I can understand Rogean and the Project 1999 crew's stance on this issue. Obviously, they didn't foresee the DDoS attack coming, and while the vast majority of us are devoted to the project, the community is growing at a rapid rate...Which means there's a lot of new players. DDoS attacks can be used as scare tactics to keep these newer players away from the game, which I'm sure none of us want.
That being said, I think that 25% xp bonus for a week is fair. They initially wanted to give us 50% out of the goodness of their hearts, as a sort of thank you for sticking by them during this whole ordeal. Of course, we would have done so anyway! But the fact that half the community said yes, and half the community said no, meeting in the middle isn't really all that bad. In a perfect world, I'd say 25% xp bonus for a weekend might be a better solution, but all the same, I'll leave the decisions up to the team!
Thanks Rogean and the Project 1999 team for your hard work and continued dedication to the progress of this server that we've all come to love!
