Don't forget that new players also have NOTHING for gear/items/money which makes it much more difficult when there is no one around to group with.

All these duo/soloers that reached 60 in a week did it twinked.

Using a rusty shan'tok woolok decaying skeleton sword hurts after a while. Not to mention being decked in 2 ac armor for most your levels.

Levelling during euro hours is about as fun as a trip to hospital. If the XP bonus goes I know the mountain will be too steep for me to continue - would be nice to PvP without all this levelling BS [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Because all the solers have zero incentive or need to group with your warrior. When you can't kill a mob, your xp bonus is ZERO. The non-soloers currently have a xp bonus of zero on this server. Fact.

That is why we need to be encourageing grouping with group xp bonus. Not solo flat rate xp bonus.

(p.s.)

Ask the server's level 60 druids and enchanters where the xp bonus is at. They'll tell you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I can understand why you'd say that.

Current flat rate xp bonus just gives soloers more reason to solo and less reason to group.

I think most melees will soon just fade away after getting tired of LFG and being groupless. A few will make it to 60 to support the raiding game, but the rest? Forget it.

If only our xp bonus was in the form of group bonus, we'd retain so many currently LFG players.

Its a shame.

Melees have faded away since the 3rd week of the box.

Dig up my post Trollborn.. I called this shit months ago. Melees were screwed on Red99 from day one.

To be fair that's actually a classic mechanic and working as intended.

I voted in favor of keeping the bonus, but I don't think it goes far enough. More than any other emulated EverQuest server, bros and brosephinas on Red99 have very active real lives, in the real world. These are real alphas: Future Leaders of America and Beyond. Thus, they can't be wasting their time killing the same non-challenging artificial intelligence ad infinitum when they could be out pumpin' mad iron, building their fortunes and mackin' hoes.

I'd be in favor of eliminating the hybrid penalties immediately, and perhaps adding further incentive to grouping. Something must be done, because if the fair denizens of Red99 are driven away I will have to use google to find my tranny porn, like a weirdo.
