Bonus XP?

I assume that the Bonus XP is for two reasons. 1) Devs are concerned about the community coming back 2) Devs feel bad about the server being down.

To address both: 1) The community will come back, devs shouldn't be concerned about that. Server was expanding not contracting prior to the it going down. 2) Players aren't angry, they just miss the game. So I'd imagine a huge bump on the first day back.

This is the type of stuff that SOE would pull. If we want to stay away from things that ruined Original EQ, we should stay away from a bonus xp week. We all wanted a classic server, now lets stick with it.

Sorry for the rant, but this is what I hated about SOE.

To add: The poll above shows that the small population of the server that voted is split. Mind you it's a small sample. That's hardly a mandate to change something.

First - doesn't matter why you think the devs were offering it, they didn't say, so don't even bother speculating because that's all it is.

Second - the "classic" argument is crap. There are 100's of things that we encounter on a daily basis in game that aren't "classic".

Third - XP weekends have been used by all major MMO companies. Don't blame SOE - it's a part of marketing.

Fourth - Why look a gift horse in the mouth? It isn't as big a deal as everyone is making it out to be. The only reason why I am for it is because to be opposed to it would be to simply be bitching for no reason.
