I just want to comment. First post. I started playing with a few of my friends two weeks ago. We've been having a good time, making some friends, some enemies, but ultimately enjoying the experience. We come from a game that is worse than EverQuest for griefing, so we have no problem with that at all.
It's really unfortunate that this XP bonus will be nerfed. We had a good ten people come over and legitimately start from the ground up. I think now around half or more will quit, simply because most of us have jobs and don't have months to spend leveling one character. I really don't understand why the scaling XP bonus (i.e. 1-10 = best, 10-20 = bit less, 20-30 = bit less) up to level 50 doesn't remain intact. If you want people to have to grind it out from 50-60, then so be it, but I don't understand why you have to hurt the new players who want to get to 50 to begin with.
TLDR: Population will decrease, which is possibly what the GM wants?
