Middle of the day, a single player on EU5...
Can't believe there aren't players who retired recently. Maybe this server should get even higher bonus to make it more attractive to lowbies. Better for lowbies to stay there and play against each other than to be useless on battle or siege FFA servers.
After all, those 600k XP (or 900k XP) are between 7 and 12 percent of XP needed to retire. No matter how fast players go through first 600k, it won't affect much overall length of retirement process.
