Low population server, new players with limited ability to find ports (there are often gaping holes in the day where noone responds to a OOC for a port). MM is popular because it's easy to get to and you can find groups there. Also, since most people are adults now and have responsibilities; the 1 hour it takes to put together a group, find a port and get to the leveling spot ends up being a significant chunk of a persons free time.

So, instead, people go to MM where they can almost always find someone to join up and duo/trio with. Full groups happen fairly regularly, and the Xp can be started immediately.

I've personally not had too many confrontations with twinked assclowns in the zone (Bush a couple times, but we managed to chase him off when Biscuits showed up). However, I don't see how supporting / protecting these assclowns is in any way healthy for the server. At least limit it to the 40+ level range when the effects of massive twinking aren't as drastic.

My suggestion would just be to alter the leaderboards so someone who is a confirmed twink doesn't receive any kill credit unless they're killing another confirmed twink, until they're in the 40s.

Note: Obviously the established people aren't having as much a problem, because they know people and have other characters they can log to. The brand new people who want to give it a try though, don't have that luxury just yet.
