There should be no group bonus, fully agreed on that. It'll be hard enough soloing, so let the xp be a global bonus.
Lots of good points on xp on both sides. Super-fast xp would add a hecticness to the feel of the server, for better or for worse. Changing zones faster, climbing faster, resetting easier (even if the result is the same), etc. I don't know if the admins have an interest in such a server, since it would definitely be a different beast if you could level to 50 in a few days (isn't this classic-only?)
Its kinda elementary since roaming bands will cleanse the land before long. Theres a couple of group comps that are virtually impossible to defend against if the level difference is high enough, let alone the threat of a solo 50 Druid. I don't foresee anything but genocidal efforts by many, so there's definitely a solid argument for pushing off the day that happens.
Maybe if the xp bonus dropped significantly in the 30s and 40s, but dunno how hard it would be to mod that for a throwaway server. It might help things if 1-30 were fairly easy, and it got progressively harder from there. Completely different server in that case tho.
