Exp Speed on Green is Atrocious

If you play because of nothing more than levels your playing for the wrong reason anyhow. This game is all about rares. Gaining levels while doing it is just a byproduct.

This is fact. I can DISTINCTLY remember every rare item I've camped and gotten successfully on green before because the rush when you see that item in the loot window is like CRACK.

- Ebon War Spear and Mammoth Hide Cloak at 35
- Rune Etched BP in Hate (Took actual months to drop)
- Goblin Ring in LoIO and 2x CoS in Droga

I also remember the bitter defeats- times I had to throw in the towel and just buy the damn thing.

- Totemic Helm (I still posit that Lich of Miragul was in green too early)
- That stupid shaman spear in kedge
- Rune Etched LEGS in hate (Had to wait for Kunark and Jarsath)

I'd be able to write actual STORIES about each of these moments, and THAT is what makes EQ great. The adventures you make. And don't get me started on the quests. This was my first time actually DOING real quests in the game for more than just exp. My friend started a warrior and I helped him track down EVERY piece of crafted, camped Diamondine Earrings and Crested Spaulders with him, etc.

This game kicks ass. I'd imagine Mangler comes close, but nothing replaces P99.

Honestly doesn't seem too bad. Whats the chances of me getting randomly ganked? Do they get items if I die or just cash?

The chances of you getting randomly ganked increases with levels, with the level 54-60 range being the most common, but still infrequent.
They get your coin, nothing else. No experience loss. And if you can take an L, both parties can move on and be cordial about it.

But it's basically SoloQuest? So like, play a Nec/Enc/Shm/Mag or bust?

Or druid

But no I would say you can play any character there is usually someone leveling an alt. I don't want to speak for Magnetaress but that player has leveled a lot of toons and would probably make a duo character to grind out the levels with your class of choice.

There's peeps around. Random ganks are the best but they are pretty easy to avoid these days in low pop world.

The other major problem is the economy is really bad on Green. Trash items selling for insane prices. Probably because the Classic drop rates = true and there aren't pickzones. Nontheless even the good items are an insane amount of plat; 80k for a fungi tunic... really lol? So if you wanted to get to level 60 and then Twink a monk or something, you're looking at a year+ commitment. Something I could do in 2 months on a live server..)

I remember when I purchased my first fungi on blue server before Velious I paid upwards of 70 K almost 80 so that sounds about right for that timeline.

Prices are totally legit on green this guy is out of his mind.

"yeah I think the best item in the game should be really accessible to everyone"

Uhh?
