server xp bonus - Page 5

People that respond to things like deleveld PKs with anything other than "lol thats rad" just don't get the pvp server experience at all. Yeah it "sucks" to have one of them backstab you for billions at level 9, but there's a certain comedy about that kind of thing that you need to get to really enjoy EQ pvp at all, I think.

I don't cheat. Widely accepted or not.

Yes but you see, the comedy is in the whole "Kobe Bryant vs. the Middelton West Junior High School Basketball Squad" thing. Its hilarious to watch. If you respond to that mental image with a sputtering "BUT, BUT IT WOULDNT BE FAIR!!!"... I just don't think you get it.

Sorry, I'm not twelve. I have a competitive spirit and don't need ego fluffing via exploitation and cheats.

yeah was level 1, have some great screenshots somewhere of my level 6 newbkiller chopping through 30+ level 2 - 10 newbies. every time a carebear server would crash RZ would get a mass wave of bored bluebies in the newbie zones.

so when a level 6 in shiny new velious graphic gear and skyfire sword/sarnak shield is standing in front of the gate an hour long war would ensue between my basically invincible newbkiller and the entire zone trying to score a kill and loot something unaware it was all no drop.

was a lot of fun

Comedy is an end unto itself.

No one deleveld an alt for the noble competitive spirit of the thing.

The lulz.

It's not funny so much as it is pathetic.

Why do people say that more people would play with an XP bonus? Do you have any proof of that? Me personally would quit if there was a big xp bonus. Then I'd rather go play WoW or some other MMO.

For once I agree with Darwoth almost completely. His first post, not how exploiting delevelling was fun.

All the people who are crying about XYZ rule or playstyle or saying shit like THE SERVER WILL FUCKING DIE FOREVER IF YOU MAKE IT THIS WAY are not going to be playing on this server within 1 month of release. So hopefully Nilbog, Rogean, Jesus, or whoever gets to make decisions will ignore any such talk.

The reality is this. They could implement ANY system of PvP they wanted, item loot, coin loot, exp loss, 100% ffa, or pretty much anything short of permadeath and have a reasonable crowd because Red99 will be the ONLY quality classic everquest pvp experience you can get. There is no other EQ experience like P1999 and even if it's far from perfect it is still the best there is in that regard. The same will go for this server. The people who really love EQ PvP will accept just about any ruleset to have that experience again. So everyone crying that OMG DOOOM GLOOM BLAH BLAH BLAH QQQQQQQQQQ is pretty much talking out their ass.

If you don't like a rule or idea, please propose another one. Claiming some sort of oracular ability that give you and only you the ability to know what's best for the server is silly and makes you look ridiculous.
