It has to be a combination of things, picks usable from higher level together with other things.
Also I started with 10k gold I think but then I read here its 50k - pple will try to rape the system if you provide any such loophole like here making hundreds of chars in turn to make gold that way. Their game is not to play mir but to F it up.

Was only a couple of days ago that i sat and watched a character called Kronos create character after character. Dropping the gold and picking it up. Its rediculous.

Not hard to get to 35?

What am I doing wrong... I'm level 28 and finding it really slow to level.

You'd think those who run servers would have learned what those who have run the official euro and usa mir knew.

Nothing. It's only 'fast' at that level if you have someone levelling you. Even then it would take like a week to get to 35 unless you geeked it.

Warrior, and I solo.

So that probably explains it.

Level in bug cave or mineral mines mate. The rate at what u kill the mobs compensates for the low exp youll level fast as hell :) especially when u get a chainkill quest

BC is really poor now, that's where Ihave been levelling but since they nerfed the EXP it's slow as hell, and have killchains been taken out? Sam was unsure as a few people had asked the same question.

I hunted lvl 37-38 & 38-39 in BC. 37-38 was before the latest reboot. Was piss easy was getting 30mins 1.5EXP and 15mins 2x power. Then I leveled just as reboot happened. 38-39 I did in BC after latest reboot and it sucked like hell. No kill chains whatsoever, and exp nurfed to poopie.

I'm about 40% on lvl 39 now and I got that from 1 guild hunt in ZT (8-9 people lvl 33+ from Exodus inc skibadee who's like... lvl 44/45) and 1 hunt at PT for like 2 hrs. And in PT is where I keep getting lots of kill chains but they're hard because they are line "30 Wind Minos in 15mins"... unless you're in Kr then it should be achievable.



The answer to your question is: Kill Chains still exist but only in certain lvling places like PT and ZT. I'm a war too and I lvled from lvl 26-39 in BC (when it was awesome). Now I think PTis best for a war really.

They've kinda ruined it then for lower levels, takes way too longer to catch up.

Bleh.

It's unfortunately the problem with most servers. If you play from the starting week or two, and keep up, you'll be fine. Considering this server's pull, that's probably 75 accounts. (keeping in mind the massive jump to 120 players online could be down to all those miners also)

3rd and 4th week, you'll get by. Especially if you're guilded or know what you're doing/where to go.

After this, it's difficult, unless you know people already playing. Especially with the 2 larger guilds killing each other on site from the start.

The availability of items from day1 is always a massive mistake. If you're testing and wiping, that's fine. If you want it open long-term, or make a decision to, you should wipe, take everything from the shops.

You'll eventually have a diminishing population, catering for 30 to 50 regular level 100 players.

(Regarding miners, you should have the server delete chars that are <lvl7 every 4 days or something. Lvl14 every week etc etc. Accept 3 or 4 logins from an IP, and so on)

I thought if you try to run the client again it auto closes? Would be useful to know how to get another open to trade between store chars....

Usually thats the case but on some servers they haven't set a limit [or cannot set a limit].

Most demoralizing is when the early pple leveled on fat grass which is made into diet grass for us later-comers, always been like that on every mir, goof ups happen which then are sanitized but pple are allowed to keep the fruit from those goofups, or some ace event is put on when you haven't been yet on or couldn't play that day and you get shafted.

Wiping low levels after certain period may help but those who want to screw the game will get around that anyway, I can imagine they make macro to generate new chars every time they need them, you need to put use of pick to some higher level. What's most galling the because of them mir will be nerfed for us late comers or those of us who don't have 24 h a day to play. And its plain stupid that startup gold on noobs, how much experience have our acem2 developers with running mir??

wiping low levels is a terrible idea considering some ppl use low levels purely as storage/stall characters

you can always level your store chars to 7+ in what, ten fifteen minutes max?

I can see another mistake made - the horses. That means your lev1 can ride to mines... but wait, why would he go to such pains, he can teleport to tao town as he got even gold in his pocket for that.
