I am still shocked, that Derubal seems to believe that lowering the xp bonus will help the server. There arent groups who will form strong bonds because they suddenly xp lower.
Derubal, you should create an untwinked character on red99 and level him to 51, and then tell me how many groups you found.
Ok, i am an european, i cant speak for the east time zone, but while i play there are maximal 100 people serverwide online and i bet 90 of them are 50+. I had a group ONCE. The rest of the time i just run solo through the world.
Untwinked you still need plenty of time to reach 50+, and you are forced to play an class who can solo. Lowering the xp bonus wont do any good for the server. But well, just do it and watch the result.
I said it before, you should up the xp bonus even more, so people reach 51 in no time (while removing the cost for spells up to 51), so the playerbase is at 51. There groups will happen.
Just log on, use your guide powers and watch the levelspread while offtime and while primetime, and then tell me how many groups 1-50 COULD happen if people group in levelranges up to 5 level, BELOW level 50.
But please remove FoH chars from this, simply no one will group with them anyway (And they wont group with any other). Also keep in mind that Nihilum wont group with RD and several other guilds.

I agree with this; the server is top heavy - that is a fact.
Stunting people's progression will end up with new players seeing less pvp because they won't be able to level due to not being able to find groups a) because no ooc serverwide b) there are no people to group with.
Taking a sample size of 30 chars and saying 10 were new people is hardly scientific proof of a booming population. A better estimate would be the population of people from 5-35..
