      A double XP event would be great....in about 3 weeks.

      From Aug.15 -29 would be great. I am solo for a week and can get some good gaming in.

      Exp events aren't a good thing. I've been in an mmo where they had so many, being max level is no longer a big thing, most of the playerbase hit it where it used to take even longer to max on that game than it does on this game.

      Socrates said that he learnt the maxim gnothi seauton, meaning 'know thyself' at Delphi where it was inscribed, together with 'everything in moderation', over the entrance to the ancient temple of Apollo.

      one every few months doesnt kill people, party pooper.

      @Zoe
      You're mid 9x, you should know that you need lots of xp per level.
      Nobody is hitting level cap anytime soon, even with xp events.

      I like the idea, as long as it's not overdone.

      I remember this event too. It was so nice >.< . 1.5xp and spirit rate (as if you were on a training eso all day long). People were zooming through levels. It was for about a week and the reason behind the event? Because PWI got 1000 friends or something on myspace. Do facebook now! I'll friend ya b:cute
      b:bye you were all swell peoples

      Oh yeah! Didn't we not hit the goal to get double exp, so we got 1.5x instead? I know people that created myspaces just to friend PW for the exp.

      we need something like, some kind of goal that lets us earn another. itd make life so much easier. if only some of you knew what leveling like this was like, and it gets worse, my 95 friend gets 1.5% an hour on esotericas, im lucky to get even 2 >.>... i feel sorry for the 96+'ers who dont get to delta

      The event was first set to 6k friends, and failed for that 1k friends. Then, on top of that, PWE decided to "please" the players with a "training esoterica sale" (to bring te feeling of the failed event <.<), but instead a major QQ happened.

      What did actually "force" PWE to "extend" the friend listing event, is beyond me (as I wouldn't believe that such "minor" QQ (well, for today's standards, it was minor <.<) would have influenced PWE to actually make the event happen), but in the end, we got the 1k missing friends in 1 week, and so we got the 150% XP week at work...

      IMO, I doubt they will repeat it anytime soon, just to avoid the drama for their own sake <.< or prevent to make the same mistake twice...

      Simple, don't play that day then if you don't like extra exp and it taking a little less time to level. At level 90 I can assure you even a 24 hours exp event wouldn't level them.

      on the game i played before coming here, [removed], they did that once a month at least. but it was always really hard to level in that game, even when you were a lowbie, so it was vital to us to work our heads off on those weekends

      If they started doing exp events, they should keep them spaced far apart - like 2-3 a year tops.

      thats how it was in my other MMO, they had a chrismas one, yearly anniversary one, and rarely if they 'effed' the servers up, one for a day or two. we got a bonus one for winning #1 MMO on some website too, but that was about it :P

      My old game seriously had at least a week of increased exp.

      Of course, before that the servers had been down for months, so. They had a lot to make up for.

      Double exp are no fun and no good. better organize a different event (like some kind of invasion of mobs that drop gems from grade 1 to 7-8 or w/e items that are not dropped by any mobs) which would last like a day. on PvP servers this would cause massive PvP fights, which is very fun.

      Seriously I miss the lack of events in this game, all events here are like new stuff in boutique tbh :p

      I came from a game that used to do the rarely - but then came up with the great idea of holding exp events every time they screwed up and the servers went down.

      By the time I quit we were having exp events every other day, it seemed like.

      maybe on a server where bots, and JOJ abusers ran/run rampant. imagine the fights over leveling spots you can have if everyone wants to use an exp event to its best they can.

      I just hate that the events are usually based on graphics, or stuff I'm not so great at. Would be cool if there was something in game like the wraith events but a little different. One game I played they would teleport everyone into a secret dungeon and then have a kill fest of "wraiths". Then at the end we'd each get a 7 day boutique item. Usually something new they were going to come out with. Or in that game there was a certain thing that was very rare that dropped from the creatures. If you were lucky you got one once a week or every 2 weeks. They sometimes gave those too.

      Yeah but exp scrolls are so cheap that people wont even care to buy a stack of 10, so if that exp event would come so many poor noobs would come and KS.

      And yes in a PvP server it might be really fun..id PK at grinding spots all day till the event is gone heheh

      But wouldnt an invasion or w/e be more fun? with like some super huge bossses and some elites and all the minions..? you cant imagine how ppl would kill eachother for those g8-g9 shards from the boss =P

      no it wouldnt be fun, because it doesnt make my hard leveling any easier. and an invasion would only make rich/high levels even richer.
