EXP Re-Nerfed ROFL

[Bazia]

just sayin if i can do it and I probably work more hours then the average person the whole "im an adult and cant play enuff" excuse is kinda bunk

now if people wanna be honest and just say the server is a wasteland pre-50 and boring as fuck to level through then thats a much more legit gripe

And thats what it is bro, I've played my untwinked Hybrid before and after the exp nerf. I'll get 60. But when the exp is low, so is morale and population. It was literally like a different server today in so many aspects.

yeah not everyone has the stamina to blast a long playlist of music and solo unrest basement and HHK guards for weeks like ole Basiah

Yup. Early this morning through late afternoon server was poppin. Exp groups were everywhere. People were happy. It was great. It had that old feel from a month ago. Now it's 82 people online and dead as can be. Shrug.

I was under the impression HB works at home I'm sure he sees his kids literally all day.

Nice to know your a piece of shit taking IRL pot shots in a thread about an elf sim on an elf sim discussion website.

Here's an anonymous post from RD forums just now:


"Hey guys,

As the title says, I don't know how much time I can devote to the server without comment on server direction. I haven't logged in much these past two weeks for rl reasons, but the nagging sensation that the server is at the whims of the staff is a major factor. It's not just xp. It's overall server vision. Sorry HB."

you guys need to chill out. i promise as soon as devs are like "ok its done" we're gonna tell you all you the things. but holy shit, some of you cry so god damned hard about every little thing, every single time, and it just gets old. i understand that you guys love EQ, and whether you want to admit it, you love R99. i dont think you guys would get so angry or passionate about things, if you didn't care. we aren't ignoring you, we just don't get off on repeating ourselves. we've already stated changes are coming, and that we would announce them as soon as we could. and that means exactly that, we aren't going to talk about them until we can. we cant say anything before it's ready because our devs are not on a set schedule and we don't wanna say X Y and Z are gonna happen... but not sure when. or put out a date on something and fail to make that date. or say we are gonna do X! but then learn we can only do Y. (pretend there's a "themoreyouknow.jpg" here for immersion purposes if u need pictures, im very busy atm and can't be bothered to insert it myself)

fact is, players needed to get off that easyxp addiction because it did nothing to help the servers community. and i know its really hard to go cold turkey, but in all honesty its better to get it over with and be done with it. the previous xp model did nothing to give incentives or perks for grouping, it did nothing to build a community, and it basically assured that if u came to this server on your own, you better play a class that can solo because you were gonna be on your own til about 46ish. no one on staff expects things to change over night, thats silly. but we all agree that if we are ever going to have a full range community, we must first ensure the building blocks are in place for players to successfully build that community. the previous xp model is just simply not the path that will take us where we need to go.

Why did you nerf it before implementing your grand changes? It's pretty telling no dev/gm can answer this question.
