First to 52 (almost 53) and back to 51
 

I camped Zahal the Vile for 4 months to collect enough guts to get me to 52 on opening day. Got booted from the server before I could hit 53 and then deleveled by a GM in Karnors back to 51.
Been fun but I'm outta here.. no you can't have my stuff cause I already gave it all away in EC!

Have fun in Kunark guys

You will be missed Adorean.

Do you not feel like this method of leveling was...abusing game mechanics? I am pretty sure if that quest was meant to give that much XP, more than 1 person would of been there doing it. However, that quest was never a means to level from 51 to 52 to almost 53 in under what, an hour?


What, maybe level 60 in 5 hours, depending on how many items you had farmed?

?

What was the reasoning for this?

lol, you guys and your sprint mentality :)

it seems just like any other crushbone belt quest to me, but what do i know.. it is your call..

-- never done, nor did i know about, the quest though

Pretty sure if the quest wasn't meant to give that much xp then it wouldn't be set to give that much xp.....

Yeah, I dunno... I mean, we do it with CB belts and bonechips. I don't see how this is different just because he's higher level. I didn't know about the quest either.

I love the server and I think you guys do a great job, but unless there's missing info, I have to disagree with you on this one Hobby. Not that that means much :)

You're correct. Coding hundreds and hundreds of quests, mechanics, pathing, item dropping...yadda yadda, means that we never make mistakes.



Such as the construct hands in karnors dropping 200k plat gold copper and silver each time.

Obviously that was meant to be the case!



And it is not the same. The xp difference between level 1 and 2, and level 51 and 52 is not even comparable. People have been constantly killing and xping at full grind since kunark opened... I think the most someone has is 3 bulbs of yellow? Why would a single quest give 500x the xp rate? Go look up the quest, no one has ever mentionde it being a way to level. In fact, people mostly mentioned it being a huge waste of time.


Its a bug, thats the end of the story. Good luck in your adventures.

Well, if it was a mistake, then I can understand your stance. If it is a valid quest though, I disagree with it.
