Are you suggesting we give them pets? This is a classic server, non-solo classes are still going to be shitty soloers.

Exactly that's why they are fucked when there is only 3 other people on the server in their level range on the entire server pre-40.

They either accept the challenge or you can direct them to EQlive (which is free now) and their meele can hire a merc to PL them to max level in no time.

As for this server, its classic EQ.

Only people complaining about increasing exp are the people in the large guilds who already have leveled their mains to 50 and have PL'd alts uber quick with a druid and don't want new players to get 40ish quick and throw off the guild balance.

Sorry I'm not leveling a druid to 50 just so I can then turn around and level another character to 50 (a melee) that I actually want to play with PL'ing.

Believe me when I tell you that it's not going to be an unlimited free for all. If it becomes a headache for the staff we will just shut it down. This means you people have to act like humans NOT a bunch of bratty 3rd graders.



in no particular order:

1 exp rate is already increased at lower levels. You have a 200% XP rate at level 1. at level 50 you have a 100% XP Rate. so there is already an xp boost, it's scaled.
.

Look at the culture on the forums..and you think global /ooc will be better?? Please lets not ruin in game EQ the same way these forums have been ruined.

2. I hope your figures on the xp bonus rate are wrong, because as I recall them being explained its 100 percent xp bonus at lvl 1 that slowly decays up to zero precent bonus at lvl 50. I REALLY hope its not 100 percent still at level 50 because that is tottaly out of line with classic EQ.

I'm looking forward to Global OOC. If it's regulated as promised it will provide an easy way to remove the trolls from the server instead of just the forums.

it's not +100% at 50, 100% in her example is normal 'classic' xp.

At lvl 1 you get 2x xp per mob, and then slowly less as you level.

The whole concept of increasing xp is just wagging the dog at this point. The need for increased xp is due to lack of population, increasing xp won't drastically increase population; but it will be a band-aid to prevent new players from leaving.

The blue server is a good example, they have a classic XP rate and a very nice sized population.

I'm absolutely for a temporary increase in xp rate, as it will encourage the few new players we get to stick around, but it's still a bandaid until the real causes of why players quit is analyzed and corrected.

Classic had thousands more playing at all times. Get off your classic high horse and realize it's nothing like classic. This server caters to casters and solo classes.
