all i can say is for the casual player, its a nightmare.
classic xp is great, for a classic server in 1999, with a classic pop of 1k+, thriving groups, etc etc. but on a server where pop barely reaches 150, and avg is now 80.... this is a deal breaker. especially to hybrid. why end a good thing gms?

I play casually for the most part, probably 10-15 hours a week and I'm level 52 doing almost nothing but solo exp... I started doing paw entrance/aviaks in SK in my 20s through about 32 then moved to Cynthia in RM, then on to specs all the way until level 51. I barely moved during that time aside from gating to the bank to sell scythes and a 2 minute run back once an hour.
This is undeniable PROOF that exp bonus is ruining the server and causing the problems. The exp bonus causes players to do everything possible to stay alone and secluded. No one groups, no one has fun, no one PVPs mid levels. Rogean decided he didn't want anymore CALL OF EVERQUEST and removed the exp bonus. Level 52 by a casual in a few weeks barely playing, never pvping, only grinding alone. How fucking sad/pathetic! How can you claim there are MORE people playing when these players just grind alone?
With the exp bonus gone we can finally get the JOURNEY OF EVERQUEST like it was meant to be: classic as FUCK exp! No more bard kiting to level 60 in a day for your 6th max level character, this is how everquest is meant to be played. Thank you Rogean please don't flip flop to appease a few loud players.

This is not true at all, not all of us can dedicate the time it takes to level in classic mode, there is plenty of pvp in mid levels. And even though I play a solo class I always look for groups which normally there are none to be had due to low pop. Without XP bonus I am better off in blue. Since I am a social player in my eyes no xp bonus will kill the server. At least for people with my play style. You See without XP bonus you are "Forced to group" and with 100 players who the hell are you going to group with...
as the Locals say... Off to blue pals. (and not for the "blue experience" but for a damn group)
Although I do love the classic xp, it does create character bonds and friendships. It also allows you to enjoy your new spell levels and save money for the new ones. All gear upgrades are a big thing. But at this point its a POP issue and a Time issue. XP bonus is needed.
Oh and on a side note, when the XP bonus was active for the eqmac shutdown I was able to find groups.
