Red99 Stimulus Plan (some constructive feedback)

I also like the suggestion of <lvl 20 exp boost then only a slight exp boost for higher lvls (keep holiday bonus)

I can get on board with that.

A slight boost to pre-20 levels and a constant 25% boost.

Just due to the difficulty of leveling on this kind of a server.

The lack of Gm-Community communication is dissapointing.

I am posting about a 12 year old emulated online video game about dwarves and elves, on new years.

Yes, this is perfect ... that would take away all the worries! No rush to 50, slightly faster to 20 when you are made of paper and die super easily with limited options .... then past 20 it's just fast enough to be satisfying when killing stuff. Mmm.. I like. Anyone else here agree? And yes, I am posting this at 2am on new years =p

Don't feel bad im drunk and posting at 7:45 AM.

It's the best solution, tbh I'm so sick of seeing NEC's like seriously people have some balls and quit playing EZ mode.

We need that early boost to compensate for melee/hybrid shitiness at those levels + the fact that you will be constantly under attack by wizards or necros while you try and solo your light blues lol.

That would work, imo.

XP Rate isn't the problem imo, its getting a group together that's the hard part. One problem newcomers are met with closed arms. PLing is definately hurting, not helping the population as far as 1-20 grouping. The other day I tried to join a guy who was getting a PL in CB, he said I would hurt his xp too much. Daaaaaaamn bro, dagger to the face with that comment. So we need to come up with solutions that don't involve developers GMs.

Before you solo that red con like a boss maybe you should join a group instead. Make friends, socialize, have fun, and suffer the grind with 5 other peeps.

Druids,Cleric,ect. goto the Orc Lift for a few min a day and buff some newbs. Mages go DS some people and hand out pet weapons like its Christmas. You get the idea, help your fellow player at low levels. 1-35 most people are just xping or ganking, no srs guild vs guild pvp until then so lets get people up to par.

Druids/Wizs seriously I havent seen a single person offer ports publically. I know you don't owe anyone but everyone remembers that in classic. Selling ports is as classic as it gets. Lets get these lowbie where they need to be. Just 1 port a day will keep the nerdrage at bay.

TL DR let us rely on each other rather than a GM to hear our cries. If we want this server to strive we gotta put some work into it. Love you.

I agree with Samwise. The problem isn't the slow xp rate, what's wrong is that EQ is inherently flawed in some very serious ways. With a faster xp rate, solo classes will just fly by group dependent classes that much faster. And paladins will continue to wear their fashionable LFG tags. Having well-know central xp hubs help, like CB for 1-20. But beyond CB, there are just so many options that players have to choose from hehe :P

Really, I think once kunark is released things will be better. I kinda hate to say it, but the common LoIO/OT/DL route will give everyone a much clearer idea of where they should be, and where the other players are. Adding in the non-classic LFG tool would be a good idea, even though it's not classic :/

Imo games that allow high level characters to temporarily de-level to group with noobs have the right idea. Not that this is a viable option here, I'm just saying.. EQ wasn't perfect :P

[SamwiseRed]

Yup LFG tool wont change the classic feel. A group is a group no matter how it was put together. And Nell is right, fast xp just means soloers/PLers will have an easier time. Whether a rogue is geting 1x or 3x, shits gonna suck solo.
