As someone who has played since launch with populations of 6, 21, 3, and 530 respectively I can tell you for sure that removing /ooc or reducing exp bonus will seriously damage whatever population that is left.

All of us who have played here for a long time have come to the realization that the population is going to be what it is (mediocre) until Velious is dropped and 140 Nihilum players come back and shit all over everyone.

The only things that might change it are serious policy changes that involve boxing or a wipe that simply are not going to happen.

Faerie hit the nail on the head with this:

But the red players demanded it stay on and made a big stink, and Rogean decided to let us have it long term. It damaged the server for all the reasons outlined in OP.

XP Bonus for red? Yes. Nearly 400% xp per mob kill from 1-50? No.

fearie also roleplays.

go make a rogue, turn off all chat, and report back on that experience upon reaching level 46.

Of all people you decide to listen to someone who played casually for like 3 months.

FYI Faerie played at launch when there was no exp bonus and no /ooc.

They promptly quit in less than a month.

Wipe it or leave it pal.

agreed. changes of this nature could only be remotely considered positive if done in conjunction with a wipe and/or launching of a team server. if done haphazardly to the current server you'd simply further damage the already low population, offsetting any potential gains to be seen from velious.

That post just summed up my thoughts on that aspect of the subject (XP bonus being too high, being left in for too long, and being a mistake to have been done that way).

I listen to everyone on here and in-game.

Why would anyone group with a rogue when they can get double the XP solo?
