Bring back classic exp, bonus disgusts me

There is no bonus currently. Even the scaling exp bonus was removed. GMs are silent, rogean is silent.

Actually Tecmos did some testing and proved the existence of a scaling bonus that starts at 100% (level 1) and appears to drop by 2% a level. For example, a level 1 of the same race/class received exactly twice the experience on red as on blue as recently as a week or two ago but the bonus at level 45 was negligible at best.

That of course has no effect on 50+, it's no different here than blue aside from the zero groups and constant PVP.

I must admit I tried being optimistic but when "by the end of the week" stretches into two and three weeks without any word at all I've pretty much given up on optimism. I'm the kind of EQ player who loves making alts and leveling them to experience difference classes and my play time is probably 1/10th of what it was even a month ago. I have a 51 rogue, 53 warrior, 40 necro and 52 monk I want to level up, but I guess I don't have the neckbeard I once had as the thought of putting in 15+ hours per level on these alts now just makes me want to not log in.

Haven't logged in for like a week, bring that shit back

I don't mean to sound disrespectful to the staff but this type of xp was fine on live servers with 2000+ people and an active community to always group with. On a server, even if this server had 500 people, it would still be excruciating to level as groups are rare, and if you don't play a select class or know someone to PL you are screwed.

Are people here living in a time bubble? At launch this server was the shit, but now....

Also, I do remember the twitch interview with Rogean and Sirken talking about how they wanted players to have slower xp so that when one has to log off they are still within grouping range when another logs in. That's fine and dandy but that is only going to benefit a select few people that start this server together. I would be willing to bet the VAST majority of players who are coming into the server have no affiliation with anyone and are coming into EQ the way they did in the past, alone and new.

In the 21st century, the last thing i want to do is auto attack a light blue mob with a rusty dagger for 2 minutes only to have to sit for 5 minutes to repeat for over 100+ hours just so that I can get in a group to raid pixels.
