i was getting 1% solo xp per bat and wasp at lvl 3-4 last night. too much effort to ask blues to switch over to red when the server is low and we have to level up another character in empty zones.

There is permanent xp bonus already. The bonus Nilbog is putting in next week is above and byond that.

Your problem is you are still killing bats and wasps at lvl 4? Its a common "bug" or (not bug) that at the very low levels you need to kill things that are even to you or at the most one level lower, otherwise you run into a big xp nerf like when you are fighting light blue mobs. You are so low level, your xp is like you are fighting light blue mobs but the mob still shows up as dark blue.

At your level the xp is currently double. Make a new charcter and get to level 2, count how many mobs it took you to do it. Do the same thing on blue99 and you will see it took twice as many mobs to do it.

tl;dr: Fight things as close to your level as possible for the first few levels. Also ask in /ooc for buffs and maybe a starter weapon or two to make this trivial.

And correct me if im wrong but, I seriously doubt people even on blue group for the first few levels either. Its a solo game the first few levels (usually).
