Default +50% experience bonus.

The additional +50% experience bonus for Kunark is still active.

I've been quite busy with real life, and figured it wouldn't hurt to leave it in longer.

Does it need to remain? Does it need to gtfo?

I'd rather see a higher pop and no bonus, but it would surely kill off a decent portion of the remaining players at this point.

nilbog please take a look at the people who voted against the bonus. Most no longer play the server and come here to troll from time to time.

Is this EXP bonus for both servers or just one of them?

I want to be a returning player but i'm hesitant due to time grind of leveling.

I will be starting over because I cannot remember my old account info.

I didn't think it was still active? At least it didn't seem like to me.

I voted to leave the bonus in, although I admit I have very little investment in this server and only log in once a month or so.

For my own enjoyment of the game I'd like no exp bonus, but as for what's best for the server, I think the bonus needs to stay. The majority of returning players came back for the exp bonus, and there are other players considering returning who are turned off by the idea that the exp bonus is going to go away. I think increased exp is sort of a manufactured need, but if a large number of people can't enjoy the server without it, it's best to leave it in. If the exp becomes too fast then people will be able to break rules and roll new characters with impunity, but a 50% bonus is hardly going to cause that to happen.

I'd also suggest that the exp penalty on death be removed, since it's pretty much been empirically proven that it doesn't deter bind rushing, that it wasn't needed in classic, and that it's an unnecessary annoyance for players who are already frustrated with slow exp.

i could tell it was active, got a tick per kill solo at 53, was nice. leave it in imo as i think removal will hurt the already shaken population.

Leave it in permanently, the grind is tough enough already, actually making 1-46 even easier would probably be a good idea, people will get addicted 2 box if they can get to 46+ and actually start having some fun in a short period of time.
