hi tecmos, welcome to red. protip #1 dont take anything u read here personally, even when it comes from staff. that being said, i know you well enough to know that you know i know theres more than two choices. the CoD comment is because thats what 90% of the R99 forum community wants. they want to log in at 50 or 60 with epics, guises, spells, weapons, and get to cracking heads. the staff wants an actual community of people that are here to actually play everquest. we want people to care about their characters and accounts because of how much time they have already invested.
With super fast xp you can never have a 1-50 community because no one stays there long enough. unless a bunch of people join the server at the same time, they cant level together because taking a few days off the rest of them will leave you behind, starting a week after a player you cant group with them, and leveling so fast that casters cant even afford their lvl appropriate spells.
now with all that being said, i will say that i believe the pvp level range must be adjusted to +/- 4 levels with the closer to classic xp.
i'd also like to see the xp that was recently removed be replaced as some kind of an accumulating group bonus that grew higher with the amount of people in the group, as it would encourage full 6 man groups.

Also catering to the 90% that are already on the server for fast exp alone is not going to build any sense of community or even really increase population anyway IMO. So staff is taking a hard, but smart road trying to raise population through means other than just EXP bandaids. |
