So its ok to level a necro and an alt twinked in 8 days played.

But its not ok to solo level a melee at all, and expect at least 30 days played to "twinked" status.

Thats what the current xp bonus provides.

I have no idea what you're talking about here and the rest of your post also confuses me.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images.

Either way fast xp is the same as needing two characters to play one character with the state of the community. (In about 50% of the cases of classes)

Fast XP is doing a minimal amount to increase population.

The community will never grow because its attracting the wrong player base and its not being developed externally, or by word of mouth, or whatever.

Might as well enable boxing. There is no point in playing on this server unless you have a certain Nihilistic play style. (read Nihilistic as, amoral, or uncaring, unguided, self centered, unethical, without meaning)

Its not in the Spirit, of EQ.

It may even be counter intuitive to you. But I believe wholeheartedly that fast EXP increases the rate at which players run out of content and burn out and get bored with the 'process' of playing EQ. And other means of cheating the xp curve. People with 6 alts in good/BIS gear are RIPs here usually. A low exp rate sustains the struggle for dominance. Prolongs exploration. And increases the need for teamwork. Or other creative gameplay, that may be more emergant then normative for acheivement based players.

Achievers will never have the opportunity to grow, mature, and appreciate pvp on this box because things are handed to them on a silver platter in that case.

make RNG decide if you get exp for the mob u just killed.

each mob assigned a #, say 0-999 or w/e

when u kill mob a die is rolled, if your roll matches the mob # you get .35 xp.

Thats actually a cool idea hehe. (maybe not to extremes) but general randomization in XP earned per kill would be kind of neat feature in an RPG.

x4 exp

2 boxing

variance

fix 2 year's worth of oustanding pvp bugs

resists

make it rain population

Oh I see, the game is only fun when it is hard. Yes, haven't heard that one before.

There's a whole bunch wrong with this statement. One, the game isn't hard at all. It's just tedious. Monotonous. A grind. That isn't fun. Launching the server without an exp bonus + exp loss actually killed the server. It's really sad you're arguing for more blue grinding.

If you think that grinding is the spirit of EQ you're sorely wrong. EQ was about teamwork and exploring zones together, which exp bonus helps people do in the small amount of hours they can play.

Yep, because all the instant 50 and instant 60 servers have been a great success.
