I don't like the idea of exp week, probably because I'm already 50 and have no desire to do it over again lol.

On a different note, I really hope this exp bonus is a one time thing, even if the server comes down again. I'm not sure anyone will understand or be familiar with my reference, but during the Vietnam war, American PoWs were brainwashed through a pretty simple process: getting them to do things they would not normally do one step at a time, eventually building up to make these PoWs become completely irrational and change allegiances to the Vietcong.

I guess this will be a better example:Getting a new car and telling your friends not to eat or drink in it. One of your friends asks if they can chew gum, and you don't want to say yes but you comply. Next, someone asks if they can bring a drink in your car, and once again, you don't want to say yes, but you do. Taking that first little step makes one that much more inclined to take another little step.

Anyways, I'm rambling, but the point of this is, The GMs are granting this 50% exp bonus for the downtime. I hope this will be a one time thing, but I worry the GMs may be more easily inclined to grant future exp bonuses or things of this nature. I also saw something about people receiving potential prizes or gifts for their donations. It's fine if we have to pay for this game, which I'd be more than willing to, but trading money for advantages is going to ruin this server and make it like all the other emulated servers.

Hopefully I don't get flamed for this, I'm just expressing my concerns for the well-being of the server.
JUICE?! THE MOST EPIC TANK EVER?!

Well lets look at this point by point.
1) you should prob do 1-50 again, sorry juiceman

2)what the fuck do the techniques implemented by the viet-cong have to do with this server and the tactics rogean and co employ? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

3)future bonuses? This has been the first "bonus" and is only because we got juwed from a ddos kiddy, when we couldve been exp'ing 4-5 days before the server move.

4)in regards to donating for in-game items/advantages, this has been STATED BY THE DEVS IT WONT HAPPEN.
