I just want an exp bonus to level my alts quicker!

It's easy to find groups outside of dungeons. If you say you have little trouble finding groups inside of dungeons then you're lying to prove your point or you have a ton more friends in Everquest that are all around the same level.

I am fully aware there are exp bonuses in dungeons. My argument is it needs to be even greater on a server like this to encourage dungeon crawls.

This is a great emulation of a classic server, and I love it. The fact still remains that there weren't an average of 250 people on the server during the day and an average of 575 people at night. It was more like 1500 during the day and 2750 at night on a normal server. Frankly Norrath is too big for just 500 people, and Velious only makes things larger.

Btw "Smart-guy" Hitchens this one's for you.

A few plat coins and some gear is the best help you can give to beginners. With those they can level must faster than with an exp bonus.

My comments on what has been said before:

* Experience bonuses were not unheard of on classic.

* I don't think it is a terrible idea and it won't ruin EQ to have these now and then.

* On the other hand, I don't think a week long experience bonus is going to be a real factor in whether or not someone from EQMac decides to come here or not.

IMO, bottom line, it probably doesn't really matter either way.

playing a rogue its impossible to find groups. I typically message people and sit LFG for 2-3 hours before logging out.

Sounds exactly like classic EQ. There were plenty of times back in 1999-2001 where I would sit LFG for an hour or more before logging off to go play an alt. I had to stick to the absolute most popular zones as a Rogue and that only had mild success.
