| <quote>Just remember, this is a RP world. You are encouraged to RP and play with other players. Your not intended to go out and LEVEL up killing monsters ubtill your level 10 or so withing your first few days. Put your char into a role and start RPing from day one. You can do some quests with people around your level or you can get in a party with some higher level people and get some explorations xp (thats what it is there for). Dm's also give xp out for good RP so dont be suprised to get a ... |

| <quote>It can often seem like RP XP isn't forthcoming.
My first 300 hours on the mod I didn't get a single blob of it, I don't think.
It tends to come during quests (Which do happen, and any character can join), or when you're just hanging around and a DM happens to be watching.
Alas, some very good RP which -does- deserve to be rewarded is missed in this way. But such is the nature of life.

| He awoke in a small room in a small bed, both made of wood. He shook the sleepiness from his head. It was not a natural sleep, but an induced state. A trance. The trance. Now he remembered. He had been traveling.
He had made it through the Initiation. He had been led down into the heart of Mount Revalon and buried alive with his brothers. They were left, each buried separately, to find their own way out. It was not a test of strength, but of submission. Not of will, but obedience. ... |

| Eh, it's pretty good, but it could use some work. It's certainly the best thing out there though.
But I'm just a perfectionist, that's all. |

| I agree with your point, but again I claim that this is not about MORE xp, but BETTER xp. And I am completely ignorant about crafting xp. I tried it a little, and only got 1 xp. So maybe that is more the rangers, but that would mean rangers get no xp from crafting.
So what you are saying is that monks get more ability usage xp than barbarians? FASCINATING. Let's review. Never before has a monk ever gotten xp for using an ability. So I would extrapolate that to mean that if a ... |

Lighten up before talking please and get a sense of humor. |

| Monks are definitely hard to play. And while "doing all that meditation stuff" isn't as fun as it might seem, it is nice that it is difficult enough to be one that it deters everyone from being one. So for me, being one who really enjoys monks, it's nice to be one of a few.
BUT please don't take this post to mean that I wouldn't 'appreciate' the monk being a little easier to play. Just that I don't mind it the way it is. |

| I understand all of the above arguments, and they all make sense. Characters are not meant to be equal...roleplaying is where the fun is...there are plenty of ways to get xp. Yes.
For me however, the concern is with the advertising. I spent a goodly amount of time before signing up with Vives reading about it. Especially exciting for me, and I imagine others as well, was this incredible and dynamic experience system. And I must say, from the way it is described, it is quite ... |

| First of all, all I have to say is that I am definitely going to post more often, especially after seeing the awesome and wicked fast response I got. Wow. As much as I liked Vives before, let me tell you...
Ok, so it's a 'bridge', not a 'hole'. I can accept that. BUT, if you the experience system worked the way it was supposed to, you wouldn't have certain problems.
Take 'stunning fist' for example. This is a wonderfully perfect example. Oooh, I love this. Ok. You are a new monk. ... |
