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.

I disagree. I think xp has encouraged people to not have teamwork. Or roll and play interdependent classes. Everyones first char is mage, necro, wiz, druid.

And now bards are pretty popular. Its a huge turn off for anyone who doesn't particularly "love" those classes and doesn't want to devote game to farming items to play a class. Would just rather "play the game".

We have a disagreement that stems from two entirely different perspectives on the game. For you it seems this is just a "combat simulation". In some ways it is and its so simple a child can master it. Yet I would go so far as to say that how you reach the end point of that simulation, and what you do when you are there is greatly influenced by how fast xp is.

Totally not reported, but pointing out the lulzy possibility of racial slurs not even in the RnF.

Yes because nothing is going to make someone roll a warrior like slowing down exp rates.

x4 exp

2 boxing

variance

fix 2 year's worth of oustanding pvp bugs

resists

make it rain population

if this happens then server will be a success.

This server currently only caters to the crowd that can devote their life to the game. I came back and tried to do it but I just cant anymore. I have a successful job and soon to have a fiance. I can't devote 18 hours a day anymore. Make the server more casual please.

Maybe we could have an exp decay so even when you hit max level you still slowly lose exp. That way the journey never ends.

What's wrong with resists? Im new.

[pewpeat]

wasnt the box like 10 - 20x? I thought thats what was happening, I thought they were talking about making a vztz like server. why in the world would we need to slow it down from the crawl it is currently? I just dont believe theres gonna be a population for another slow grind classic box. call me lazy I want translocators, and little exp grind, soul binders in citys, spell vendors in SRO, Guk, Paw etc.


tl;dr I WANT THE BOx dAMNIT

OMG ROFLing hard

And how did you all get trolled by cast into this huge thread? I didn't even bother reading beyond the OP, but this thread been alive for so long I had to check the last page anyway.

It took 2 years for the exp to reach this state. It's been higher, it's been lower, and it's come to rest at an acceptable (I think perfect) location for PvP exp. Would be surprised if GMs were even monitoring this thread.
