Levels 1-30 are pretty boring after the second/third time. Twinking just reduces the down time to pretty much 0 for those levels for most classes.

Twinking get less effective after those levels the higher you go if you are soloing

The game is hell once you hit your fifties again. Most of my fun after doing raiding has come from fucking around on alts, but I swear to God no matter how much you like that class or the gear u buy it, once you start the fifties grind it is not worth your time.

My favorite classes have all gotten to 55 lvl and then I stopped. Wish I could press through to 60 just aint been able to do it. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Well, my warrior was my first toon on p99 so I had nostalgia driving me through the hell. It was cool when I got discs but actually leveling to 60 sucked. Basically you auto attack and that's about it. People will lie to you that the game is hard and complex but it's not. You auto attack one mob then the next at the same camps for maybe a hundred hours in your fifties. I may not have achieved 60 if chardok AE hadn't helped me get a couple levels.

Since then I have played numerous alts, all of whom had much better solo skills. I basically soloed all the way to 55 on my enc, a class whose mechanics I love very much


But at the end of the day,to go from 54 to 60, you are literally repeating the same actions on the same npcs for so long that its only fun if you are sedated by narcotics, depressed/escaping something IRL, or actually an obsessive autistic person.

That's basically a summation of that "Kunark Problem" article from way back. It takes about as long to go from 51-60 as it does to go from 1-51.

Only when going from 51-60, you're basically relegated to Karnors, Seb, HS or Chardok; only four zones for dozens and dozens of hours of XP grind. This is much worse on P99 where you only find PUGs in KC/Seb while HS/Chardok require bringing your own group. Finally, Karnor's is godawful xp once you're 55+ so now you're stuck in 1 of about 4 camps in Sebilis.

On the other hand, when you're leveling from 1-50+ you have the choice of about three or four different XP zones/dungeons at any given level. You could easily XP in a couple dozen different zones on your way up which GREATLY reduces the monotony.

What sort of things do you think people come here to escape?
