TLDR: okay, this post is too long. What I'm basically saying is that you don't need to be level 50 for EQ to be enjoyable, and each level along the way is its own new challenge. I'm not saying 10x exp servers are not fun, just that I and many others do not prefer them.

edit: as for my /played, I'm not logged in nor have I logged in for at least a week, but it's floating somewhere around 12 days. I played pretty casually and did not emphasize grinding that much, so the typical player around my level probably has less /played. Obviously this is a lot, but if you think of the journey to 50 as something you spread out over a few months and enjoy instead of something you're trying to rush, then it's not so bad.
Ok you actually surprised me, I thought you were gonna come here and try to spin everything.

The thing is, there is no population to support the mid level PvP.. you're basically playing P99 Blue with no one to group with until you hit 40+ then you're going to get spanked by the people who have been farming gear for the last 2-3 months..

The truth is, especially with our server's population, the game really does begin at lvl 50. People want to contest mobs, camps, zones, etc... no one wants to level up in empty zones, or have some random twink roll up and destroy you. If all of those zones were populated and there were groups to find at every level I could understand the argument.

It's been a few months now (we've warned the devs over and over)... the server isn't going to sustain itself in it's current state, why not trying boosting XP, get more people into the 40-50 range, see some new guilds form, and sit back and watch the PvP unfold...

I guess I am crazy..
