Exp Bonus: Not classic, potentially a slippery slope case, but I think enough dissent has been shown to keep any other exp bonus periods to a minimum. I think I'd prefer no bonus, but as we have it I'm just going to take it as the fun little change it's intended to be. It also will help me sucker my partner into playing, muahaha.
OOC: Again, not classic and I'll admit that I was disappointed to see it when I first logged on. However, rather than being elitist and potentially alienating newer/less hardcore gamers when we do not have a surplus of players, I think it would be far better to use more traditional methods of communication (/who + tell, shouts, EC tunnel auctions, etc) ALONGSIDE ooc rather than insisting the old ways won't work until ooc is gone. Some people don't want to be old school with the communication, and we aren't going to convince them otherwise. Far better to talk how we would like to and in doing so create a community with players who ARE interested in more personal communication. You'll probably need to keep ooc on to be kept abreast of some things, but it was the same back in the day when you would have the same number of people in the game world now all in a single zone!
Little will be accomplished trying to convince people they are "playing the game wrong." All we can do is play it how we want to and find who we want to play with that way.
BTW, yay for P1999!
