When the double exp weekends were going on in september, everyone seemed to enjoy them. I think double exp weekends should come back, and be permanent. It will also get more ppl playing for longer too.
What do you think, vote yes or no for double exp weekends

    I don't think permanent would be a good idea. Maybe once a month or every two month, but not EVERY weekend.

    even so, i dont think double exp weekends should be permanent. they're meant to be a treat, a bonus. if you think about it, the addition of bounty hunter has already helped tremendously. combine that with crazy stone, world quest, cube of fate, rebirth, it's actually not that hard to level if you really want to. permanent double exp weekend would really put it over the top in my opinion.

    I don't think it should be permanent. Is my opinion more valid than hers because of levels? b:lipcurl

    If they were permanent it wouldn't be anything special. It would be "Oh, I don't have to actually work on this weekend because I always have next weekend to grind...and the weekend after that...and the weekend after that..." until the end of time. I think it should be a more common event on the game (it doesn't cost any money or time coding to do, and is an enjoyable easy event for players), but not common enough to be permanent.

    At most one every one or two months. Once a month is really pushing it though.

    Edit: I chose not to vote in the poll because of the 'permanent' stipulation to your "bring them back" thread.

    you may be right about the double exp weekend loosing its status as a special thing by becoming permanent, but who says it needs to be a special thing, i think it should just be part of the game. Double exp on all weekends becomes a normal part of gameplay, not a special ad on

    I say no to 2x exp. A previous mmo puts these out constantly along with exp scrolls that not only stack with the event, they stack with themselves giving you 6x exp. Everyone is max level now so it does not mean anything.
    I am a barb that does not powerlevel, nor cash shop. I may not be the highest level, nor have the best gear. However unlike others, I know how to play.b:pleased

    wll then the mmo that stacked multiple times was run by idiots. what im saying is the weekends come back, and they stack once with estorica for 4% exp, which in pw isnt that much. i get maybe 5% exp from grinding per lv, and it takes me like 10 days to lv

    But why weekend? It should be tuesdays and Wednesday if you ask me. I am too busy on weekends to take advantage of the double exp.

    i think levelling is easy enough as is. we have bounty hunter, crazy stone, world quest, cube of fate, rebirth, oracles...and the list goes on. i think more double exp, and especially permanent double exp is overkill, and just kills whatever gameplay is left in PWI.

    Maybe. They'd probably just say "we were planning it anyway" like GMs usually do.

    You have 81%, sure...out of 22 people. That is a speck of dust in a universe of players...try thinking through the numbers before making assumptions that "Everyone must love double exp weekends," because many of those people could be thinking about leveling an alt or something like that, not even worrying about their main. This, in turn doesn't actually make PWE money, so would make your poll worthless to them.

    P.S.~ If this post makes no sense, it's cause I have had 10 hours of sleep over that last 3 days, and I am preparing to go to work today after not having slept since 3 hours from 7pm to 10pm yesterday...YAY ME!!!
