Classic SOE Overnerf

[HeallunRumblebelly]

Be glad...level 50 is effing terrible. It's soooooooooo droll having everything :P

Couldn't care less about exp penalties tbh. I group for fun, if exping takes longer with 5 troll sk's in group, that means i have more time for fun! (although a rather poorly balanced group)

That's exactly what I said in another one of the half dozen threads about this topic. The people make the group fun, regardless of what class they pick.

exps is slow....much slower. Solo exp is the way to go. If your able.

Exp was too fast here honestly. I remember it taking me a solid like 6-8 hours of playing per level on pretty much any solo class like Druid, Necro, etc from 20-24 or so. Sure, it's not much of a data sample but it's something I remember very well because I always had just enough playtime in a day to get 1 level. Here you could easily do 20-24 in a single day. Exp was simply much faster than classic imo.

Wow...I never knew my paladin on live had such an experience penalty. Then again I don't think I ever went on the classic forums. Could a developer of p1999 please explain the thinking behind it? Is it to match classic EQ? If so, any idea why they did it? Do paladins enjoy a significant advantage over other classes? Or is it to balance race/class numbers? I'm not expecting any change...I would just like to understand these penalties/bonuses better. Thanks.

I think it's amazing how many of you guys remember exactly how many hours it took you to gain particular levels over 8 years ago.

It's even more amazing how many month-old posts have been dug up in the last few days by new forum accounts with 1 post.

Exp is slower then live but not that much of a difference... Difference with live was people were exploring 75% of the time in classic. Where here everything is known which takes out the exploring part this time around. Instead of explorin people watch there exp bar every second. Everybody has to realise this isnt pop era where u can get from 1 - 30 with a good power leveler in a couple hours. Def is slower when i first started a month before kunark was released i leveled my warrior from 1 to 9 in one night solo( roughly 6 hours). And that was nothing but what i started with.
