If you want to take a break at 20 and farm sisters for plat and pvp, this EXP is REALLY good fir it for newbz. They can buy their 1 new level 20 spell and have some fun, then get back to grinding and catching up with the server, and twink alts. Where all the fun is at leveling and pvping in groups. I haven't seen more low level pvp. Less in fact. BUT.

People are grouping and playing on the box. Which is miraculous. We even almost have a 4th small guild forming. I mean WTF... this is unheard of on red. This is a good "experience" (tm) atm.

that is actually normal in some cases. if i had a solid group, i wouldnt leave to go train either until the group was dying. if you were capable of handling the camp before you gained a skill you should be capable after.
We're talking about meditate, for priests. In groups with just the one healer. With Felwithe and Kelethin sooo close.

Maybe that's still a bad example. People are gaining 15+ levels in a single day (weekend yes, but still). That's no good, honestly [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Honestly I have no idea what you're saying about sisters camp.

People grouping and checking the server out is totally a good thing, but with xp the way it is they may as well allow people to start out at 50 or 55. The problem with being left behind has been made worse than it was when soloing was the best xp, in that missing a night of exp that your friends get in will take them out of your xp level range. It's better because people actually are grouping, but isn't there some middle ground here?

This is like VZTZ xp, and it doesn't seem to fit in well with a classic server that takes itself seriously.

I tend to agree with Op but im afraid if they touch anything itll fall apart again.

Its fast leveling when the reasoning for the changes was to slow up the journey a bit.

But what the server badly needs, above everything else, is fresh new blood.

I think its better to leave it like this until we reach 400+ at peak times and then maybe think about nerfing it down to 35% or 30% per player.

Keep in mind that OP has a rich history of bad ideas for server (main opponent of removal of xp loss in pvp back in classic) and that being solo here is still hitting a giant wall because you need to be grouped if you dont want your xp to be day and night compared to soloing. So if you solo, its still a giant PITA and were not at that point were you find groups that often still.

Until the population is classic you can't have classic exp rates. Get 1500 people on here and I'll be the first one to support reducing experience. Until then, stop the trolling.

We aren't changing the server rules because a retard cleric in your CB group didn't train meditate.

NEXT.
