Memorial Day XP bonus and such?

I saw some gen chat fodder before scrambling to get out the door and head to work implying xp bonus is in effect (ty btw). Anything else by chance? Oh, I didn’t see announcement and didn’t think to check the calendar. Long live EQ and bonus holiday weekends.

YES!!!!! For those not at computer the in game calendar shows that starting May 24 at 0100 AM to May 29 12:59 AM you'll see additional experience, additional faction, and more rare monsters during Memorial Day Weekend.

This is great. Ty for sharing.

Marketplace looks like items are getting a 24% discount as well, I guess for the 24th? For all access members.

I guess max KOS in VP wasn't enough for daybreak now they go and add double faction!!!!

/sarcasm off

Anyone know what the exp bonus is? 50%? I remember years ago them doing double exp. I'm just returning to the game.

Hmm, I wonder if the system would be able to handle doing half negative faction and double positive faction ?

Fiddy. They’ve made the announcement now. https://www.everquest.com/news/eq-bonus-and-sale-weekend-may-2018

EQ2 players got a free heroic

so how come the real EQ didn't....I could use another H-toon

Bit weird, I agree, on why EQ players dont get heroic char as well.

Thanks for the bonus stuff for the holiday weekend!

On another note... that is kindof lame we didn't get a free Heroic like EQ2. Maybe it needs an influx or incentive to play again/something new more than EQ. What is kindof annoying -as a side note- is that EQ2 heroic characters have received multiple upgrades since their implementation to keep up with continually increasing level caps while EQ... nothing. That's what kindof gets me even though it has been requested for a while.

Now you can get DOUBLE KOS! This will entail getting an unavoidable DT upon zoning into VP.

Weird, it is showing up as 24% for me. Have an item that is usually 400, showing after discount of 96, it is 304.

A free heroic would have been nice .

Looks like they fixed the 25% now.

Agree, wonder why we didn't get one.

15% isn't 25%, You already give 10% off Marketplace items for all access members. Why are you taking that 10% away from members during holiday bonus times?

The discount has been raised to 25% instead of 10% for members, so it's a bigger discount. I just verified this in-game, and it appears to be working correctly.

You not reading right. It says the discount will be 25%, not an additional 25%.

It says they are giving 25% for the holiday weekend.
