    I presume, as is usual, that these bonuses are for subscribing members only?

    Will the limited familiar drops be from mission rewards as they were in BoL? Thank you!

    Thank you Meeps and devs for the bonus. Double exp and/or status is always nice of couse. However, I am excited about the familiar drops and MP sales. Thanks! :)

    I do not understand much of this announcement (Personal status, Hunter's Coins, Vaulted Familiar, etc). Perhaps I am not the only one coming back to Norrath after a 10+ years break (thanks Tarinax). Please keep us in mind when you communicate to players, it might help us feeling more welcome into the game we love!
    PS: Does personal status mean faction status?

    Personal status is the same as it was ages ago. That hasn't changed. You can even get it in pretty much the same way as you could back in the day. Writs, heritage quests, selling certain drops, signature quests, etc.

    Vaulted generally means it's something that was retired from circulation (like Disney has been known to do with it's films).

    Familiar training potions do just that, help you 'train" aka level, your familiar.

    For information about familiars:

    For general purposes, when people talk about Familiars, we are talking about the second type, not the fluff spells for Wizards & Warlocks.

    Woot! This is awesome especially since I get to take advantage of all 3 different types of server events. I have characters on live, Kaladim, and Tarinax. This is much appreciated, especially the double hunter coins (I still need 8 more coins for my second piece). Also the familiar training drops are fantastic too (gotta level up those familiars) =).

    Can you please give us a clue as to where these drops will be coming from so we know what of the hundreds of things to do in game, to focus on more to benefit from this?
    Just overseers, etc....what?

    They drop from solo dailies, overland repeatable quests, and point of interest quests.

    What's the reason to spend money on outdated familiars?

    Maybe - but really only maybe - for optic if they are reduced to 20% ;)

    Do the Familiar xp items only drop from RoS missions, or do they also drop from missions in earlier expansions?

    New to all of this, so any help -- even if it seems like it would be obvious -- is much appreciated. Thanks!
