I voted to leave the bonus in, although I admit I have very little investment in this server and only log in once a month or so.

For my own enjoyment of the game I'd like no exp bonus, but as for what's best for the server, I think the bonus needs to stay. The majority of returning players came back for the exp bonus, and there are other players considering returning who are turned off by the idea that the exp bonus is going to go away. I think increased exp is sort of a manufactured need, but if a large number of people can't enjoy the server without it, it's best to leave it in. If the exp becomes too fast then people will be able to break rules and roll new characters with impunity, but a 50% bonus is hardly going to cause that to happen.

I'd also suggest that the exp penalty on death be removed, since it's pretty much been empirically proven that it doesn't deter bind rushing, that it wasn't needed in classic, and that it's an unnecessary annoyance for players who are already frustrated with slow exp.
