Level grinding hell = EQ2

Yawns · March 2005

Just like EQ1 SOE is trying to keep players by making leveling such pain in the ass and ofcourse there is enough of players that are going to waste hours after hours to level. Once they have wasted enough of hours it will become hard to quit even if they didnt like the game as they will feel like they invested so many hours to game, so they will continue waste even more and are sort of 'hooked' to the game.

My advice to all of you: Quit while you still can.

Hooray another idiot. I just went from 60% at lvl 26 to 70%at lvl 27 in under three hours the other day. If you don't like the "grind" go play something else.

To be honest, Everquest 2 grinding is one of the better systems I have seen

I set up shop over night to sell my wares and then hunt with a double XP bonus for a level and a half.

For example...I started a new character last week. I am level 20 right now with casual play.

Maybe you're not taking advantage of the vitality XP bonus?

If you are grinding in this game, you are definitely playing the game in the wrong way. There is absolutely no need to. If you want to know what grinding is go play Lineage 2. For me, it happens that I want to get the last 20% of a level in a quick way. That is the only situation where I might choose a spot and go kill whatever is in sight for a few hours, and that's something I don't even want to call grinding. Doing quests is still by far my main source of xp income. I would even go as far as to say that leveling is to easy.

But I would suggest to you to go play the game (something tells me you haven't played it at all) and find out for yourselve.

My 4 day old shamen is already lv 15 and i dont play more than 3 hours a day. If you xp while questing and make use of the bonus xp from vitality, you can level up pretty fast. Due to my play style (group oriented) I find it easier and faster to level up in eq2 than i did in WoW.

So what lvl did you get to Yawns, what class/race did you play ?

I find any level grind boring as hell, regardless of the game. But, if all you want to do is level to max, then can I suggest a single player console game? If you haven't noticed, the game is called EverQUEST. In EQ2, I'm level 21; 15 of those levels achieved while questing. I target the mobs which I need (and any others in my way) in which to fulfill a quest. Gaining levels in the process is just a welcome byproduct. If you play JUST to level up, you're easily passing up 9/10 of the gaming experience.
