Was xp loss in pvp a good idea?

exp loss is stupid. my friends and I have already essentially quit playing because of the exp grind being unreasonable for people who work a 9-5 because as we had hit 5 people where hitting 30. I can't imagine making the grind that much slower would have enticed us to stay.

This is part of what is making me quit also. That the top plateau of population was reached when we were hitting 350 at peak.

Nobody but the most rare of masochist will deal with the pve grind PLUS losing exp vs twinks against which he has barely any chance to win over. Thats what any new blood to the server will have to deal soon, if not now.

So not only is the lack of pvp is making it suck for me, its knowing that unless the ruleset changes, this is the best that its going to get.

I doubt it will change, so im quitting while im ahead and didnt invest alot of time in a server im not going to enjoy in the short and long run.

Why bother racing to 50 when i know most people dont enjoy pvp (whatever the fuck they say) and they will be the core pop staying for the long run and can be expected to flee at the first death on my alt?

tbo a twink hybrid (as we are seeing now) is still 1000x easier than a level 4 mage, if ya couldnt take the lvl 4 mages at beginning then you sure as fuck cant take the twink hybrids

hey no worries some of us will be making the anti-twinks.

The exp gain rate on this server is pretty bad. Of all the things to be "classic" I don't understand why the horrible grind was left in.

[georgie]

yes because there is a lot of qq. if you cant take the grind then don't play.

Server pop right now is 246, on a Saturday night, in late December, when a lot of people are on break from school.

Sucks your server is a graveyard, maybe you should get rid of terrible bluebie grind that no real pvper wants.

this servers are legit, potus. you wont see increased exp like on other emus.

Oldfish, aren't you in Angry Wolves? Bindrushing may be fun for you, but your guild does not condone that sort of griefing :/

That's fine, there's always going to be some people that want to play the original grindfest of EQ, but it doesn't really make sense to make a pvp server and have not only the grinding, but also race+class exp penalties and exp loss on pvp deaths.

It's just bizarre, it's a combination of classic and new things that create perhaps the most bluebie of pvp servers ever -- one that requires an incredible amount of pve just to do anything.That really turns off a lot of people as the server population has shown.
