Classic Launch is officially over. There's a zillion people artificially 45+, and it's far too late to go back now. It's not so much that boxing and twinking isn't (or won't be) an issue, it's just that it's not nearly the biggest elephant in the room when it comes to why this server is suddenly so out of whack.

Yeah at this point 45+ should be a very elite crowd.

I was pretty surprised with the nag thing as I didn't think there would even be enough 50's on the server to attempt it let alone have camped the gear. Pretty clear that there wasn't enough rage quit over the 24 hour playtime hell levels.

I wasn't that surprised with the nag kill at all, tbh. If there's one thing this server does have it's a *ton* of talented EQ vets who play the game at an incredibly high level. I actually expected raid bosses to be downed even quicker than they were, if you can believe that.

My major point of contention has always been that this isn't EZ Server, and there's zones in this game that are simply giving insanely high amounts of XP per kill way out of line to circa 1999 EQ live.

People are gaining 4-5 levels a day in their 30s, and that's in spite of leaving a half dozen corpses that allows me ding them yet another level. It's not limited to one group or one guild... It's infected this whole server like a cancer and it seriously bothers me that people have turned an oblivious eye to the obvious. Pretty much everyone I've steered to this server who used to play back in '99 who step into Sol A just laugh.

But I mean, what do we do? Retroactively adjust everyone's XP based on a new modifer? Too much hassle? Change it now and punish those who found out about Candyland (tm) too late? That's not a good way to approach it either.

At this point all I want is just an admission of guilt, that something was dreadfully wrong and those who could pull the trigger in righting the wrong were asleep at the wheel, cuz lord knows us players do a pretty lackluster job of bug reporting and policing ourselves (and esp. each other).

A nice added bonus would be to turn the bankers in each city to miner's guild faction. That'd be a fun easter egg for a day or two. rawr.

This is why these fixes need to be made asap and not left to sit for 3 weeks.

I remember it taking 8-12 hours to get a level in the 30s. It's amazing that people now go from 30-40 in two days... If there was a vote, I'd vote for retroactively changing exp and /laugh at all the 50s that are suddenly 35.

What does someone do if there roommate is already playing on this server then? Virgis and I played together some on this server during beta and I would like to start playing again now that beta is over.

Gather up the sol levelers and burn em at the city center!

Burn the blasphemers! Burn!

Seriously, this needs to be fixed. But pls don't burn them.

PS: I'm assuming that that this is a problem because of what people have said here, not because it's a fact.

BETA SERVER----CHARACTERS WILL BE WIPED CLEAN AFTER BETA PERIOD ENDS.

After server opened up for a month and now with a significant portion of the server population being at lvl 45+. Development team should have enough time to look at the feedback they have gotten from players and make adjustments accordingly. Tweak the bads, and nerf the exceptionally goods to make the server true to its name, lo & behold, grand new start.

I know, I know, you guys are going to flame me. I'm so sorry.
