I might be done here. The very slow xp grind is getting to me. Level 42 now and I can only take so much LGuk and Hole. I was begrudgingly logging in occasionally and grinding it away anyway, but today I used a race change potion to move my Origin bind over to Freeport. Apparently, there is a known bug that is deleting all spells in your spell book upon use. Instead of hotfixing it, they are waiting for this month's patch. You'd think they would remove the race change potion from the DB store, but no.
Their answer is:
So now I am supposed to waste hours of my time buying spells from all over the damn world. It's quite time consuming, even using shared bank and a level 1 mule plus the runs to Highkeep.
Thinking about it, I honestly just can't be bothered. Ideally, I want to run through xpacs that I have never seen before and the thought of the AA grind with this abysmal xp rate is enough for me to just call it quits now. Oh well, it was a fun / quick Classic nostalgia run.
As an aside, I think DBG would make an absolute killing making a reduced difficulty server. Lots of people just want to sight see and nostalgia trip. Make a server where all content can be handled with 2-3 groups. They would be tripping over their piles of money for people signing up for that. Not everyone wants to have raid schedules and rely on a few dozen+ people to see content these days.
