50% bonus for a week is a good choice given the recent situations with the server. One obviously is its going to be down for almost 2 weeks and doing this is a way to say "Hey thanks for sticking around guys, heres a little bonus for a week".
Another reason is the server was just announced on tentonhammer thing right? So as soon as its announced the server goes down and all the new players we might have had are prob discouraged to give it a shot now, well the xp bonus might convince them anyway to try it out for a week knowing they'll level a little quicker. Then once they play for a week, they'll be hooked like the rest of us!
And really, its just one week, in the end whats that really matter? Its not even like its double or triple exp or anything, its 50% for one week. Not that big of a deal.
