Agreed, its sad that "big numbers" mean so much to players nowadays, people are deluded into thinking leveling faster = more casual gaming, when in truth you may spend the same amount of time getting lvl150-200 on hr as lvl35-40 on a Lr, with the same perks and privileges.
slower leveling = more balanced pve encounters and pvp ( more fun too)
But.. if your hosting it, and fall out with them for what ever reason, what happens then? their files are tied to your dedi, they cant move elsewhere.
what happens when your dedi time runs out?
Im all for low rate servers, but as suggested x2 exp is unlikely to attract many players from the private community, unless you can get lots of people from USA playing then you will be fighting an uphill battle.
All the best with the server
