XP RATE NEEDS TO STAY AS IT CURRENTLY IS

[SearyxTZ]

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.

55 already is kind of worrying in a social and mental sense

Just as an outside observer from blue, the biggest threat to red's longevity is people playing hours upon hours a day and demolishing the content super quick. I saw this when Red99 was still pre-kubark, where people farmed all the legacy items on 8 alts, locked down Nagafen and Lady Vox, and then wanted to go to Legacy of Zek, then destroyed that server and have come back to R99. Dang but get outside for a while, guys. New content in Velious is a ways off, even for blue =)

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?

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!

You guys are playing a game that takes hours of invested time... Shits not gonna happen over night.. Can only change it So much.. Why not just go play live EQ?? Should we remove corpse runs too?? Wouldnt wanna anyone to waste precious time... Let's face it.. The casual players are the losers here in a game that reflects mainly on time played... Nihilum hasnt logged off since Friday night.. There whole guild is already 60.. Either we are up for the challenge or not... Bottom line.. WhAt the server needs most???? LESS COMPLAINERS... No?

So you're a solo-capable class with a high end item to assist you (manastone) and it will still take you more than 4 hours to level. The future is great for my troll SK.
