red99. Leveling up as a new player on the server when there isn't anyone your level to group with was worth it with an exp bonus. I see no point in trying to catch up. There is just not enough lower population to justify changing this now.

Here's the reaction from Red Dawn guild chat, home to a majority of newer players who are still leveling:

"This sucks I'm out"
"This is awful"
"Well I guess I'm quitting"

There could be a 10,000% exp bonus on this server but it's meaningless without players to group with. The dynamic of red means you're stuck to grouping with your own guild, which means there might be ONE cleric if you're lucky for your group, ONE enchanter, etc. Melees are going to get absolutely FUCKED by this. I just don't even x1000000000000000000000000

Also I really hope this decision wasn't rushed in favor of discouraging those recently banned from rerolling. As this doesn't effect them nearly as much as the new player who sees 1 person while they are trying to level, who most of the time is a twinked alt who just wants you dead.

I would like clarification of what criticism is unacceptable.

[Xantille]

Damn. Shit was just getting good too, ya feel?

[Rec]

How are people discouraged from rerolling if the xp bonus is still in effect 1-50?

[Nothxu]

This is like the blue server now with 150 people instead of 1000. Why would you nerf experience without adding in a group modifier to slightly compensate for the nerf?

Sigh, I guess I am not surprised. I'm glad I did all my leveling. I feel bad for Red Dawn.

Funny they make a change like this in the same post about how you can't complain about the state of the server. What a joke.

It just feels like this wasn't thought out. Exp removal before group bonus? The HUGE pvp level range that now will mean you get shit on for a 2x longer period that isn't fixed to 4 level? Keeping one of the largest exp hubs in sol b FFA? You can't just take out an infected organ from a person without having a new one to put in first.

for reals, I have all the toons I want at 60 already.. pretty much doesnt even affect people like me and heartbrand but this is just bad news. I've noticed a lot of people quit over stuff in patches since that one time in classic they made mobs flee more. This removal of the XP is bad news [You must be logged in to view images.
