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.

The hybrid penalty should be removed period. It never ever made sense. At all. The original logic was that because these classes were a mishmash of two pure parent classes, they would be stronger but level slower. Except they aren't stronger -- Rangers in fact completely suck. This went out the window after like the first month of the game.

There are still not enough lower or mid level players to support any active low level game (and there never will be). When I'm the only person in Warsilks or Lake on Kunark launch day, that's not good. They did the scaling bonus thing which made total sense. Need to fold that over a few times. The grind should be condensed to 40-60.

Box needs YT and hotzones for the above reasons. Players are gonna be too spread out. You can probably count on KC and Seb being active all the time, but the outdoor zones will be completely scattered with like 1 player per 5 square miles.
