This should give everybody an idea of how I am building the class paths on the new server. One thing I wanted to do this time was make
sure you "WORKED" your way up to greatness instead of just have it handed to you. A lot of players despised that about the older servers
and I can see why. Nobody just wants to be the best out of the box. It gets boring and you feel like you didn't earn your toon. The below
table is the finished product for the Eradicator DPS Warrior. You'll notice that as you get these special items (story will explain why I have
chose items for this system) you'll get a stronger evolving buff for each tier of item you obtain. Eventually at 60 (THE RING OF POWER!)
you'll gain 5 features to your path buff that will make you a bad ass.
With this said, leveling in the new server has been greatly toned down. Players will really need to earn 60 and not just get it
with x7 experience bullshit etc. The journey is indeed a big part of the fun of character development. That's also why I don't
have spell/disc trainers either or npcs to hold your hand. Players will also lose experience when kicking the bucket as well. I wanted
to bring the challenge and fun back that a lot of players enjoy about EQ but also add my own crazy spin on what I feel will be an
entertaining casual experience.

part of the "Earning" your toon process that I am focusing on with this server.
More to come.
