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.

Yeah... And they leveled up during the 75% exp bonus. That's exactly what we want.

and they joined the server together and played as a group the entire time with high lvl Druid and cleric power level.

Agreed they are an example of coming with friends and actually making it, but point is the nature of the low pop pvp server deters new population that doesn't have already established pals.

Was there an actual reason for the exp rate change + was this in any of the patch notes?

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.

Scaling bonus is absolutely in. I get two blues quadding in 35 as a wizard. No way that happens on blue with only 25% bonus.

Well I still get close to that in mid 40's. I get 2% per kill.

God your tears are delicious random jealous person. I can clarify here. Gream wandered into our TS from another channel and started talking to a few of us about red after a raid one night. He seemed like a cool guy and asked what classes we needed and a few people offered to help him level up, and helped him with gear. Now he's one of our regulars members.

It's kind of like pretty woman only for EQ, and now gream is our prostitute!

I was going somewhere with this but I forget, in any case <3 Gream

The 75% exp bonus was meant to be temporary. It was accidentally left in for as long as it was.

God forbid anyone have to level at a sub-standard 25% exp bonus ;-(

I really don't see any reason not to leave in the XP bonus. The red server peaks at 150 players now, anything that would attract more (and helps them level to actual PVP at 45+) seems like a good idea. If it was peaking at 300-400 that would be a different story. I would say leveling on Red with xp on pvp death and 25% bonus is harder than on blue with more groups and no bonus.
