Quest XP and rewards

[Tayne]

lol.

My goodness.

Y'know we had copious amount of threads saying "EQ2 is too easy, it's been dumbed down way too much" and then we'd all merrily regale of the days of subquests for class, and shard runs (and Bob would yell at Fred saying SHARD RUNS SUCKED! and Fred would yell back "NO THEY DIDN'T YOU DORK!" -- but that's another argument entirely), and how we all used to be forced to group, and wasn't it wonderful, lalallalala ...

... so SOE read those threads and gave us a zone that you had to work a little bit harder, and (ack! on no!) take a little bit longer to get to the max level -- so that you could actually read the questline and fight the tougher mobs for once and enjoy the gameplay before .. DUM DUM DUM .. reaching max level and running out of things to do and coming here to kvetch about it.

And surprise! surprise! For those who find the xp gain too slow, (my goodness!) there are alternatives! You can venture back into the older zones and BAM! Wow, congratz! You're 92!
