Numerical Proof of Kunark Experience Discrepencies

Imagine a world where we need to rush to the forums to clear up every misconception that people post. Jeez, sounds like an exhausting, unproductive life.

Not at all! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] It would be insane if you had to answer every concern from this forum!

But look, you and Nilbog often say stuff to the effect that "this place (and Green in particular) is all about classic EQ", right? I'm not being unfair and putting words in your mouth by saying that?

You'll also admit that a one month moratorium on quest XP isn't classic: it's an objective fact that there was no quest XP disabling in the first month of Kunark in '00, correct?

All I'm saying is, after ten-plus years of saying "classic is priority #1" ... only on the very rare occasions when you do something that directly contradicts what you've been saying for ten years ... would it really be so terrible to give us a sentence or two explaining why?

How about you stfu, in case you hadn't noticed, people think you are annoying and literally noone is standing up for you.

I've posted similar things in the past, you aren't the p1999 spokesperson, no matter how hard you pretend to be or believe to be. Your thinly veiled bullshit is appreciated by exactly noone.

Hope this helps, enjoy your day!

In case you didn't notice, Nilbog posted neither him or Rogean are aware of intentional changes, yet you continue whining about them not giving an explanation, so here is a reminder:

There are no known changes to the exp rate between green and blue. If there is something different with it, we will need to take some time and examples to work through the code and discover what it is. Quickly conferring with Rogean, he is also not aware of any intentional changes made.

I never try to speak for anyone, and certainly not anyone I respect as much as you and Rogean. My apologies if I came across as trying to speak for you or anyone else.

However ... your actions have spoken for you, and you have chosen (as you very often do) not to explain those actions. As a result, I'm left not understanding how you (or anyone else) could think the most classic thing to do was disable quest XP for a month. Disabling a fundamental part of classic EQ (on the server you spent ten years preparing for) doesn't seem like something a person who puts classic EQ first would do.

And again, not trying to speak for anyone ... but the only reason staff has presented has been that it was "speed running" related (the explanation given was something to the effect that quest XP would let people level too fast, especially given the fact that people could use multiple accounts to store quest items). Clearly the reason wasn't because (after ten years) you suddenly just discovered that quests give XP ... so in the absence of any further explanation, based on your actions, it truly seems to an outside observer like myself that speed running > classic EQ now.

I'd love to be able to discuss that without it being a Rant or Flame, but if need be I'm happy to move there.

Server health is a consideration and has been for quite some time. This is a classic emulation but it isn't classic, we know a lot more now, and if people were allowed to play the game today unfettered with all that knowledge we would still have armies of elves running around instagibbing dragons with ivandyr's hoop spam. Or we'd all still be leveling 51-60 AOEing in Chardok. Then there was the GM managed rotation and class system which was an attempt to address P99's very non-classic raid scene and make it look a little more like servers actually did. It wasn't that they discovered that quests gave XP, the problem was that enough of the community discovered these avenues to the extent that it started to undermine core gameplay, with people collecting scrolls and fangs and chips and scalps and ears or whatever else instead of fighting monsters.

Anyways, thanks for the productive post.

It should be fairly trivial to spawn and kill a few hundred Dyrna Nlith to compare numbers on Blue to test this, no?

Comments like this just demonstrate that you don't care about the server or the game.

Never seen Loramin this pissy over something, well played staff. Maybe he was hoarding scrolls too.
