The experience awards for realm vs. realm combat have been increased for the standard servers. Players will now be awarded 8 times more experience than they were previously awarded for killing enemy players in the frontiers.
This *might* make lvling artifacts possible in the fontiers.
I think the aim is to get people to RvR more and sooner (sub-level 50) and that you can level your character while doing RvR. Great idea.
There was a 47 healer I used to group with alot on MLF. He quit leveling after 46 and it took him 1.5 million RPs before he had enough XP to ding. I think even making it 8x higher won't be enough to get people out of AC.
I think it was probably done, like sidd said, to make leveling artifacts a little easier.
It won't be as efficient as a good group in AC, but it's just one more way to gain experience without having to grind every point.

Oh, and it can't be for both reasons? You guys are stupid. =P
