Thread is 100% right - server felt like it had a thriving mid level/low level community - I was jealous at times and considered making an alt. Now that the exp bonus is removed it just feels like it did before no one wants to play alts when it's this slow and new players are discouraged by all the faggot super twinks that sit in popular areas.

I have to agree 100% with this posting. I like leveling alts and there was a marked difference in the availability of groupage when the XP bonus went away. I don't play Everquest to play alone.
Sure, there are new players joining, but they are being griefed off the server with crap like twinked out level 20 something rogues with Ragebringer, fungies and best dropable haste items. Add to this XP loss in PvP, few who are new to the server can stand the frustration and leave.
I was in Unrest(griefer central) and there had to be a dozen clothed corpses all over and lots that were several days old. I could only assume they were abandoned as the players had been griefed off the server.
XP loss is a ridiculous cost for losing in PvP and does nothing but encourage griefing and corpse campers and discourages staying.
