At fanfaire there will be a race to the top. First person to the top wins some kind of prize. This is to let them practice, nothing more.<div></div>

We all know its for pratics anyone who even tells some one that is an idiot. My question is what is it? Is it a low lvl zones, and what this aboutthe fanfair?<div></div>

<div></div>It scales to the highest level of your group plus 2-3 levels.It may be just practice but they should at the very least give exp when killed.

Why should it give XP when it's not meant to be a zone for you to grind in?<div></div>

<div></div>If you think its pointless then don't do it.<blockquote><hr>*** Fan Faire ***- Players who attend Fan Faire and have the opportunity to participate in the tournament will be competing in an alternate version of Nest of the Great Egg.- The team who defeats the Chamberlain and interacts with the egg first wins!- You can access this zone in West Freeport and Qeynos Harbor near the entrances to the Arenas.- This zone scales for players level 20 and up, so get practicing to reign supreme at Fan Faire!<div></div><hr></blockquote>If it gave experience why would anyone ever leave Freeport or Qeynos? This is a practice zone, and only a practice zone. If it gave experience it would actually be a play zone. We didn't want people grinding in there.PS.

<div></div>well to balance things out. if one were to say die in that zone, would they accumulate debt? if so, then should it not be giving exp to be able to clear that debt. if not, then no big deal.

Silverpaws

03-27-2006, 11:59 PM

Yes, you get debt. Its kinda ok the way it is, but if I cant get exp, then I shouldnt get debt, imo.<div></div>

<div></div>I can't stop you from taking gear damage, or prevent debt, however next update if you complete the trial it'll clear all of your debt. This isn't something you need to do by any stretch of the imagination. I just thought since I was setting this up for Fan Faire it'd be nice if players that don't have access to this zone normally had a chance to run through it to get to know it before the contest at Fan Faire. I promise I won't force anyone to go in there.<div></div>Message Edited by Lyndro-EQ2 on 03-27-200603:11 PM

I -am- going to Fan Faire. I probably should run through there at least once before then.. but since I'm not going with anyone I know (well, okay 1 person) and I have a heck of a time getting a group some days.. I don't know if I'll even have a group for it for Fan Faire *laugh*.</div>

<div>The reason I went in there is for the discovery/aa exp. I mentored a low level character and unmentored when I zoned in. I was able to walk thru the entire zone and get nice discovery/aa exp in a matter of a couple minutes.</div><div> </div><div>Kerlin - 70 Fury</div>
