it takes awhile for pop to snowball.. exp bonus helped get and retain new players A LOT. we don't have the population or influx of ppl to keep everyone spread out under 50 and still playing.
also if you brought back the bonus with some kind of incentive to group as well, that be even better. 10% flat rate bonus, +8% per group member, sounds good to me (it is currently set to 2%, yes? think it could use a bump). This would mean a full group gets +50% exp, whereas a full group with the old +75% flat rate would get +85% exp. So we have less of an exp bonus overall, and at the same time support grouping instead of soloing.
on sullon, where there was exp loss on pvp death, there was a 20% permanent exp bonus to help compensate. and p99 exp is already slower than live was.
if we had no exp loss on pvp death, then maybe no bonus could be tolerable, but right now i am afraid to pvp on my SK and lose.. now i don't even know what it would be.. 4 hours worth of grind?
