EXP gain

[Goobles]

So... it's pretty obvious that I think the exp is pretty lame compared to how it was on Live...

How about you? And when is the last time you levelled from 1 on Live?

Just a reminder, they never increased exp gain or anything on Live. It's been the same way it was since day 1, it just got easier because of twinking.

Lame as in too fast or too slow. it seems pretty fast to me.

I remember when they were attempting to nail down the exact numbers for the racial/class penalties, a series of tests were done. A level 1 of every class/race combo was created, and they counted how many level 1 rats it took to get them to level 2. They used that as a baseline.

For some reason, my memory says 12-14 normally, to 23 for troll/sk.

I think the post was on the EQ forums, back before the Gameplay board was wiped. So it's probably lost...

I suppose they didn't check level 2+ for xp then /shrug

In my opinion. Experience is far too fast currently. It is way faster than I ever remember on live. We are 22 days into launch. We have a few level 50s and countless people into their 30s. There is nothing wrong with the experience rate.

I find it rediculous that solo, I get less than .5 blue per yellow con, and when I die I lose 3.5blue

Seems more like to me everyone knows where to go and what to do and has already explored the game, so they don't have the same tally of "oh where does this lead to!" time in between straight exping.

Its faster than it was, even taking into account the fact that we know more about the game. Red cons seem to give too much xp, while blue cons seem to give way too little. Thats about the only complaint I have, but its minor. Also a lot of the spells on this server are a lot more powerful than they were in classic. Some spells are doing a lot more damage than they did in classic, etc. That certainly speeds things up.

Anyhow, if you dont think the xp rate on live was tweaked over time, then you must have not been playing long.

The last time I played EQLive was on the progression server, and I stopped after I got Time flagged. Perhaps my memory is a tad hazy, however - I don't remember it taking so long to level from 1 to 8.

It probably wasn't Goobles they changed the xp rates on live a long time ago now, so going from 1-10 in EQ is as easy as going 1 to 10 in WoW.
