You just won't see better than r99. Its sad that the best stuff is in the hands of those who are MIA. Theres really not a lot of things that need to be changed, contrary to the beliefs...

Null's resist got a lot better last patch, and with a few more tweaks it would be perfect. Funny thing is, every change moves it further from his preferred system, and more like classic (better).

Other than exp bonuses, what major things would other people like to see?

That's the only thing people (Other than Nihi griping about Kunark/PoS) want to see.

The reason people left is the treadmill is just too damn long. No one is asking for red69 style EXP (which is way too fast). All they are saying is, every other weekend, give a 200% bump.

No one wants a /ding50 command. (People who think this is what the argument is over, and people asking for this are the problem)

All people are asking for is every week or so, give a day or two of 200% exp in a random leveling zone (like SK, or UGuk, CT, Unrest, etc).

It is less about bringing 50s back, and more about bringing in fresh blood.

Wait, you mean hotzones and 200% exp don't result in instant 50? You mean the people arguing against it on that basis are using a straw man? OH MY GAWD

[heartbrand]

Pretty simple what needs to happen here. 200% exp which will decrease the untwinked, un-PLed grind from eight days + to maybe five days played. Hot zones to funnel the PVP into certain zones, (and to the response that why do you need hot zone exp on top of regular exp, invariably you'll prolly end up getting less exp in a hot zone then a regular zone because you'll be so busy PVPing in the hot zone, see red69 for proof of this). This one change will bring the casuals back who just didn't see enough progress on that treadmill and simply got off.

Change resists back to classic, and if you won't change DPS spells at least change mez/stuns. This may bring back some PVPers and encourage the fun PVP we remember, not lock and load PVP we see today.

Yellow Text / Leaderboard, something to satisfy the PVPers with and bring them back, a reason for the people who already did what they want on the PVE side to go PVP. Not everyone wants to go write the Illiad on the forums and photoshop to proclaim their victories. This will bring back some PVPers.

I think 200% is pretty high, but I'm not personally against bonuses from time to time. Considering you can powerlevel a character to 50 over a holiday weekend, I don't think 50% or so once in a while would be a bad idea.

I'm just not silly enough to think it would keep most of the people utilizing the exp bonus from doing the same thing 75% of the server did after that sat at 50 for a few months.

(that would be quit)

why are you so concerned with other players getting to level 50? Don't you think it would make the server more fun to play as a whole?

there is only one type of player that is quitting at level 50... the player who has run out of gear to farm. the pixel slayers of nihilum.


plus, for the hundreth time... i'm all for kunark. but if you release kunark without also addressing the experience rate you will be killing the server. if i can't find the time to grind 40-50 in lower guk why do you think i'm going to be able to do it in karnors castle? or wahtever else kunark zone you want to pick.

Ok, please, if you ever listened to one statement, let it be this:

THIS IS ABOUT NEW PEOPLE, NOT POWERLEVELING OR ALTS
People who can get powerleveled, are already 50 (hi most of Nihilum's recruits from blue). This is about luring new people in, and luring those back who quit before 50.

Do you realize that in all your posts you sound like the crotchety old man sitting on his porch yelling at all the kids who ride their bikes up and down the street?

"Oh, back in my day we didn't have bonuses. I fought in world war two, you kids have it so easy today!"

This is not about getting insta 50, this is not about alts, or powerleveling. This is about getting those people back who quit, and getting new people who want to try "EQ Classic PvP."

Yellow Text, HotZones/Bonus EXP Weekends, truely fixed resists all go along way.
