A wall of text on the global XP modifier, global OOC

[Took]

Lost it about halfway through Slathar's post when Phil Colins hit his high notes.

Put in grouping exp bonus
Remove hybrid exp penalty
Allow two boxing until 500 pop achieved
Moderate ooc
Blue copies or transfers
More reasonable punishments for people based on prior history etc. Send warning tells for non game breaking behaviors.
On the other side, perma ban all accounts repeatedly of certain trolls who are here only to ruin the box. We know who they are.
Start moderating the fucking pvp boards and punish game accounts. Obviously warn people first, etc, but if people can't learn to relax and keep posting burn it down then burn their accounts down. Maybe even raffle their gear off their accounts to new players for lulz.

Box fixed.

I think you need to wake up to the fact that this server has a low population because Everquest is 14 years old and the PVP aspect is even less appealing than the PVE aspect.

Best case scenario is maybe red99 gets 300 total players.

Oh, so you mean with some rule changes we could triple the pop? Sounds good to me.

Given the history of the administrators, do you believe that this is likely?

[heartbrand]

Yes. For the first time ever changes are actually being implemented.

I'm pathetically beating shit down solo. I maybe run into one or two other people around Orc Hill and the Kelethin lifts, my only source of entertainment is the occasional cult-like chanting of "Pras" following some yellow text or some shit talk. Otherwise it’s the “wooshing” ambient sound of running around a polygon elf forest and my wife not shutting the fuck up in the next room.

...........

p.s. I named myself Squire and not Badass Champion Paladin Tarwine Jr because I have little PvP experience and would like to learn more. If anyone wants to give me some pointers on jousting etc I'd love to learn. Also, if anyone has some extra Paladin gear they wouldn't mind getting rid of I'd appreciate it.

Pras, I think I might take young Squire under my wing. Sounds like a badass in the making. And a true Paladin that would detest the nihilum scum.

Reducing the global xp bonus while increasing group xp bonus wont do anything, just because there arent groups to group with.

And you cant search for groups, because everyone is anon. It just wont do anything good.

Reduce pvp range to +/-4, increase xp modifier up to lv 51 even more, reduce the prices the spells cost.

Make it that everyone and his mother can reach 51 fast, and from there one remove any xp bonus.

Changes include:

1. Experience mod removed for solo exp
2. Global OOC change (unspecified)
3. Simulated repops

When should I expect the population surge?

Derubael,

I registered on here just to reply to your suggestions for the server, and as someone who literally started for the first time yesterday allow me to give some input from my perspective as a new player.

So I create my first and only character, Squire, a High Elf Paladin

p.s. I named myself Squire and not Badass Champion Paladin Tarwine Jr because...

sounds legit
