Wink Please give solo exp bonus -- low pop AND awkward timezones..

At 56 i'm quad kiting and getting 1% exp per kill. Can't group because there's no such thing as 55+ groups, especially in my timezone. To pvp with people, I'd have to quad ~500 more times (if it takes twice as many for 59). And that won't even secure me 60, just get me there. I try hard to find groups, but they really don't exist. IF i'm going for the solo grind, at least make it enjoyable:

We've all experienced the content now, and no one from blue will ever come here if they have to restart with minimal exp. Group bonus? Fantastic -- how often have you guys had full groups lately? Well, never past 45, really.

I can keep rolling alts and MAYBE get a group, but 50+ when you actually NEED the groups, they can't be found.

Especially the Euro/Asia pop (I'm Taiwan), where I can /who all and actually see a #..

Please prioritize pvp/content over grinding. Cheers.

See, thats the sort of behavior you can expect at end game

Do what most sane people have done here and quit the server

The problematic youve been outlining has been explained to devs on forums in and out when the server was lower pop before velious and they never acted on it.

That was years ago.

Group with other guild members.

Can't speak for Empire, but CS has guild xp groups every night in the 55-60 range.

Honestly, makes sense to do with such a low pop server. Why not give r99 another exp boost for solos and complement the grouping bonus?

Many of us have limited time to play games. New players without pals/support quickly get turned off when they realize they came to a PvP server and won't see much of it. If they want to pvp, they have to grind exp. If they want to be competitive in PvP, they have to camp items and cash. Both are incredible time sinks to PvP someone on a 16 year old box absent risk/reward.
