sirk, im serious, not trolling or being an ass.

could you explain to us the positive impact that removing the exp modifier is supposed to have? i just don't get it.

Currently on red99 there is 1 cleric online between the levels of 1 and 50. And that my friend is the issue. Not the EXP rate. Not OOC. Not Aunt Jemimah's Pancakes.

It's going to encourage grouping on a 130 pop server or something. Or that was the plan, but they skipped implementing the group exp bonus. So yeah.

FWIW, red99 just went from ultra classic low pop fun with a few close buds, kicking but VERY slowly in horribly formed duo/trio's of all dps newbs not twinks.... to my buddies all leaving, and my options being a) back to blue or b) take PL and waste entire leveling experience I was here for and loving.

I don't get it... but I guess I have a decision to make... fun but meaningless leveling and socializing with easy pixels on blue and no fun end game.... or skip all the adventuring and take PL to 50... and try my chances there.

At that point though, if no one levels anything legitimately and everyone just PL's toons minus a few who play solo classes and enjoy that lifestyle... why not just make a server where we can roll level 50's from the start? IMO that's all this forces, is everyone to PL, where I'd been turning down PL's and just slowly chugging along with my crew of newbs... that seems like the only potential outcome to this situation... players who do stay will just get PL to be viable coz top end players want more top end players to kill and help them kill other top end players... can I just /createlvl50rogue instead of wasting a few days taking unwanted PL's since I can't legitimately play the game now that all my newb homies /quit? lol

I really can't see myself getting to 60 at this point... EQ already too much a timesink and as a melee soloing isn't really an option anymore 50+. I'm 1 yellow from 52 now and I have no desire to ding up and enter the lvl 60 pvp range knowing it's just going to be such a huge struggle. I barely had the time to dedicate to EQ endgame as it was but this is final nail for me. Ah well, hope the people that stay have fun. Try not to take junk so seriously, it's just a game! Or should be anyway...

a little confused as well. server is on the up and up. 3 guilds, actual new players.

I am sure your intentions are good but i cant help but feel that the staff have been away from this game as a player for so long they have no idea what is really going on.

just my imo. id say more but id rather not get banned.

- your conerned pal
samwise

edit: plz dont bant me

There just simply isn't enough people 1-50 to group with. It's just not there. So those who CAN solo, must do it slower now on the thought process that "Hey, people will log in and they won't fly by you in levels now, so you can group with them for a long time" ... but that isn't going to happen. I mean, I respectfully am going to declare that a pipe dream. The server as it stands, with nothing short of a total rehaul, is not going to get to the point where the exp cut makes sense.

It just doesn't.

The idea is that it will make it more difficult to create throwaway characters. In the long run that will prevent or hinder the toxics enough not to play or to reroll new toons after a ban. This is all opinion, btw.

There are other advantages...but I don't personally think NOW was a good time to do this, but w/e.

I good compromise to KEEP people that are turned off by the loss of the modifier is to make it easier in another way.

+/-4.
