Nilbog already said there is a 50 percent bonus that will never go away. Only thing that is going away next week is the "extra" 50 percent bonus for kunark release.
Anyways, imo what we need more then even more bonus is to make the hybrid xp penalty apply to the hybrid alone, not shared out with the group. People are avoiding hybrids like they have the plauge and shutting them out of "community" with that anchor around their neck is far far more destructive to new player retention then extra xp bonus.
XP bonux 10x = wizards/druids/necros level 10x faster. Hybrids still avoided like leppers and quit.
I saw it leveling to 50, and i'm seeing it all over again. The original devs changed this malus when everyone became aware of it and started to descriminate. Ok, we are there now on p99. Make the malus carried by the individual hybrid only. I'm sure they wont mind carrying the burden themselves to 60 if they could actually get groups, join the community of players and have fun.
tl;dr: Make all class xp penalties self only, not dished out and shared with the group.

When the server launched i would have said its about the journey (aka pvping along the way) but since it seems we are not going to see the end of xp loss in pvp, i have 0 interest in rolling a pvp alt that i have to PVE grind to keep at the level i want him to be.
Most people are 50 or close to 50 now and the fun is probably most at the end game also. Ive seen a new guy comment that the worse to him was the lack of people to group with at 18.
Id say keep at least the current bonus, leave 50+ as it is (kunark launch bonus) because anyway right now, its 95% pve and 5% pvp in Kunark. We booted Nihi from KC last nite and they didnt even try to get it back, with their guild list being cut short.
Im enjoying the new zones, but for me the fun will be at 60 fighting over PVE so i wanna be done with grinding ASAP since pvp is not happening much. We need a healthy population at end game and we need the new guys not trailing behind for months alone and finally giving up and logging off before they reach end game.
