I don't think they have to do anything, BUT if they were to do something like you are suggesting a Free Key to everyone who has ever purchased Zen would be sweet.
For those of you who have not purchased or put any money towards the game, well honestly you shouldn't get a dang thing!

Shut down server for exploit that caused massive inflation.
Community demands free Zen/AD that will cause massive inflation.
Priceless.

Wonder where exploiters come from? How do the rationalize it? The mentality that every action needs a hand out or a freebie. Over the top measurements of self importance.
le5t's be realistic, nothing on the list would be given... so, 1 adventurer's helper pack (that's 1 per 12 hours of downtime, so if it's over 12, but under 24, 2 packs.)
still only claimable for 1 char per pack, so if you had 1 to claim, only 1 char could get, and if you had 2, ether 1 char gets 2, or 2 chars get 1.
I would think they need less servers not more (this does not count the test servers, wich 1 of the current NW servers should be labled the test server, like STO has a test server... not sure on CO) but the test server should be CLEARLY MARKED, and every toon from all servers be transfered to the live server, then anyone wanting to add a "copy" of a toon to test server be able to.
edit to add: thinking "oh but adding another server in the SAME server box as the other 3 servers, that... ALLL GO DOWN, if only 1 of them crash already, wouldn't meen the 4th server will go down AT THE SAME TIME AS ALL SERVERS GO DOWN EVERY LAST BLASTED TIME ANY SERVER DROPS!!!!"
well thinking 1 more server based on that thinking is a good idea is simply...well*smiles* I'm not trying to troll so I'll just stop before it turns out like that.
1) A cat mount for everyone!
2) Actually renaming AD to cats, and devaluate it so 10000 AD = one cat. Having to pay too many cats for somethng would be silly.
3) Cat based vanity item, like cat ears.
4) Make the nest top tier boss based on nyancat.
5) Rename sunday to caturday in game in memory of today.
6) Title for all current accounts: "Cat-astrophe Survivor"
If they do anything, I do not want double XP.
The game has so much level-capped content that you would end up missing out on a lot of it due to the accellerated levelling.
By the time you get a character into the parts of Blacklake where Hazel the Alchemist is you would already be beyond any of the missions there.
Heck, to me that would be the best "reward"... Fix the instanced content to scale with level and introduce end-game "epic" versions of the different Skirmishes (and dungeons, i fthey don't already do that).
That way if I wanted to do Foundry missions and PvP until I hit the cap I could do so and not miss out on the story content. The open world stuff would be kind of simple in lower level zones, but at least I could do it.
To me, that is better than any "reward". Just let them work to make the game better and better.
But if a "special" reward must be given, then no need to stray too far from the standard; A special pet or companion, or some sort of limited social wear. Like a t-shirt that says "I survived the market crash of '13" or something. :cool:
Trust me...it will not be anything "epic" or that will even make your in game life easier. I have played many of the PWI F2P games and their "we are sorry..." girts are never anything great. Will most likely be something like potions, or possibly an exp item that many people who are lvl 60 already cannot even utilize. But, it does distract many of the server population who are like a toddler throwing a fit - give 'em a lollipop and they shut up for a bit; meanwhile nothing is really fixed and they didnt get anything of real value for their inconvenience.
something you can wear in the costume section ..... or... a pet!

Since we lose 7 hours the pack should contain at least these 7 items.
7x Celestial Coins
7x Ardent Coins
1x "I Survived the AD Exploit 2013" Shirt for your current level (very Rare quality)
7x 1 hour Double XP potion or a Level 7 enhancement for level 60 players
1x Respec token
1x crafting Hireling for your current profession
1x Cat (so everybody has one)

While I started this thread before they announced that they would be giving us a gift package the thread is still relevant to discuss the contents of that package. I would still like to see free zen as part of that pack, though that brings up the question of how the pack should be distributed. If every character gets a pack then people that made extra characters for no real reason would get more zen so it probably should be distributed on a per account basis whatever the prize is. Otherwise we should all be out there making unnecessary characters just to get more gift packs.

That is a classy T, homie.

I really like this idea.

*eyeroll*, Cryptic's other games...
CO = 1 server
STO = 1 server
now NW?
NW = 3 current servers
I would think they need less servers not more (this does not count the test servers, wich 1 of the current NW servers should be labled the test server, like STO has a test server... not sure on CO) but the test server should be CLEARLY MARKED, and every toon from all servers be transfered to the live server, then anyone wanting to add a "copy" of a toon to test server be able to.

Alternatively, they can just give us a full set of all the celestial coin items as part of the special package.
