The problem is that a 20% boost in exp isn't enough to attract people. If it takes you 240 hours of played time to ding 50, then making it take 200 hours instead isn't going to bring in tons of players. You need to think about what demographic is disinterested because of slow exp: is it the people who have real lives, or the people who are just too awful at the game (95% of VZTZ players) to endure the grind? I'd guess it's the latter just from reading this thread. And that's why 40 hours isn't going to make a difference for these players, because they want to instantly ding 50, they don't want to experience mid-level pvp, they just want to hide away in some remote area of Norrath where they can level undisturbed and participate in epic 30 vs. 30 fights over dragons. The problem is that you can't have a 30 vs. 30 fight on a server that has only 20 people, which would be the fate of this box if the VZTZers got their way.
