open beta testing for classic legit pve

[eqtest]

I love progression servers and your's sounds exactly like the type I would like. However, I won't simply because of the exp rate. I have no desire to slog out 50 levels. I tried Clumsy's World and just couldn't do it. Good luck!

unless there is an overwhelming call for an exp change.. it will be left as default. aside from dungeon encounters, the slow exp in classic was what encouraged people to group. why waste your time meeting up with someone when you can solo the rest of your level in that travel time?

in my opinion, some of verant's "mistakes" coincide with that classic feel. want to be a troll shadowknight? there should be a price to pay for uniqueness.

(masochists i tell you!)

masochists indeed.. i fear i am one of them.

the goal of my server is not to make it hard.. just to make it original. the good with the bad. if progression only takes 1-2 weeks.. whats the point :T

i have spent the majority of my time working on the database.. and im still researching what all i can change via source. (suggestions welcome)

if anyone has any questions i will do my best to answer them!

Sounds like an achieving server. I'll check it out.

I wouldn't mind playing at a slow level rate again. I don't know why you'd want to just PL to 50. There's fun to be had at all levels.

But I don't like the class exp penalties being put back into the game since it just puts people at a disadvantage with no gain or reason for it. Original or not, I don't think you'd put a bug back into the game just because it's original you know? Atleast the race penalties make some sense.

the compass on the screeshot while original EQ was using sens heading ( hahha fun skill )

as long as theres a decent enough player base slow exp wont be a big deal , you just need people to group with , i think besides the game and its mechanics the best thing about eq for me was community , and if you arent in a group grinding out levels how are you ever gonna make those friends in a game ...

im not sure but is boxxing going to be allowed ? if it is thats kinda of a community breaker , but the way the server is being built you need a group , so if im the only one on in my level range almost need a box

the TZ VZ server has something in place that only allows for 2 boxxing by blocking the ip or some such from connecting to it a third time ?
