2-Week Double XP Launch Spree!

10:30 AM CDT

 

I personally think they should keep the XP gain at this level permanently, it makes the grind far less painful and far more rewarding without seeming over the top, to me at least. @DarkStarr

 

But then they'd lose the ability to do "Double XP" promotional events.

 

True though they could double the double

 

I wish you guys would switch to GMT / UTC and let everyone else figure it out by knowing their own timezone.

 

Grind is real in every decent MMO. Keep it as it is and offer it at special times during the year.

 

All hope is not lost. There is still a solution.

"QUADRUPLE XP" promotional events!

 

I guess that is "soon"

 

Nah - double the good loot drop rate instead

 

i wish there was a forum clock, that displayed Ports actual time. I could orientate on that.
I once asked in a telethon for that, but the answer was somthing like haha, you have a clock in the right corner of your computer...

 

I can't help but think there will be an obsidian potion of double exp in our future. Not sure how I'd feel about it but it'd be a money maker for sure.

 

Yes grind is real but some games handle it better than others...

 

Ah well, guess you'll just have to vote with your money.

 

It would be easier if the 2 week double xp is tied in to future monthly telethon or it's new name as an extra to the $80,000 goal. R/Boris/El Pirata

 

Oh yes, please post your own (Texas) winter/summer/daylight/darkness however time AND an international time like GMT/UTC

 

They should do double xp events every month right after every release @DarkStarr

 

@DarkStarr,
Daily Message reads:
2-Week Double XP Launch Spree ENDS TOMORROW!

Beside this: Why not until 12:00 midnight?
I think a lot of people expected to enjoy it for the last day after work

 

True. I even came home from work early today. Only because of that I could still use the last hour of this. I had planned for a full evening, though.

But it was nice while it lasted. Eventhough I have mixed feelings about it. During the past 2 weeks I could barely ever find someone to RP with me, because everyone was always busy grinding.

 

You guys really should keep this double XP running for another two weeks or so. At least for the accounts created in the past month or two considering you guys didn’t wipe on launch. It’s probably the least you could do for the newer players considering this is a grind heavy game. Also, if you would entertain the idea of extending, advertise it heavily to every player in your database (emails) and the sites you guys are present.

I understand that you guys announced that the game was going to stop wiping, but that information was only communicated to players in your database at the time being. Players like myself and my friends I’ve brought along had no communication with the game whatsoever, as we just started about a month ago. I’m sure the case is similar for all of the new players you’ve gained in the past month.

Skill level absolutely makes a difference in this game and there are people with an insane amount of GMs. How is it affecting me? It helps them in PvE to obtain wealth, it helps them in PvP, it helps them stay far ahead of newcomers entering the game. They begin to monopolize the economy. People can argue that this would get the high xp players even higher, which is true, but the gap isn’t as big when you get to a certain skill level.

Just my two cents.

 

I gotta admin, the 2x XP thing felt really good and really rewarding. But, after 2 weeks I relaized that ya, I spent 2 weeks grinding probably 50+ hours in the Rise. While that is depressing to me now, it was actually still really nice, I really feel like I achieved some good things on my char for the first time in a long long time. So looking back at it, I think they should keep it or at least make it a permanent 1.5x XP. Even at 2x XP, it would take me years to catch up to someone like Mac and the way they have this game designed, 2x XP just works and should be the standard (take into account the exponential negative nature of leveling up).

I actually played 5x more then I did before and with 2x XP ending (after that grind), I have no will to even play now knowing I have hours and hours of grinding to do.
