What addons do you have installed?

Would the Valkyrie team entertain the idea of customizing some of the respawn timers for epic quests such as the hunter demon leaf quest? This particular quest requires open world mobs to be killed, each with something like 3 hour respawns but a high grief factor (one person can reset the mob). On a normal vanilla server, with a normal vanilla population, this is not an issue. On a server like nost, with 10k+ players on a single population, this quest becomes complete aids (and arguably, not blizzlike). For some context, here is a 500+ page thread from Nost regarding the issue: https://forum.nostalrius.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=16819 I'll post this on the AMA sunday but just curious if the team is considering tweaking some of these type of respawn timers to deal with the increased population.

An alternative to a straight 7x Exp event is I think what they did on Nost -- increase the rested XP generation rate, and extend rested XP to 4 levels instead of 2. So, allow players, when camped out of the game, to generate rested experience twice as fast as normal, and allow rested experience to build up for a total of 4 levels, instead of 2. This will encourage not only new players, but also will get some current players more interested in leveling alts, which will help increase the 1-50 population.

An Exp event, one that is properly advertised in advance, is a great idea to bring players here. Now that pathfinding and other major bugs are fixed, you need SOMETHING to bring players back. No one is going to come back on their own. An Exp event, coupled with some marketing about all of the latest bug fixes and stability issues, would help bring new players. Elysium is more stable and bug-free than Kronos 2 but to gain players back you have to do some kind of event, exp event makes the most sense. Just make sure it is heavily advertised along with the improvements to the server.

its currently like 50/50 so dont worry about it
