AR is here and has brought with it many brave adventurers who seek to make their mark on the world around them. The Age of Reckoning is at hand and the gods of Order and Destruction summon you to their call!

Great rewards await those who take up their charge and help to bolster their army's strengths where it's needed the most.

We are pleased to introduce Realm Population Bonuses. These bonuses are temporary boosts to help new players get into the game and strengthen their allies’ efforts on servers where their realm struggles to keep up with the growing armies of their enemy.

For one week, these chosen servers will bestow divine gifts upon the designated realm to help swell their ranks and give them the power to try and turn the tides of battle. Players who join the vanguard will receive a 20% bonus to renown and experience!

Does anyone know if my CE book EXP Bonus item will stack with this?

But, but, but...there's only a 1.1:1 ratio on our server. I know that cause Destro told me so!

Why the rush?

I just want to max out one character so he's maxed out and I never know when my time will be in short supply, like you know, when the november game rush hits.

The xp bonus is funky. As far as I can tell it only works on kills, and not quest rewards/end of scenario bonuses.

It works for kills in a scenario though. If you notice, when you kill something in a scenario, not all of it gets added to the scoring screen. For example, if you solo a level 40 that hasn't been killed yet in a scenario, you'll never around 7k exp (at level 32), whereas on the score screen you only get about 1,000. Anyway, point being, I was getting more per kill than before.

You get more per kill, yes, I was just disappointed that it doesn't work on quest turnins, like the "play scenario" or "kill X players" ones I was doing at the same time.

I agree. Quest turn-ins should be effected.

Sloppy sloppy sloppy.  A plus to xp should be universal... there's no excuse for this. 

Logged on last night to play my RP on Ulthuan. Queues took forever to pop, so I logged.  Looks like the bonus is working to attract people, but may have a negative impact on my playtime.  My typical playstyle is to play in open rvr while waiting for scenarios to pop.  Noone in the open areas + long pop time is a bummer.

There was a bug last night preventing folks form getting into scenarios (at least there was for me).
