XP Bonuses

[Rogean]

Wanted to clarify that both servers are now in Double XP. Red server will see a significant increase since the modifer was already 1.5, and is now at 3.0 (200% Increase over blue).

It will last until I remember to turn it off, which who knows when that will be since I'm heading to Vegas.

[khanable]

You're the man. Maybe I will get some double xp love this weekend.

woo.

[Nuggie]

Have fun. Go see the sights at "The Library"

[Laugher]

[mtb tripper]

this should be nice

[dax]

side note : could you wait to turn it back off after you come back? :) and hope you win so u can take a few weeks in Vegas. Everyone wins!

[Ravager]

Rogean needs to drink till he forgets and we need a mod to delete this thread so that double exp turns into normal exp.

[Pullyn]

Mericah.

[Wotsirb401]

WOO! Just got really excited! XPing into the weekend!

[Raavak]

Schwiiiing!!!
Hmmm now I gotta find a way to rig up my laptop for internet in the back of a car...

[ozzy1133]

I guess I'm not drinking today or tomorrow on my days off! 100% EQ TIME!

[daebak]

Thank you.

[Meiva]

You don't have to remember to turn it off. We're all catching up for Velious ;)

[mtb tripper]

well hey

[melkortshea]

Awesome this will mean my Druid has a decent chance to make it to 19 this weekend. Only problem I will face then is farming enough coin to buy spells.

[senna]

Just quit my job, broke up with my girlfriend, sold my pets and bought a pallet of ramen

time to ding level 20

[JackFlash]

might need a couple socks to go with that unless you cut out the ramen....

[Loli Pops]

I did not expect this. Thanks for all your hard work.

[Samoht]

morans quit posting in this thread

[beyondinfin]

[Raavak]

[mtb tripper]

[lawll]

You trying to get your post count up or something? You keep commenting on post saying random shit rofl.

[mtb tripper]

yeah man fixing to hit that fire giant

[Holey]

where in vegas? lol lets meet up hahaha

[Vindicoth]

someone claiming in guild chat that XP bonuses seem to be off. Anyone able to verify if they are on or off still?

[Pringles]

Off after server reset? Am man, I missed it.

[Wotsirb401]

Anyone? Are we back to the normal grind?

[Radiskull]

Exp bonus was certainly still in last night @10pm EST

[senna]

thats right you filthy casuals with jobs, wives, and RL commitments. No dbl exp weekend for you!!!

[Rysky]

:'( waahhhhhh!!!!!

[flatt]

I'm pretty sure it went off after server reset, my exp gains slowed very much then.

[Numbers_]

Well, that explains a lot then.

I was gonna say...I remember 45 being bad, but if it's still this bad with double experience I'm giving up if i'm not out of this level by the time things go back to normal.

[Clyve]

That was the shortest double EXP ever. So short, in fact, that I didn't even notice it was double EXP until it was too late.

[gotrocks]

Hmm, sounds like double (triple for red) xp really is off? Surprised it didnt get left on through the weekend...?

Maybe rogean was so mad about EQN and the convention that he shut it off remotely while he was still in vegas :D

[Rogean]

It's still on. Those changes don't get reverted on a reset. A patch maybe, but not a reset.

I'll probably keep it on until early Monday AM.

[Silent]

Makes me sad im missing out on exp now that login servers down and entire group crashed zoning into TT from seb except the tank. So could have hit 60 on my monk and took my rogue to 55+ easily, still can hopefully if login server goes up! But either way the exp bonus was nice while added. Was getting 8% a solo kill at one point on my rogue(halfing bonus + red bonus + temp bonus = win). and 2 hours for 30% into 59 for a iksar monk in a jail group with a hybrid in group = win win.

[Ulwyn]

yeah, finally got around to getting some exp and login server crashes when I LD in the back of CT..... yay for hard corpse recoveries.....

[gotrocks]

Triple XP still on on red...?

Xp definitely slowed way down today when I started playing. Not that big of a deal, just curious. Really seemed like it was reset back to normal red server bonus.

[Gustoo]

over 1000 players on blue. beautiful thing.

[senna]

may it never end

Missing all the xp. Sigh.

Little longer please sir. So hard to sit and play eq during summer weekends

[Gustoo]

People just suiciding their EXP because they know its gunna end. The bolstered numbers cant last forever. Making servers even more top heavy in the long run won't really benefit many people.

Tough call. I am enjoying the bonus EXP, but I don't think its a real solution, lots and lots and lots of level 60's as it is.

[Silent]

I hope it stays on red for a while longer, a month or two at least and see if population/pvp rises. But either way if its coming off, It was nice while it was on. Thanks Rogean. Finally did a 12hour stretch finished my monk to 60 and friends managed to knock out their hybrids 30-55+

[Wokchop]

Thanks for this Rogean. It has really helped.

[Lanzellot]

Thx rog for the Bonus were great;)you are great;)

[justin2090]

Weeeelp time to hit the ole dusty trail. Gotta catch up on .. well .. life. Thanks for the xp!

[Bantam 1]

I got to 30 without any PLing so I'm happy as hell.

[heartbrand]

red breaks 200 first time in months, xp bonus removed, incoming pop crash again grats

[Slathar]

Red needs the exp bonus removed ASAP. Get those numbers down. Taste the grief. Swallow it down. Yes, good.

[Nirgon]

Red could use it. Blue definitely doesn't need more chars shoved up into max levels aka more people screaming about contested raid spawns.

Case and point:
Imagine if all the KC/Unrest disputes were now about raid mobs.

[frantz256255]

it seems the bonus on project1999 server is again up ? or i got 3% for dark blue at my lv38 druid humain strangely ???

[Rogean]

I'll leave XP Bonus on until later tonight, probably around 2-3 AM. I'll need to pull server down then anyways for backend updates.

[Rogean]

Red will keep a 2.0 modifier I guess. You trolls and your XP Hunger.

[gotrocks]

^^ :)

[Sarius]

You're finally patching the monk epic graphic?! I knew I loved you!

[dax]

any chance we can know how long they be down? i never found out why they was down this morning waited couple hours then went to bed,was hoping this isn't the same thing ;/

[Rogean]

This morning wasn't a scheduled downtime. Even I didn't even know it was down for 5 hours.

[Pudge]

so is red going to have 1.5 X 2.0 bonus (which I believe is what we have currently), or just bump up to 2.0 regular?

[Pudge]

o i re-read your first post and now this one. okay i got it.

[Faerie]

Red will keep a 2.0 modifier I guess. You trolls and your XP Hunger.

Thanks for listening to the community on this one, Rogean. I disagree with them in this instance but it's good to know that you're listening.

[SamwiseRed]

PRASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Terpuntine]

Pras rogean

[Vermouth]

Thank you Rogean.

Any idea how long this down time will be sir?

[Barladore]

Big ups from your red pals, Rogean.

[Langrisser]

now splitting time evenly between servers... when i want to carebear i go to blue and Veltin Sane holds peoples hands and ports and buffs and slobbers advice all over

...you dont want to find Jools Winnfield on Red. His house does not say Dead Erudite Storage.

thank you rogean, you have given p99 the kiss of life

[Auchae]

We're not worthy.

[kaos057]

Red will keep a 2.0 modifier I guess. You trolls and your XP Hunger.

Seems to only be 1.5 currently. I'm getting exactly half what I was getting when it was 3.0

[Genedin]

Hmmm. Can anyone else confirm they are getting the 300% exp they were getting?

[Sabrine]

Thank you for the bonus! we were able to get to 20 =)

[NGHpnotiq]

God Everyone is always so paranoid about that exp bonus! I swear

[gotrocks]

red is back down to 2x mod instead of 3, right?

seems like its still at 3x but everyone tellin me i'm dumb so w/e.

[Silent]

Rogean posted in another thread showing modifier was still at 3x,

You guys are paranoid as fuck. Nobody ever turned it off.

And as a 52 rogue grouping with a 52 paladin 50 warrior killing random dark blues in burning woods I can confirm exp is still leet 3x. I am getting 1% basically every kill save light blues. halfling 10% bonus ontop of it all though helps some.

[jarinaEQ1]

Please leave this bonus until end of Earth :)

[Raavak]

Leave the Red bonus! Otherwise there would be absolutely no reason to play there.
