View Full Version : No exp bonus, no weekend event?

I realize this will rub people wrong, but there has been little to no GM "anything" in a while again.
Will there be a Christmas weekend xp boost? (Hopefully double exp)
Will there be a Christmas event turned on?
Hopefully it's not a Christmas-day only type of deal.

considering how badly they bungled the rewards from the halloween event, and the resulting bitching that occurred, i'm gonna say it'll be a while before we see another gm event

With the work they put into the Halloween event, which wasn't all that long ago.... And the heavy negative reactions from some people. And the fact that all there time is volunteered, and that they have families, I would consider us lucky if they even logged on to /bonus exp for us. I hope they do, but I won't be surprised if they don't.

Any Xmas events would have been announced or at least hinted by now...
As for the Xmas bonus... It might be started tomorrow for Saturday through Monday and again next weekend for the New Years holiday.

There's a 50-240% XP bonus on red server right now!
50% bonus just soloing, +40% bonus for each group member you add <3

So basically a flat 50% bonus, since there isn't actually anyone PLAYING to group with!

Log in and find out, I've had no problems finding a group in MM, City of Mist or Sol B at different times :)
Start on Faydwer or Field of Bone if you're starting fresh.

Free I understand, but what's the point anymore? It's a drawn out slog of slow moving crap. The original purpose of P99 has clearly stagnated, and the GM's don't care. They don't introduce any additional "fun", and police the top end like a military state.
Someone that gives a crap needs to take over, or start a similar project with instances =)

Take a break.
...and instances? yikes. You know where to go if you want to do EQ Lite.

[they] police the top end like a military state.
Are we playing on the same server? I'd love to see the top end policed "like a military state"

People complain about anything. That event was legit, they handed out legit prizes, and had hundreds of people participate. Ignore the trolls, some people quit the game but have no social life and so they just say here to bother people.

I hope there is no bonus XP weekend, always brings the worst out in people.

It does seem as if when "/bonus exp activated" occurs most players misinterpret it as "/play nice policy deactivated"

Glad to hear someone agree on that. We should have xp penalty holidays
i think braknar did the holiday event, and since braknar sucks the event automatically sucked
Doods doing it for free, chillax the feck out.

In theory there'll be more mobs to kill in most zones (not as competitive) so in essence it'll be an xp bonus

Just because something is offered for free and provided by volunteers doesn't mean that those who enjoy the free service should not ask questions or voice their concerns.

I'd say leave it off tbh, force these people to spend a holiday with their families instead of chasing pixels.

Agreed. Turn off respawns for the holiday. For the truly immersed it would be nice to see guk, permafrost and maybe even Cazic Thule and Velious getting cleared of mobs because xp highway dried up of mobs!

True, even the lower zones get PL chomped

I think players should get a penalty for being logged in for so long. Make a mini ress effects type tired effect to any that go 12+ hours. You cant plopsock that camp after 18 hours of no sleep and your character suffers until rested for X amount of down time.
