REMINDER: EXP Boost for all, Dec. 3 - Dec. 9

edited December 2008 in General Discussion
Great News - Thanks to a strong second effort from our loyal members that comprise the PWI community we are tickled pink to announce that we have met our MySpace goal of 6000 friends! In fact the response this past week was so strong that we currently sit at 6328 friends and look forward meeting many more of our players as our MySpace Community continues to grow.

Now for the reward details. As promised we will activate a EXP bonus for all servers for a 1 week duration. Specifically this bonus is a 50% EXP boost that will make leveling much faster and easier for all who choose to play during this period. This bonus EXP week will start on December 3rd, immediately after routine server maintenance at around 1 a.m. and will end on December 9th, just prior to the next scheduled maintenance at around 11 p.m.

For those of you wondering - "why select this specific week?" Let me start by saying that the week of December 3rd was chosen for a reason. Without spilling the beans entirely - there will be a very specific reason why you will want to be playing that week and having the EXP boost in tandem will be a huge complement to your gameplay.

Thank you again to everyone who participated and for the dozens of you who helped rally the troops inside and outside of our game to help us all achieve our initial goal. Watching our MySpace Community grow and develop on its own into an organic social network was both a surprise and a treat for all involved.

Please continue visiting our MySpace Community at:

http://www.myspace.com/perfectworldinternational

and please add us a friend if you haven't already done so.

Happy leveling and enjoy the EXP bonus (Dec. 3 - Dec. 9)!

note: EXP Scrolls will NOT work during this EXP bonus week. Activating them will have no effect.

    Our recent promotional event:

    http://www.perfectworld.com/event/myspace/

    has just been extended! From NOW through November 17th (Monday) our goal is to gather 6000+ friends on our MySpace Page. If this target is achieved by 6 p.m. PST on November 17 we will buff each server with a 1.5x EXP bonus for a one week duration from Nov. 18 - Nov. 24.

    Be sure to add us as a friend on our MySpace Page at:

    http://www.myspace.com/perfectworldinternational

    Tell your friends, and your friends-friends to join the crew as well! Fat leveling boost to come for all once we hit that magical 6000 friend count. ;)
    The date was changed? That kinda sucks... I was looking forward to it tomorrow.

    So is this EXP only or does it include SP as well?
    If its EXP only, then I think the servers will end up with leveled people who are missing skills, with some classes that are short on SP not performing nearly as well as they can at the same level.

    Exp event has nothing to do with SP. BTW at ur lvl You should only be doing quests.
    This event only truly benefits 40+ and for me a GREAT ammount with my exp scrolls. TYTYTY PWI XD

    My guess is that they are adding the experience bonus the same week as the expansion release because that's when they are going to increase the level cap.

    Grinding really kicks in at 50+, but partying in fbs is enough and still faster than grinding if you know where to stalk b:pleased.
    60+ is when grinding takes over since theres the justice envoy quest that helps things along when soloing and theres zhen parties for the rich or aoe parties for the poor.

    ->Clerics and Wizards
    A SP boost would help a lot.

    Hoping for GM reply.

    PS: The only avatar that I am able to choose is this one for some reason or another, so I'm stuck with the level 1 pic.

    Everybodys getting wild 'cause of the EXP bonus... c'mon people, it's not even that much!

    So we have 1.5x EXP bonus from december 3th to 9th and I'm not complaining even though It's not christmas yet.. (holiday = more time to play)

    ... 'kay people don't laugh.. I'm just playing because I'm bored I DO HAVE A LIFE lol.

    How many hours do you think it will take to reach lvl 60? (I'm now lvl 40 as you see) and I'm talking about grinding ALONE.

    Also if you have some good places in mind for grinding, please let me know :)

    oh, and one more thing: I can't buy charms or anything from the cash shop!!!

    thank God I'm in Heavens Tear so no one can PK me :p

    To College Students in the US, that week is considered "Dead Week" ><. Why don't you guys do it just a week before, or a week after? Have to be right on the expansion release date?

    Anyways, I'll try my best to up 100 ^^. (J/K that will be 6 months after the event, al least ^^). 90 is my gold.
    Why...so...serious?

    O.o Dang, I gotta level!

    Word to the wise: Doing a two week FFXI trial a couple weeks before the expansion, and deciding to grind at level 33 are both bad ideas >.<
