It all depends on how you play I guess. I run a minilogin because I then have total control of the game...some fun things I have done include setting respawn time to a week for all mobs, and genocide (kill everything) in the zone which sometimes takes days. Few things are more fun than emptying a zone yourself. I also play as close to legit as possible, without the time sinks (ie, I use #zone, #heal after fights, etc). Level 45 DE War and climbing... I do have the XP multipler set to .25, as gaining XP playing solo is WAAAAY too fast to experience all of the zones at certain levels. When I played live, level 65 was a destination and I grinded it out as quickly as possible. Now, I get to enjoy all of the zones at or near their intended level and have explored nearly every level 45 and under zone, most of which I missed on Live.
My next char will only advance thru the expansions as intended. IE, I will play classic only until level 50, kunark until 60, Velious until Sleepers is cleared, etc. all the way thru. I want to take character magelo snapshots before going to the next expansion to see how the characters progress. This time, the XP modifier will be set to 1 but I will delevel myself if I have not finished an expansion with enough good gear to advance to the next.
/shrug, EQEmu is just like any other game...its all what you make of it. Not getting caught up in the drama of live servers, ego, and competition have made EQEMU one of the best and most fun games I have ever played
