The bottom line is that if experience is raised, more people will come back and start playing. So fucking increase the XP. I voted by 50%.

When there was a 20% boost I still felt like EXP was pretty slow, 50% imo

20-25% perfect imo, makes soloing more viable.

But still slow enough it deters hacking/exploiting.

1000% like beta till 50 , open kunark , normal xp 50 to 60 and you will see 400 on server guaranteed

you heard it here folks

sprinkle for red99 pres

That just encourages cheating. Because if you're caught and banned you can just speed your way back in on a new character like people did on that shitbox vztz.

No accountability with fast experience, and no consequences. (Though there barely are now, hence why holobad and nihilum are even still here.)

exp needs to be 200%+ atleast, and I'm a better leveler than anyoone posting in this thread so you have to take my word as gospel

Given that this server is a Hobby it is unlikely that there will be regular expansions or new content.

So a dramatic increase in Xp will just push everyone to 50 with limited content, Classically unbalanced PvP and on a darker note... Drastically increased xp will bring along a higher temptation to cheat since you could reroll easier if you get banned. With the recent rash of exploits we don't need to encourage folks and the slower xp means more risk since there is a greater chance to catch / "rat out" the exploiters.

The emphasis on drastic xp bonus for PvP's sake is misguided. EQ is a PvE game, we have the benefit of spicing things up with PvP but reducing the game time spent in PvE is just asking for trouble since 90% of the game is PvE and the other 10% relies on a classically mediocre PvP ruleset.

Sadly, If you need a fast, no grind, focused PvP fix then try another game that offers conveniences like Easy Fast travel, Battlegrounds and other WoWish crap.


Play EQ the way it was designed, group with friends, check out the old zone and dungeons, have fun leveling and mix in some PvP when you can. Playing against the design will just leave you disappointed and crying on the forums.
