With group/exp bonus and PvP we got like 8 levels in 2 hours. I bet if we were on blue we would have gotten maybe 5 levels.
See, this is what every Red player's first experience should be like (except maybe the twink part; can't expect twinks to just constantly hang out in newbie areas). The unfortunate part is that currently some players get a starting experience like that, and some get ganked a couple times and quit.

Now, imagine that PvPing was disabled in starting areas, and every player got to have a starting experience like Hippo's. Imagine how many more people would make it past their first few levels on the server.
