I've leveled two characters to 50, one pre-exp bonus, wasn't "too bad" prolly took about 1.5 month back when there was PVP in all the EXP zones, 200+ pop, and had no gear/coin.

Then I leveled a warrior, post-exp bonus, it was god awful, and this was with constant PL or groupage. The EXP needs to be boosted so fucking badly on this server it's not even funny. There is NO PVP outside of the level 42+ scene. All the zones outside of Unrest are a ghost town beneath 42. People keep talking about the beautiful "journey" but it's just a barren wasteland of empty zones, with no Global OOC or YT so you feel like you're playing SoloQuest until your high enough to be powerleveled with bats in Sol B. That's not a journey it's just a test of endurance, and is detrimental to the server pop on a PVP server. EXP Bonus should have been 100% all the way through, and even that prolly isn't enough.

For all the people talking about omg Kunark will bring everyone back, good luck Melees in Kunark with the EXP rate at 51-60 and the pop as shitty as it is. No one is going to be carrying troll SK's in their groups in Kunark when level 54 takes two weeks to get through as it is. All the druids and casters will quickly poopsock their way to 60 and all the melees will be left behind begging for dat PL. There will continue to be no groups, EXP loss on pvp deaths will be more painful, CR in kunark will be more painful, more casuals will quit. Kunark will be the deathblow to this server if it's kept in it's current state, not it's savior.
