I honestly think the xp bonus really balances out "falure" though, which is great for a server where your xping can come to a screetching halt when 1 guy busts in kicking your group mates in the face while you're tryign to level.
A lot of people dont have the will to keep at it when this game is crushingly cruel to you, I mean deep down its why we all love classic eq, but deep down we also get frustrated when we're trying to just play our favorite game while our So's sleep or watch sex in the city. Red can be far more crushingly difficult than blue can be.
I love classic EQ and everything that the game has to offer, but as someone who has spent a lot of time playing this game I think the xp rate on red99 is what eq should have been. Its by no means exploitive (it still takes a day of grinding to get through a level come 46+) and its equally less painful than 46+ is in classic/blue.
