Thank you very much for the display feedback. That will be most helpful. At the risk of being shot, were you able to get the bonus XP extended through Monday (or padded to Tuesday AM as you had mentioned doing before)?
Dear Kristie, I was looking forward to enjoying the bonus xp weekend last weekend, got together with some friends and quested like crazy, went into a couple doungeons and all to try to get my main advanced in lvl, i used 2 xp potions because it seemed like xp was not realy going well. Now i find out that there was this mistake and that is why i didnt get any bonus xp, and i waisted 2 of my good xp potions. I made a /report, but have not yet got a reply and the weekend is here. Please be kind enough to return to me the 2 xp potions i waisted last weekend, so i can enjoy them this weekend if you do turn on the bonus xp feature for this holiday weekend. My main is Tats in Everfrost server. Thanks for making things right. Sincerely, Tats

How does that old bromide go? Oh, yes, 'you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.'
Anordil@Lucan DLere wrote: Plus it didn't take a genius to figure out when bonus xp was in effect before they put in the new feature that explicitly tells you. /toggle_bonus_xp If it says it toggles it off you can toggle it back on and be assured it's in effect on your server. If it says "no bonuses in effect for this server" then you can probably be sure there is no bonus xp for your server. Pretty easy. Go figure.
Wow, what fools we! All we had to do was enter this completely undocumented and unintuitive command and the answer would have been obvious! I hope the fact that the developer posting in this thread stating the command is useless unless you're on the test server doesn't make your condescension moot.

Fantastic improvement! I'm really impressed by how quickly helpful changes are making it into the game.

Take the snarky bickering to PM's please. We'll be announcing the next bonus exp weekend this coming week.
