With that in mind, my question is - why bother with the bonus at all?

I can't imagine it will bring additional players - in fact, I believe the server will be at record pop on Friday and Saturday already, bonus or not.

Maybe to make sure that everybody who logs on when the server returns stays with the community because they have a slightly higher level character than they would without the bonus? But then, what happens when it exp rate is back to normal?

I just can't quite grasp it.
Well from what I can see the exp bonus for a week is pretty much a Thank you from the Developers/staff for all us who have waited patiently while the server has been down. The majority of us will be thankful enough just to have the server back up and running. rog has stated its only a 25% now for 1 week. 50% exp is about the same as normal exp when kunark arrives so I see no harm either way. All it does is help out a little bit with those who have exp penalties. It will make no difference in the long run.

Also Finawin has made it very clear, there will be those who will whine over just about everything. Thats the general public for you.

Rog has found the middle ground and settled on 25%. If people are still ungrateful or if people are still opposed then I would suggest pretending its a server wide GM event or do not level up.
