From playing with eqemu on my private server I know you can disable quest xp with a quick DB change / hotfix, and this doesn't necessitate pushing new code. Every other way I can think of to do more targetted nerfing of quest XP (like say, disabling quest xp over level ~20 via a change to the perl quest libs) involves a patch or server reset. I'm about 99% sure that's the limiting factor. They can't do patches / code changes easily without Rogean's involvement. I've had a lot of interactions with staff and I can say I don't recognize Nilbog from what you make him out to be in your post. There are some server balance considerations but 99% of the time if you give them classic evidence they make the change when they find the time. | |||

Never seen Loramin this pissy over something, well played staff. Maybe he was hoarding scrolls too.

Could it be that we are simply seeing the progression from "dark blue" to "light blue" here for a level 41 mob as someone goes from level 54 to level 55? I haven't been able to confirm whether the blurb on the wiki is correct about 50% XP for light blue and 25% XP for XP greens, but if it is, that could be the culprit, no? Based on what they wrote for level 56, it's seems like a doubling of the XP necessary (which can just be the fact that the mob is giving half the XP it used to).
People with more time on their hands than me can run those numbers :P. | ||

I think there are still some things we don't really understand about experience. This thread for one is another unsolved mystery. | |||

But look, you and Nilbog often say stuff to the effect that "this place (and Green in particular) is all about classic EQ", right? I'm not being unfair and putting words in your mouth by saying that? You'll also admit that a one month moratorium on quest XP isn't classic: it's an objective fact that there was no quest XP disabling in the first month of Kunark in '00, correct? All I'm saying is, after ten-plus years of saying "classic is priority #1" ... only on the very rare occasions when you do something that directly contradicts what you've been saying for ten years ... would it really be so terrible to give us a sentence or two explaining why?

I've posted similar things in the past, you aren't the p1999 spokesperson, no matter how hard you pretend to be or believe to be. Your thinly veiled bullshit is appreciated by exactly noone. Hope this helps, enjoy your day! In case you didn't notice, Nilbog posted neither him or Rogean are aware of intentional changes, yet you continue whining about them not giving an explanation, so here is a reminder: Quote:

Seeing those facts from the outside, all that's clear is that something was higher priority to the staff than keeping classic EQ quest mechanics. Based on the only communication provided, I inferred that server firsts ("speed runs") were the priority. If my guess was wrong, the staff could just ignore me (I'm just one dumb poster). Or they could ban me for making their life difficult. OR they could give not just me, but our whole community (which "joined the cult of classic" because of them), just a couple sentences of communication: Quote:
