Some feedback

[rekindle]

First.....what you folks have managed to do here is really awesome. The amount of time and effort gone into this server and its community has really paid off. Thank you.

Second, although its great to have a living breathing world again I'd respectfully ask that you at least consider the exp gain rate.

There were a lot of good things about classic EQ from the days gone by but the rate of exp gain was not one of them. Perhaps i'm in the minority and I certainly don't expect / want you to change because some random guy on the internet thinks you should.

However, I consider the exp gain thing a bit prohibititive for me. Bootstrapping is awesome and something the new games lack but there is a balance to be struck.

It looks like you guys have a mandate to be thorough in your emulation of the original experience that is awesome.

Would you consider keeping all things the same but instance off another copy with a slightly faster exp gain? I'm not talking ez server faster , but I can tell from the exp gains in the newbie yards here I doubt I'll never have time to invest to get to the max level.

Anyway, great job and thanks for doing this.

-1 Keep the original rate. I want the total old school kick in the nuts EQ ~ Velious feel. At 35,40,45, and 50 I want to literally feel a sweaty Aradune behind me whispering... "Do you like that Hell level!? Can you feel that XP losss!?"

The Vision™ has you.

Hell levels are 24, 29, 34, 39, 44, and 49 in Classic?

It is 30, 35, 40 and 45. I just finished up the 40 grind and can tell you that 41-43 took less time than that level.

And this is where you should have stopped typing, but don't worry, I fixed it for you.

I like the idea of having the EXP rate at what it is now. I think the fact that it takes a lot of time to achieve a level, makes it all the more rewarding!

Nothing like grinding with a group, or doing a quest or two and getting a level an hour later to hear that infamous DING!

I say, no change.

I see bad things in store for this thread. Maybe there needs to be a "Things That Will Never Happen" sub-forum for threads like this to be moved to. Let the nerdraging begin...
