Just to keep you posted since I'm possibly the highest level on the server. I stopped playing once I hit 55 and a few AA's. Personally, I think the exp is still far too low for the difficulty and number of AA's for the server. My current take on the exp rate would be:
1-40: The previous exp rate felt about right
40-55: The current exp rate feels about right
55-??: The current rate might not be bad depending on whether it stays the same through the remaining levels
AA rate: My thought is this needs to be increased a LOT to help offset the difficulty
* The above opinion makes the assumption that people can complete the content once they have all their AA's and reach the level that most high end trash mobs are green con
To give you an example, at level 55 fighting dark blues in POI I get a touch less than 1 blue bubble per kill and each kill takes about 2.5 minutes. This is with the level 54 BL pet and several good buffs (including the 53 pet haste). With resting and constant fighting we're talking between 1 to 2 hours of fighting for 1 level (at 55). Also, one AA will take about the same amount of time at level 55. This technically isn't too bad, except for the fact that the server uses live difficulty. Due to this, the only way for 1 or 2 people to have a chance at completing the content would be for them to spend an insane amount of time getting tons of AA's and as high in level as possible.
Out of respect for you taking the server over, I thought I'd give you my feedback since I spent a lot of time on it. I still really like the concept, but I personally can't invest the amount of time it would take to stand a chance at the high end based on the current exp rate.
Thanks again, Secrets!
