95% of these +pop are nihilum raiders who usually only logon for raid night

new alts coming up son

Smedy is probably right.

In the long run exp bonus won't really save server. People are getting on and grinding hard because they know it is a limited window of boosted EXP.

If it was permanent server would dwindle undoubtedly. Just easier to PL alts and even more empty lowbie zones.

I disagree

Might be only chance beside a wipe to get numbers up and have a lively box

Wed just have to experiment it to figure out

I think more and more people would join in as the numbers get better and better

Then id nerf the xp, but not before 4-500 pop, and putting in a group xp bonus that entices people to group with each other

I never played EQ to to grind levels. I hated that shit on Live. PvP and PVE in the big dungeons (and to some degree GUK) is what I enjoy. I am on of the new players on R99 (my highest level toon is 41 at the moment).

This xp boost is perfect for players like me who enjoy the pvp/gear up for pvp part of the game.

Bluebies have no trouble with their exp rate. Why are we so whiny about it?

Because on blue a player doesn't have some scumbag like me draught them twice while lvling and force them on an hour CR.

Everyone I kill in T.deep or OOT has an hour boat ride as well as however long it takes them to get to a boat from their bind just to get back to lvling.

The server was at almost 200 pop last night it was a wonderland of pvp, I'd like that to stay, I even donated I was so happy!

I hope everyone else donates(even just a few bucks) to show how happy we are with a thriving pop!

There is nothing your ever gonna do that will stop players who cut out 18 hours a day to play a game NOTHING!

They don't need double exp for alts they are twinked as fuck and can run bard groups, but keeping double exp in lets low lvl players catch up in a descent time. So far we have seen double exp increase server pop exponentially and no evidence whatsoever that keeping it would discourage server pop in any way.

Sorry but I saw a ton of non twinked lower lvls out that were clearly not nihi alts since exp rate was increased. Plus I've seen 3 nihi twinks in fungi's lvling they were always red and yellow to me, I am not a twink and thx to double exp I was able to pass them in lvl.

It is sad that 200 is like woohoo when I'm used to having 2000 active players on Rallos and sullon to pk but fuck man it's a lot better than the normal 73 pop

But then again it's really sad that there are a 1000 players on blue that are essentially playing a rpg with friends, how much of a worthless coward do you have to be to fear dying to people in a video game!

a kick in the ass is better than a kick in the balls too, but i'd still rather have neither.

if people are having fun, good for them, but normal people are still entitled to make fun of them and their poopsocking stickybums
