Anyone else finding any reason they can to roll up a character that avoids the Qeynos path like the plague just to stay separated from the powergaming mindset?

I really didn't want to do the Faydwer newbie route YET AGAIN, but its starting to look mighty appealing compared to western Antonica. Troll/ogre is potentially good too.

Every area is going to be insane! You will not be able to hide from it! You may as well just start what you originally wanted to start.

Yeah I get that, I'm not trying to pick an area with less population, just that the most min/max mindsets are going to gravitate heavily towards Qeynos and the surrounding zones. That's fine for people who are picking that path or hoping to race levels, but it might create a slightly different vibe than other zones without the overpowered questing rewards.

I was never that interested in starting Qeynos anyway. I'd also considered FP/Neriak/RV but there's going to be a fair amount of similar stuff going on. The good old crushbone belts and pads grind might seem downright quaint compared to the amount of quest spamming that will be taking place in RV and Qeynos.

I love that you just said avoid the Qeynos hills path like the plague.. which later hit Qeynos hills because of Varsoons army of acolytes, the worshipers of the plaguebringer, attempting to finish his job of destroying the city and Antonius Bayle's legacy once and for all!

But yea, I was planning on avoiding it like the plague by rolling a Bloodsaber and watching it happen, but not caring because I was out of faction to do the quests, but if this buff is in I may change those plans lol

Are there any evil non PC races you could faction with for a functional hometown? like Runnyeye for instance, or even Splitpaw?

I actually really wanted to go Qeynos area since I haven't done much lower leveling there, but I want to roll a High Elf. So I plan to hit like level 7 in Faydwer, head to Antonica to do some Orc camps and Befallen grouping. Then head west and do a bit of leveling in the Qeynos area from like 12-15 because there are a couple of quests/drops that I want to hit over there.

There’s only a single rabid wolf
Spawn in beta.... and unless you plan on sharing the camp and loot you gotta go turn those pelts in, the mob will green out around lvl 8-9, you could try your luck staying til 12 but I do t really see if being that big of an issue when wisps are lvl 9 and bandits/ lfay sisters are like lvl 10 and drop bronze you guys need to calm the fuck down

Everyone spots one edge case and thinks they're a genius.

Exp from rabbids gives you greater exp than killing a blue creature past your 20s [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I have leveled to 26 on them.

Why do people think they know how things work and then swear at other people?

I find that people are more upset than the people who are saying this could be problem. I think its fair to be concerned about changes to the _most_ quest heavy zone in all of classic everquest. More trash mobs is a great idea, but the newbie yard is -> that way down the path to Qeynos.

[Wallicker]

Yeah but what I’m saying is good luck having that camp back when you go turn in those pelts

And once you hit 12 or so it’s no longer the easiest way to make plat or the fastest way to level
