Well there was no 1-week-downtime on live either. So imagine the server wouldnt have been down for a week we all would have made some exp. I think the exp event is for getting some "lost time" back.

I think the idea isnt that bad but i dont really care if we get an exp event or not(as long as we dont get exp events every few month).

I just want to play again im so bored [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thx for the news Rogean.
Ok, if anything push the Kunark release up a week, along with any other upcoming updates...I'm sorry to complain, but bonus exp is just too WoW or live EQ.

Well with a response like that, I have a question for you that I have been wondering for weeks, not that i'm giving you any special attention or anything, heh, don't flatter yourself...

If that is you in your avatar, what exactly ARE you??? A tomboy girl, or a very flamboyant male? Just curious. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You realize that this is offensive, right? The year is 2010, but even in 1999 there were far more choices than girly girls and manly men. I've been an Atvaata fan since someone tried to start a "who's hotter" thread and she told everyone involved to fuck off.

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 Korean 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 Korean side.

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.

I agree with everything Atvaata says cause for some reason her username reminds me of this awesome song :

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.

Haha, Juice talking about the ruining of the server -- when he doe more to contribute to people leaving than any other 20 people combined. Lets take a little test --

To which character do all of the following apply?

1) Frequent ragequits groups leaving them with no tank, sometimes taking shaman bot with him.
2) Kicks people from group for winning rolls on rare, but crappy items that he wanted.
3) Gets kicked from guild(s) after exhibiting behavior #2 above.
4) Admits on multiple occassions to 2 boxing (btw 2 boxing means controlling 2 characters at the same time, not necessarily on the same computer).
5) Forces groups to reform without him because hes a blithering idiot.

I am sure that this list isnt exhaustive as I these are just the items I witnessed personally before i added Juice to /ignore.

Oh yeah, if you answered Juice, congratulations, you have aced the quiz.
