Most effective thing that can happen is a substantial XP increase.

There is a huge increase in solo XP rates, my shammy is flying through 20's

No there isn't. The xp rate is something like 1 + ((50 - level) x 2)/100) x (Classic EXP Value) [Basically, from 198% from level 1, to 102% at level 49]

What this server needs:
Wipe.
Hot Zones.
Once a month, Double EXP Weekends.
Classic for 3 months then Kunark.

already happened, despite the existing scaleing xp bonus , rogean had a +50 percent bonus and you claimed you did not even notice/could not notice it.

More then double xp was not enough for you, then a classic experience is not for you.

Also, wipe is never gonna happen so no need to discuss that.

Kunark wil cure all. Stuff for low levels, stuff for mid levels, stuff for top teir raiding guild (kunark bosses), stuff for mid and lower tier raiding guilds (old world planes/dragons)

My ogre sk doesn't notice an xp increase. Yes there's an xp penalty but it's still too slow. It's hardly "huge".

I'll say it again: Most effective thing that can happen is a substantial XP increase. You want more players? Increase xp so people don't have to suffer the grind, and maybe they will come.

its already been tried, huge xp bonus late last year, another one a bit after that, then yet more around the sky patch, then Rogean logged on and did the +50 percent bonus thing...

It never effected pop.

ever

XP is not the key. Content is the King.

p.s. if you are worried about slow xp, dont roll a large race SK.

To be honest nothing is going to affect pop that much. People don't want to play classic pvp. People barely want to play LoZ.

Content isn't the answer. It will help but it won't bring that many long-term players. The server just won't have anywhere near blue's population. We just need to learn to play with low pop.

(I'm also dead set against the hybrid XP penalty. Always was. Sony - or was it Verant - wised up and removed it but we're stuck with it here. Not everything classic was ideal.)

No one wants another EZ server...Red99 is the way it is for a reason.

You got to actually put in some effort and cannot reroll your character just to run away from a bad reputation.

I notice that XP is WAAAAY faster than back in the day on rallos zek. I would say any further permanent boost will be too much.

Let's all listen to Supreme, the guy who takes a video game so seriously he resorts to posting someones real life name and address in game to take out his frustration over pixels. Never saw someone rage quit a game so hard in my entire life. You should seek professional help.
