Honestly, when I see posts where noobs just simply refuse to log in because the experience bonus was reduced, it makes me think we aren't missing out on anyone important anyway.

The experience is fast here. Look at <Force> those guys haven't even been on the server a month and theres a whole guild of 50+ already. What more do you want?

The experience was at 75% for a LONG time and the population was stagnant. And now that it is removed noobs are claiming they just simply CAN'T do it anymore.

Don't get me wrong, I love noobs, I help them every day. But when noobs become ENTITLED to their fast exp and easy loots? Naw, naw.

The elephant in the room is that the exp scaling bonus is still in effect, PLUS the hotly debated 25% bonus. Forums doing it's usual good job of perpetuating fin toil hat conspiracies, created by people that don't even actively play on the server.
This is a joke. The entire guild shares level 50's and boxed their way up with the help of gear being handed to them. Compliments and help being handed to them by guilds foaming at the mouth at the opportunity to snag the new players joining with play times of 8+ hours a day. The guild has 0 PvP ability and is sitting in zones afk 8 hours a day with level 50+ doing all the work.

This is the same thing as comparing the average noob to Gream. Gream wondered on the server with no clue what was going on and was rushed to 50+ by Nihilum. The guy is decked out in gear and still has no clue what is going on.

The scaling bonus from what I have heard is no longer in the game. I'm pretty sure Nilbog stated that, saying the only remaining bonus is a straight 25%. Level 1-20 is probably about 2-3x as tough as it was. Hitting level 15 and knowing you could have been level 25-30 by that point is a big difference.

I don't see why Nihilum has any negative input on this subject. Are you guys trying to brag about your PvE skills and how well you can level in any atmosphere? The fact is Nihilum has very little in common with the average players play time. The average Nihilum player has 0 ability to relate with the gameplay experience of a casual player.

Do casual players mean anything to you? Probably not and you don't mean shit to them either besides the port/buff you provide every now and then.

But then again what do I know, this is Nihilum's server I'm just playing in it.
