because if you turn around and make this "classic server" into wow with SK's , then those people will feel their acomplishment is cheapened and thus quit.

You want to be 50 and uber like them? Put in the same work.

Want ez xp? Go to ez server.

I've leveled two characters to 50, one pre-exp bonus, wasn't "too bad" prolly took about 1.5 month back when there was PVP in all the EXP zones, 200+ pop, and had no gear/coin.

Then I leveled a warrior, post-exp bonus, it was god awful, and this was with constant PL or groupage. The EXP needs to be boosted so fucking badly on this server it's not even funny. There is NO PVP outside of the level 42+ scene. All the zones outside of Unrest are a ghost town beneath 42. People keep talking about the beautiful "journey" but it's just a barren wasteland of empty zones, with no Global OOC or YT so you feel like you're playing SoloQuest until your high enough to be powerleveled with bats in Sol B. That's not a journey it's just a test of endurance, and is detrimental to the server pop on a PVP server. EXP Bonus should have been 100% all the way through, and even that prolly isn't enough.

For all the people talking about omg Kunark will bring everyone back, good luck Melees in Kunark with the EXP rate at 51-60 and the pop as shitty as it is. No one is going to be carrying troll SK's in their groups in Kunark when level 54 takes two weeks to get through as it is. All the druids and casters will quickly poopsock their way to 60 and all the melees will be left behind begging for dat PL. There will continue to be no groups, EXP loss on pvp deaths will be more painful, CR in kunark will be more painful, more casuals will quit. Kunark will be the deathblow to this server if it's kept in it's current state, not it's savior.

i agree with vile and heartbrand. raise exp rate, watch population rise due to casuals now able to play and progress.

@Rydar: not only is ez a custom server, but there is no pvp. we play here for a 'like-classic' pvp server. your solution is terrible.

People act as if the server is already dumbed down with exp fairies tossing out free levels. The bonus did n-o-t-h-i-n-g to help where help was needed most, level 40+. Level 1-30 already took only a few hours as a melee with a druid PL, exp bonus just cut out a couple hours from that. It's 40-50 that takes incredibly too long. I think level 45 took me about 16 hours, and that was with a two person bat group clearing the entire sol b zone as every single mob would pop. No real groups in that level range so god help melees who are trying to do it on their own.

Heartbrand.. you are straight retard. Everything you talk about sounds very classic like to me on a pvp server. On rallos zek you never saw bluebie groups rolling around exping together, you did it solo. And if you didn't like that, you left to go play on some teams pvp server where you could be friends with someone without actually holding a conversation with them.

I'm sorry your vision of EQ is to be an anti-social dick to everyone and assume you're going to have friends that want to level up with you or help you out. I guess that's why we see the core of Holocaust leave their recruits to die all day, because they really don't talk to them at all or know them, they just /guildinvite'ed them willy nilly.

Poster above is in nihilum. Talks about bluebie groups. Talks about guild inviting everyone that is 46+. Talks about leaving recruits to die. Must be joke?

it's kind of funny when there is easily 20+ people that will be able to play if XP was modified.
Yeah and most of them are people who were permanently banned and want an easy way to reroll after they cheat/train/etc.

Just want to remind people that Rallyd, aka Emumu, is the same guy who told a recruit who was being corpse camped that they were busy killing bawses. Also part of guild that logs off immediately when no raid targets are up.
