Any chance of Disabling all XP on PvE servers? - Page 2

You've forgotten the fact that there were no AA's before the expacs came out - So in essence, there's no possible way to make it as realistic as it was. (Again, like stated above, you all buy an extra account and JUST have the original game.

combat mechanics and classes are pretty different from the original game, too. doesn't mean they shouldn't try.

Based on their site and stuff, they're setting rules as far as what gear is/isn't allowed (pretty much none of the new legendary gear, MC restrictions, ideally no masters unless they're already scribed). It's a cool idea but doing it right will be tough... unless everyone gets a second account, and even then you have to keep track of what is and isn't "current" instead of old stuff. >_> I plan on making a char for it once I get some time (read: by the end of this week. Term paper due Thursday, wrestling match on Tuesday, couple tests coming up... after that's winter break though, finally. Late this year but it goes further into January, so w/e). But that's enough of my bitching.

Yeah, pretty much the only solid way is everyone gets the base game. I doubt you can actually dig up unattuned unsold copies of ancient MC gear. Oh, and the rubicite fabled recipes were taken out so the amalgams are worthless.

And fighters and warlocks were top dps and tanks could get 100% avoidance. Of course it's different playing, but it's still the same fun encounters

Just because they have AAs, doesn't mean they have to spend the points.

I think it's a cool idea however it reminds me too much of what it was like leveling at launch. I'm sure some folks will love it but starting a wizard at launch sucked and sucked hard. I was 42 and a 36 warlock was out dpsing me on single target mobs. The group that pulls off prismatic at 50 will be impressive though, no doubt about it.

The only similarities left between this and launch are the mobs themselves. And actually, even most of those have changed since T5 was being farmed.

I hope this works Calb. I'd love to come help and join with you guys, as I was trying to get this to happen for about 6 months. Never happened, but if you want someone of pretty much any class, lemme know.

I dont think that will work. That will only turn the content off, not xp.
