A wall of text on the global XP modifier, global OOC

If someone has input on why a high xp modifier is a good thing for long term population sustainability, I am all ears.

Why should I play on Red, which will have a reduced exp rate, and no one to group with, and have no serverwide chat to try to find groups, when I can just go onto Blue and get a group quickly?

A reasonable xp bonus modifier allows players to have a balanced social and work life outside of elfquest.

Killing a static mob on a 6 minute respawn timer alone in the middle of the Karanas with the same 2 spells for 1000 hours straight versus 100 hours straight doesn't make you a badass hero. It makes you an unbalanced individual that is probably neglecting other important aspects of your life.

These are the types of unbalanced individuals that post the batphone list of the enemy guild in the M4MMMM section on craiglist and hack kickstarter so they can steal your elf pixels.

The game came out in 1999, most of the normal people on this server are either approaching or have reached our 30's.

Let's all make sure our kids are properly fed and taken care of and then login to enjoy a little pvp.

i think 100% of everything you said is right on target... but it still dont get rid of the type of people who could ruin any community

I guess for one, leveling new alts is the only fun thing to do if you are casual. There is no competiting against an endless army of neckbeards so end game for some of us is to get to 50+ then do it all over again [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

before exp bonus pop was 20 people.

That's why you keep exp bonus

before global ooc pop was 20 people

That's why you keep global ooc

I really can't make this clearer for you

Xp bonus brings people over. Should do more to keep them. Group xp is an awesome idea but shouldn't replace solo xp because of difficulty getting groups.

I have not been on the red server that long but have a few thoughts that i would like to put out there. But i like the idea about shortening up the pvp level requirement but with that could see this coming in handy as well.
Take away anonymous (Pro - You know for a fact the persons level and if you are able to engage.) ( Con - Not classic) Just a thought.

[Kazi]

Nah keep anon but allow for the option to display your class and level while shrouding your zone.

And please I'm still curious, why don't you just hand out suspensions for people who troll OOC with racist, bigoted, homophobic nonsense? EQ has the report feature, I'll gladly report every time someone calls someone else the N Word.

Is it too hard to then suspend those folks for a couple of days? It'd clean up chat fast. Same with this board. Look at how many people call each other gay and derail threads with horrible image macros and crap. Just suspend them.

Did you read the post, or just assume that I said remove all XP bonus' and any form of global chat?

Also, PvP server.

Because we don't have the time or manpower to sit and play babysitter to global OOC.

Plus, half the people on the box would be suspended.

Most importantly, we shouldn't have to, and new people who roll here shouldn't automatically be subjected to some of the BS that goes through global OOC.
