    As I say, thank you for the bonus so weekend. Really good and all.

    However, some of us work in emergency services, or retail, or on support and don't get chance to play at weekends as we're on call or duty or whatever.

    I don't suppose there's a way that you could do some sort of claim to get the bonus xp as a pot or something sometime to reward us too?

    Not a complaint at all, just a polite request.

    Ta!

    Requests like this have been around for well over a decade on the few games I play but never seen a trial solution. Probably hard to code and it would need to be restricted. Maybe if it's a two day XP event the account can choose when to activate it for those two days, but you could not have more than one.

    Maybe even the use of the vitality bar. So much of vitality is filled so that if you play you are rewarded with the exp. Maybe exp bonus are live for everyone but a set decent rate of vitality is added to all characters that are paying customers.
    I have always thought loyalty points should be claimed for vitality. Boosting experience gain for those that are loyal would help and be beneficial for someone like me that has grown and gained a family with less time to play. Like a vitality potion.

    People would simply save it for expansion launches... which is the time they don't want it used.

    Seems like a pretty simple thing to put a time limit on.

    I guess the easiest way to implement it would be to give everyone an XP potion that would be valid for 7 or 10 days.

    Every time an inch is given, you can be certain that Forum-Quest posts will pop up with numerous people brainstorming ways to stretch it into a mile.

    Sup pot?

    Not about an inch being given and taking a mile, just asking for that inch maybe to be given fairly to the guys and gals who give up their weekends to serve those of you lucky enough to work mon-fri. Maybe just once in a while give a tues-fri bonus?

    I'm all for this. I'd love to see the the Mon-Fri majority go "REEEEEEEE" and throw their tantrums. Forum-Quest tears give me sustenance.

    Sure, just ignore us retired persons. Just once would be nice to see a Mon - Sun bonus.

    So you work 48 hours straight then? I work weekends as well but I still have plenty of time to enjoy the bonus exp.

    Why not just run the bonus for a week?

    There will be another bonus EXP weekend for Labor day weekend too :p

    I think the potions would work nicely for the downtime if you are "not" max aa.... For me, and I know a major group of the EQ community - We'd prefer the compensation for the days lost to Patches, Down time and such - Because Days played are more important than the XP award... They shouldve awarded 2 days free play for all accounts, which is 100% fair for their patch screw ups... XP is not a reward to those who dont need xp.

    all accounts, even those that aren't subbed? They don't deserve it.

    The beatings will continue until morale improves.

    They really should just give everyone a few 50% bonus exp potions during these bonus periods so they can use them whenever they want. When people log in, it pops up to claim until the bonus period ends.
  19. Monkman Augur

    Be happy you get anything at all. Double exp isn’t a reward for most of us who’ve been playing all expansion.

    If you’re going to compensate folks at all please vary the rewards.

    With the new glyph prices I beg to differ!
