Double XP next week?

[ndmx1000]

Can we please have Double XP next week for the devoted players on this server please?

[shuklak]

Just make it all year plus hot zones and get it over with!

[Swish]

Double XP gives the server's volunteers a lot more work because people turn into dbags. On that basis we shouldnt have it.

But if we do I'll be logging on my bard in zones like Oasis and reallocating npcs on people who think they're rounding mobs up to aoe down while 30 people have nothing to do.

I don't think P99 would step on the overlord's tentacles like that.

Double xp whenever you want just play twice as much!

[Tankdan]

Because this server isn't top heavy enough. Need more 60's ASAP.

[shuklak]

Lol really... double loot on lightstones too

[Kydat]

What we should have is half exp so we can enjoy the journey twice as much.

Temporarily reduce level cap to 50 next week, got it.

[Swish]

Think of it this way, you might be able to camp something that's usually camped...isnt that enough?

Server is locked at Velious forever. Literally no reason to race to the end. Smell the flowers. There is no Luclin to 'keep up' for.

People like you are what's wrong with the world.

"I don't want X so there's no reason anyone could possibly want X."

Although to your credit, at least you didn't demand the staff enforce some kind of 1 level per calendar week limit.

We could do double xp but we can't find any devoted players on this server...

Let's all go make lv1s and ERP in the EC tunnels. Leveling is a waste of time, of course.

I'm not saying there is no reason anyone could possibly want x. People can race to x as much as they think they like.

I'm just saying sleeper is dead, x is always going to be there until server dies.

Perhaps I dropped too many chill pills 10 years ago, but the only reason to hurry through a-w is if you are morbidly obese and want to hit x before you die next month. There is no y or z to progress to once you hit x. When x is it the game is done and there are no new funs.

Technically that's not true, if "X" involves Nurga or Droga. Once the next major patch comes along the old versions of those zones will be wiped out forever, never to be experienced again, and only then will it be safe to say "X" will always be there.

But you're like 99% correct.

Memorial day is for the remembrance of the fallen heroes that sacrificed all they had for us to have freedom to play vidya gamez. Terrible idea and you should, in stead; take double damage from all attacks instead. ~Mericuh

This thread is an idea goldmine. The devs need to get on this immediately.

Being at dead-end Velious doesn't matter if you never reach max level.

[Jimjam]

I think blue should be switched to discord style permadeath during memorial day to help us appreciate what others sacrificed for us.

[Troxx]

Server doesn't need double xp anything. More level 60s will just compound the high end problems. Being level 60 isn't necessarily more fun - I've actually found it to be the graveyard my characters go to collect dust. The fun was always the road to 60.

Oh yeah, and double xp times historically bring out the worst in people - overcrowded zones and petty squabbles abound.

Lol

[Jimjam]

Lol

You laugh, but I know if this would be implemented you would be 'accidentally' pulling griffons into the fat cat tunnel!

Millions of PP and items wiped from the server in one fateful day :P.

[Tenlaar]

Always amusing to see things like somebody who is closing in on four level 60 characters explaining why the guy who started a month ago and has one level 30 shouldn't want a bonus xp weekend because being higher level "isn't necessarily more fun."

2 level 60s and 2 upper 50s in 3 years? Lol. That's slow leveling my friend - casual and no significant organized raiding.


Pardon me for sharing my experiences with the guy who's been playing for a month. If you're playing p99 for the level 60 game - you're barking up the wrong tree. If you're gainfully employed, have a family or a few friends ... you're not going to find much success or satisfaction trying to raid here.

Sounds good doesnt it? I'd aim for a certain lizard first but you know they'd all log out the moment it was switched on :p

[Spyder73]

Now that the Chardok puppy mill has been shut down (pras) double XP weekends actually makes sense for new players.

but I would agree that being level 60 is overrated - EQ is all about the XP and loots - it gets significantly less fun at 60

unless you play on a red server then its exponentially more fun.

[TimTheToolmanTaylor]

cant we just have /level60 next week? please? the whole server would be happy to not play the game but just be level 60. tnx devs.

[Spyder73]

I'll play Fallout when I want to explore a wasteland by myself

[mickmoranis]

I feel sorry for you that you have to play a new game when you get 60

I have been so put off by all the Agnarr/Phinny posts that I forgot how retarded Red server players are. No one wants to play with you, move along

[mickmoranis]

hows that surname working out for ya?

[Swish]

That's not true. No less so than blue players wishing other players weren't in the zone so they could have that plat making camp.

Let's revisit the Rogean post from May of last year.

"--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey all.

We'd like to start turning on Bonus EXP more often for occasions such as holidays.

So, to start this off, we have turned on a 25% EXP Bonus from now until the end Memorial Day.

Enjoy!

Since that time I only recall like 2 times we've had double/bonus xp. That doesn't live up (in my mind) to the "We'd like to start turning on Bonus EXP more often for occasions such as holidays." portion of that message.

Just my opinion

[Baler]

Let's revisit the Rogean post from May of last year.
this post isn't entirely directed at you Sivaeb
bonus exp weekends/week have been more active in the past year then EVER on p99. Idk if any of you recall but 2015 there was like 2 2x weekends. TWO that's it. maybe 3..

This past year there has been several and one lasted near a whole damn week.

So rogean has made good on his post! They're not going to active an exp bonus near a live server launch. I don't know what the fuck people are thinking or if this is just some elaborate troll. But bonus exp will be coming. Squawking about it on the forums won't speed it up. It never has.

[Swish]

Maybe there'd be more bonus XP weekends if people behaved. Seems like they bring out the worst in people and cause more petitions for the volunteers to deal with.

Can't blame them for not wanting to deal,with that so often..
