Remove the __BLUEbar (not classic)

I think they added the blue bar so that people would not be as likely to contemplate suicide while leveling from 50 - 60.

It took me several months to get to 50, and almost as long to get from 50 -60! As someone mentioned, just finding an exp mob or camp was a real challenge before Kunark.

When I was leveling there was no blue bar either, so the experience from 50 - 60 seemed incredibly slow. I think they added the blue bar so that people would not be as likely to contemplate suicide while leveling from 50 - 60.

I remember almost pressing my eyeball against the monitor to see if I had gained a pixel of yellow exp...

It was definitely about the journey back then, but the destination was desirable too. I felt a great sense of relief when I finally hit 60, and for the next couple of years, until Suclin, there was no more worry about grinding.

Instead we could play alts casually, camp gear, and raid when people were online. It was nice.
