They both last the same amount of time if the host is dedicated. On a server like this, everything is new/renamed so it appears new from level 1 as far as I know; therefore more fun to explore and find new things.
What makes high rate more fun?
No we don't all know that, as it isn't the case. There was a lot of hype over DC, as there will be a lot of hype over this. Also with other low-rate servers there has been a lot of hype.
I just don't see the point in super fast levelling and then it goes slow and things go rare. Keep it slow-medium and keep things rare all the way so no-one complains about 'LOL IT'S TOO FOCKING SLOW' etc.
There's no need to constantly add new things if you have planned all the way up to level 50 and it's low rate, as no-one is gonna reach 50 for a while; which puts less stress on the server owner to add new things which is better for the server.
There is fun in being a noob. Exploring, huge noob hunts, low level quests etc. Learning about the server. And he won't make it 30 odd. There's no point. Low-rate high level is say 50. So you only have 20 levels to go. And there's no need for level 1-30 which is a huge amount of levels to just dismiss.[/quote]
lol well, its each to there own, some will agree with me, some will agree with u... maybe u should do a poll see wot majority of forums prefers :P
high rate is more fun (again this is just a persons opion, theres not much i can say rly 2 prove that 1 is better than the other) because u have new and different stats which is a new experience to plain old boring euro copy. boss's are more of a challange, so is fightin. reason i say that is cause on high stat servers u have instant pots.... so if ur killin a hard boss and it rly hurts (which it should) u have 2 concentrate and make sure ur constnatly clickin away at them pots, sometimes fast as poss 2 stay alive... basically the better the potter u r the better chance u have of stayin alive.
where as on a low stat server with normal pots... all u do is click, sit w8 and watch ur HP slowly go up or down lol... yawn boring =x not many boss's on low stat will like 2hit u really quick, as it wont be killed with norm pots, unlike high stat where u would get them kinda boss's
i know thats abit of a reason thro, may even be a bit complicated, but thats my opion of why high stat servers r more exciting and fun...
I'd be much happier with 25% cos then I know I only have 75% more to go until I level, and I am much more satisfied. I can also get the most of my level, and not level 3 times in an hour and miss out on getting items and skills which would help me when I start to level again. Also, for me anyway, levelling 1 level as opposed to levelling on a high rate server is much more fulfilling. I know if I am like 40+ on a low rate server and the person closest to me is 33 then I know they won't catch me in a night and so there is no strain to level put on me. Not the same on a high rate.
soz but being a noob and hititn a mob 1/7 hits is not fun..its boring as fk lol. u can learn about the server at any lvl, torozor for example i been learnin about the server from lvl0>209, as i said as long as thres new things and lots of things it'll be good.
as for the bit about 40+ and knowin a 33+ wont be able 2 catch u, theres no point in a comment like that, as its exactly the same as on a high rate server, just the gap will be different... like on say torozor if im lvl200 i know a lvl180 wont over take me in a nite so there is no strain to level put on me as u put it.
ah ye also... wot do u get when u get 1 level? about +6hp and +25mp(on a wiz)... wot would u get if u did 5 levels in the time it took u 2 do 1? about +30hp and +125mp.... its more of an acomplishment as i said.. the rewards for lvlin on mir these days r a lil **** in terms of stat increases. only thing 2 lvl for is items+fact ur higher than some1.
Aimed at Bon - Either way man i think it should be low-medium rate as we originally planned it, Want real mir players
But honestly if you dont want to do leveling there are plenty of things to keep you occupied with your profession (job) and religion.
Just broaden your horizons
/Curt
wot u mean by the profession and religion? u sayin theres other ways 2 level rather than goin around like normal killin mobs?
i dont really mind playin a low ish exp server.. just its so **** and boring as a noob, supose lvl17 aint that bad a start lvl =/ should at least make it 22 tho :P
i can do real lvlin done a lvl48 wiz on euro -_-
