Guess who's back ??

General Discussion Started Last reply 20 posts
Hey there !!

I just received an email from our good people at NCSoft about a free reactivation, so i just went for it, updated to Freya, and here i am again for a couple of weeks, or maybe more !!

So, what's new here since ... well, about a year now ??

Are Drakkos, Spudnick, Jkoster (Olorae) still around ?

As for me, i still had all of my character names available (yeaaah for Grazzt and his Shillien Empire clan), even with the massive servers merge, so i'm quite happy about that, and i even got a free name-change that i always wanted form "Zaar" to "Zaarr" :)

Anyway, i found myself still enjoying the game after a bit of playing it (the mobs trying to talk me out of killing them was really funny), except (i know that was my usual rant) the very slow xping at some levels...
My Zaarr character is lv.52, which is not *that* high i guess, but even with full Vitality, 1 mob = 0.25% XP ... come on, that means 4 mobs for just 1%, that means 400 mobs for one level ... and i guess it gets even harder with each level ...
Honestly, i had more fun with my little lv.25 Elfie and all of her Newbie buffs...
(and please dont tell me to "go and play WoW", because that's exactly what a lot of ppl did and i guess that's why we only have 2 servers left now...)

So, is anyone that i used to know still around ??

Yes they are.
First of welcome back :)

I aint gonna tell you to play wow, but you should know that this game is a grinder game, 400 mobs for a level is absolutely nothing. :)

And, you know that one can take newbie buffs to level 75 now right?
ggg, welcome back :D
and yeah 400 mobs 1 lvl? haha have fun at 76 or 78
also quest for 3rd profa kill 700 mobs? i did and not even 3% went up lol :P
find a cool clan and party up with them and dont look at vitality system its a turn off :P
lvl up with no vitality and if u have some, think its like a gift from NCsoft hehehe
oh btw, get reccomendations its another 50% bonus to exp...
gl...have fun...

by the way WHAT IS WOW? why ppl talk about it? is that a game?
Transfer to Naia!
Not sure who you are, but Welcome back.

You should find the grind is a bit easier now at those levels, but yeah the game is still Grind Grind Grind. Just try not to look at the XP bar :) It might drive you crazy.
Yes they are.

only in the broadest sense of the term. some of us arent all there.

ETA: 400 mobs is like an hour hunt.

He he that's what i'm afraid of, that eventually i'll have to kill 4.000 mobs for one level ;)

Oh no i didnt know (or didnt remember) that !
So, i can go and visit the Newbie Guide even with my lv.52 toon and still get Wind Walk, that little Life Cubic and everything ?

Well, i am on Naia ... i guess ... that's the European server right ?

He he you're still there :)

You're probably right, but, if you remember me, i still dont find it fun to kill the same mobs in the same place for an hour straight...

Anyway, thanx to all of you who welcomed me back !!
Gratzz! And welcome back.
if you cant hunt for an hour in the same place, it will be difficult to play the game past 60's.

Lol, I can only dream of needing 4000 mobs for a level. More like 40,000 mobs for a level and I'm not even that high yet.

Yes, there will come a time when you have to kill multiple mobs to get a 0.01% tick on your XP meter.

i'm sure JKoster will be glad to find some more Roleplayers. are you still permabanned from the Echoes forums?

with the old crew now gone off you'll probably have some success. talk to him at the well. if you can find him.

Think I remember you leaving before they changed this, yea i cant remember a phone number but this get stuck in my head :D

Yea newbie buffs all the way to 75. but you don't get a life cubic, but on the other hand newbie buffs after level 40 gives haste lvl 2 and not lvl1 as it does pre lvl 40.

I know ... and i think that's probably what's gonna drive me away from here once again :(

Or maybe i should reroll every time i hit B-Grade ? (that may not be as stupid as it seems actually...)

Yes i think so.
Never really understood why in the first place by the way ... if i remember correctly, it all started when i wanted to create a sub-clan inside EoD with my Dark-Elven-only Shillien Empire stuff or something, then some paranoid dudes started imagining all kinds of crazy things...

Oh that thing still exists ?
Cool !! :)
Where and when does this take place ??

Ok cool, i'm gonna head for a Newbie Guide then and see how it helps !!

EDIT : it really helps indeed :)
