2) Lack of a global chat system. While this has been said many, many, many, many times before its something I'll repeat with my own reasons. As I type this there is currently around 70 players on the server. Of those 70 players 0 of them are on my friends list, 0 of them are in my zone, and 0 of them are in my guild. This leaves me with no one to even casually chat with at 2:30 am.

This is being discussed between Rogean, Nilbog and I. I make no promises but i will tell you there was active discussion of this yesterday. Believe me when I tell you that it's not going to be an unlimited free for all. If it becomes a headache for the staff we will just shut it down. This means you people have to act like humans NOT a bunch of bratty 3rd graders.

3) Exp. As much as you'd like to believe people came to this server and they want to enjoy the quest, the grind, the journey, or whatever you'd like to refer to it as... that is not the case. Everyone should be on this server for one reason and the majority of us are. We want PvP and we want lots of it. Want to "enjoy the game, and the grind"? Go to the blue server. You can PvE your heart out with a bigger player base and more options. WE WANT PVP.
I do not believe 10x experience is the solution. I do however believe an increase in experience is. There is a few ways to do this that I could see potentially working. Lower level experience needs to be boosted more. Pre 30 or 35 should be upped from the 100% it is at now to possibly 200-250%. This increase in the lower levels will help us get up to where the majority of the player base already is in a faster manner. This increase will also be huge for melee characters who already have a rough time earning experience alone due to the lack of population.
Getting us to level 30-35 is beneficial in quite a few ways. The first being that mid level pvp is arguably the best pvp. It will also put the newer players closer to the larger player base giving them more of an option on who to play with and what zones to go to.
It may encourage current/old/new players to roll a character here due to the easier leveling and make things like dieing/getting pked seem less forgiving.
I believe post 35 exp is currently fine. I Believe SOME effort needs to be put in if you expect to get to 50 with the rest of us and 35-50 will be just that. A PvP grind. The only difference is you'll have more players to group with and more to PvP with.
I'm not sure that this solution is something that is actually do able however, another solution I could potentially see is "hot zones". zones all through a certain level group that have a bigger exp bonus. Examples would be crushbone, unrest, oasis, permafrost, lguk. These hot zones would be great not only for the increased experience, but would also promote more low to mid level pvp due to the increase of population in said zones.
In the end the majority of us are here to PvP, not to grind out 50 levels again while getting pk raped. We want to have fun and in order to do that we need to have people to play with and talk to. The lower level exp boost, and the global chat will give us both of those things, further encouraging new players to join this server. This is just my 2cents and I really hope I can get non troll feedback on this. Thanks for reading and see you at 50!

in no particular order:
1 exp rate is already increased at lower levels. You have a 200% XP rate at level 1. at level 50 you have a 100% XP Rate. so there is already an xp boost, it's scaled.
2. There can be PVP at all levels. You don't have to only PVP at max level. This is not Call of Duty with EQ Characters.
fairly srue there are already Zone Experience modifiers but I'm not a dev. I can't swear to it.
