That makes sense, but then again also having insanely fast 1-30 game discourages low level zone groups such as oasis, and forces more players to solo 1-30 as well. Although with enough xp bonus any class can get 30 with a few hundred plat worth of gear.

Riiiight, because you want people quitting and getting discouraged from 1-30.

And people coming in NEW... Not from Blue, not Twinked, not having friends here... are going to have that money to buy gear with.

You want people spending time 45-60 and PvPing. Not spending the bulk of their time doing the most idiotic thing, which the modern MMO improved from EQs version... grinding.

It all comes down to this very simple logic:

How much time do I need to invest (leveling up) to have some fun(pvp).

There is nothing going on low levels.. maybe there is ONE group in some random ass zone, but if you can't port, make it there on your own, or if they even allow you to join (most people don't even want a hybrid in their group) -- you're doomed to solo.

Your class can't solo? Good fucking luck.

This is what i am afraid of. I rolled SK and going with shaman buddy but even then we are going to be leveling very slowly due to exp penalty.

Don't know if i can put in the time to get to the action in the upper 40's. What kind of /played am i looking at with no gear and starting fresh?

Exp rate woyldn't even be so bad if boxing was allowed so you can box the class you need to level.

No. Boxing. Ever.

Yeah I'm actually fine with no boxing. The only thing I'd want boxing for is getting through the lifeless shitty low levels. For actual pvp (and high-end pve), 1 box is better.

If they addressed the low/mid level experience then boxing would mostly cease to be an issue.

One of my pals (Kable) got banned on Sunday for going around it and boxing a shaman to PL his new iksar toon. I warned him about it but his sentiment was "I don't give a fuck and I'm not spending my time doing this low level shit again" and I can't really disagree with that. It's somewhat ironic that people get banned here for something that was incredibly prevalent on live.

I'd hope that the devs see the root cause of that problem and address it sooner rather than later since this little Kunark spike isn't going to last forever.

yeah, currently getting a quad on a 48 wiz, getting about a blue per quad. Thats still 25 quads, at around 10 minutes per quad/med up (with manastone)

Its still painful.. I dont like leveling solo. Its strait boring. But kunark is crawling with zerglings so cant really go there for group exp either yet.

Keep that exp not kidding!
