    I am considering taking a vacation day on Friday the 20th in order to take full advantage of the double xp weekend.

    Does anyone know when the double xp will start? Midnight on the 20th? Or 8AM on the 20th?

    If the double xp does not start until noon or later, it is not worth taking off work.

    Thanks for your time,

    Good question (not trying to hijack your thread OP) will EXP bonus stack with other effects? Server Bonus?
    Zone Bonus ?
    In game effects Potions? LotD?

    Oh and does anyone know if ZEMS stil exist?

    Keep in mind lesson and highest potions are just +100% and double exp is another +100% so if you have both you should be at 3x and not 4x (so it isn't double double), low AA (like if you're at 0) being 10x or what not also does not double, you would just go to 11x.


    For start time it's probably at midnight on the 20th, sometimes they start it the night before though so it could be even earlier.

    Where is the Dbl EXP weekend announced? I'm looked in the News and Announcements but nothing is listed there unless I'm blind.

    BAH, I'm blind. It was further down on the announcement I looked at.

    Yes, the last few times double exp has kicked in at midnight Friday (i.e. the start of Friday), PST. Right now it doesn't yet seem to have started on any server (almost ten hours later).

    We usually message a little differently, there was some confusion this time.
