A 25% exp boost really isn't going to change my playing behavior in any way whatsoever. Unlike 2x+ exp boosts and the like, if I had something trivial IRL I wanted to get done that day I'm not even going to begin to think of canceling it over something that does little more than just barely cancel out my race penalty... Which especially seems relevant during memorial day weekend when people have shit to do.

It's just too trivial. A 25% exp boost? Who cares? Would anyone outside of those running PLs even notice that sort of change if the boost was there and we weren't told about it?

Yeah... I'm not missing out on anything here, so I'm just gonna go back out to my barbecue grill and grab a beer now...

A beer that has a brutally underwhelming % of alcohol. 4% alc boost? Who cares? It's just too trivial. C'mon, you'd have to drink a good 5 or 6 to just barely get a little buzz going.

Dude you're talking about a population that will poop sock for 40 hours a week for months on end to boost their hp by 3%, and you think a 25% XP bonus means shit? Think you best find the game that suits you, ain't this server.

Everyone's opinions vary from the different postings I've read in regards to the bonus xp weekend...as for myself, I want to say thank you to the managers of p99 for this weekend. I hadn't been on EQ for long,may be a year if that, but in my time here periodically playing I can't recall a bonus xp weekend. So again, thanks to those who made it possible. I've got a 41 warrior, a 22 wizard, a 21 necromancer, a 18 rogue,and a 7 iksar monk...and all of them express their gratitude for the 25% bonus xp. Now if in the past the bonus xp was higher in multiplication, hey I missed it, but I aint complaining about it either because with or without a bonus xp weekend this game is fun to me...

125% is much better than 200% for precisely the reason you bitch - player behavior. Last exp bonus before this was 200% and everyone became a huge dickhead. This weekend was way better.

Thanks for the xp bonus! Got some grouping in this weekend and got to see CoM which I haven't seen for at least ten years.

I'm new to the server, hadn't played real EQ in years. Though playtime was limited the bonus xp was much appreciated by my 10 druid and 6 bard! Thanks!
