    Live Servers
    • Double earned Renewal Talent, Imperial Hero's Mint, Imperial Adventurer's Mint, and Mira Miracula currencies
    Is that not all currencies on Live ?

    All four from Renewal of Ro.
  6. Tkia Well-Known Member

    Which is a long way from all currencies and does nothing for people not playing the latest expansion.
  7. Cusashorn Well-Known Member


    The notes specify the four currencies specifically for Live servers, and "All currencies" for Kael Drakkel.
  8. Tkia Well-Known Member

    Exactly the problem. Not everyone playing below max level is on KD but they do seem to be being excluded from the bonuses ... again.
  9. Chikkin Well-Known Member

    In other words please add some bonus for the little guy without RoR expansion playing on AB, Halls of Fate, Skyfire and Majdul.
    Thank you

    Bonus exp would be nice, double currencies like city tokens, crafting dailies currencies etc.
    Bonus status would make a LOT of us ecstatic.

    We Remember...but forgot the badly needed Double xp on live servers. Why????:oops::(
    But more importantly, why are you giving live servers the shaft when we haven't seen anything in a long time?
  11. puppybreath Active Member

    Not to dump on the party but the select dbl currency on Live servers FORGETS, Everyone is NOT high enough to venture to those zones. THATS NOT COOL to them!
    Why not just give everyone a bonus of ALL currency dbl AND dbl xp? That way you really do 'remember all the heroes' not just select grps. IDK just doesnt sound like you really want to honor them too much. Come on loosen the purse strings & give dbl currency to all or give us death! Oh wait, We get enough death in game.

    A side note: I held on to all my status items for MORE THAN A YEAR waiting for a dbl status something. I got rid of them so I suppose you will now have a dbl status something soon right? Guess I screwed myself on that one huh. :oops:

    Not even close. Those are ONLY this most recent expac (RoR) and the latest GU. So if you're a CASUAL player, non-raid, new or returning player, those bonuses will NOT help you at all.

    I agree 100%. While I appreciate the bonus, this bonus will ONLY benefit those who are top levels in ADV (possibly very top in TS, too, doing research quests for RoR & the most recent GU). While I've been playing a very, very long time, I am a casual player and don't typically do Heroics, Raids or Public Quests (except for holiday ones). I did love the Dragon Attack! event and wish we had more of the STATUS bonus hackamores that were usable by 90s, including TS of 90s and higher. The non-Dragon Attack! status hackamores are ONLY for 110+ ADVENTURE levels, leaving the high level TSers that are not 110+ ADV level out in the cold with regard to status. Particularly since we have not had a status bonus event or an exp bonus event in a very long time.

    Please note that I AM happy with the VoV and RoR expacs and with the events, including recipes and new buyables. But this bonus and the status hackamore issue make me wonder if the devs care about casual players.

    Just like Pepperidge Farm remembers EQ2 remembers what you did to earn Platinum! Garnel Rucksif even says next time we party at your place!

    Appreciate the bonuses, but pretty sure I get nothing from this as a returning player on Maj'Dul that started over recently... (formerly of Crushbone, from way back when... that's where all my other chars were, so that's where I made my new ones.) I do have boosts, but wanted to experience the leveling before using them... and since my two highest chars are still pitifully low, at 48 and 32 ish, doubled currency for the highest level content means nothing.
  16. Schmetterling Well-Known Member

    don't forget Thurgadin, Chillin.
    Yes belief it or not Accendo , there are still people on the regular servers that are below level 120 or even as low as level 60 or lower, who love playing this game.
  17. Schmetterling Well-Known Member

    and double hunter coins for Varsoon? really?
    The 12 or so who are still working on that will be very happy about that, can we extend that to the mid content is released, so everybody can enjoy it? (mostly kidding about the extension)
  18. Thatdarncat Active Member

    I don't generally like to complain but I'd have to agree with the consensus here. This doesn't offer much to players who aren't at the higher end of current content. My current focus is a level 60 I transferred off of Kaladim and I'm likely to be concentrating on that character until the next expansion so my max levels on another server are benched for the time being. I'd actually have appreciated the good old double xp more than twice as many of some currencies I'm not seeing but at least double all currencies would be fair to everyone.

    Also, on the double status thing, yes please.

    Can I get quadruple rewards if I send a copy of my DD form 214?
  20. Zinj Well-Known Member

    Incentive to upgrade to the latest expansion. Also, DB tends to cater more to the major raiding players as they apparently are more likely to drop extra cash to improve their "uber-ness."
