Double EXP Campaign

[Krashport]

Considering all mob EXP outside of abyssea was doubled after abyssea came out, technically this is quadruple what it was originally, and then exp rings stack with it. It's fast enough for you old man *han solo voice*.

Correct, but have to also realize that the level was raised around when Abyssea came out so therefore doubled helped the higher levels more then anything and Abyssea made leveling a thing of the past. If you go way back to when leveling to 50 it use to be like 54k TNL... adding that would make it more then quadruple today. *Yoda voice*

That being said this campaign is llargely aimed at people who DON'T leech their way from 30 to 99 and only go to abyssea at a reasonable level.

Wrong, its largely aimed at those members that can get online this weekend, everyone else that would like to participate that can't are sol. Also if you think about it those that DON'T leech their way up, getting double XP and using bands is another way of leeching it up those book-burns are going to be hot and packed over the weekend.

Leeching implies no active participation in the battle. This double-EXP campaign rewards people who don't just sit in Abyssea or the Oubliette soaking up EXP - people who challenge themselves to fight mobs that give EXP upon death without page bonuses or whatever. Sure, most of us aren't stubbornly anti-abyssea/GoV, but that doesn't mean the people loyal to the old ways should be abandoned.

it a reason why it not for abyssea and books. so it kinda aimed at people that dont wanna lolleech 30-99 and would like a good low man or 6 man pt 300-600 a kill T,VT or IT (weekend exp would be like 600-900) + page bonus so. it wont be all that great if everyone 18/18 pt spamming just easy and you guys only getting like 3-9 exp a kill atm?lol with 2k page or so

k?.. that doesn't mean Members only leech in Abyssea. I've seen many do it and its mostly the leaders that are leeching in Book burns.

So would rather have SE give an XP bonus for just a weekend, then just get a bonus from FoV/GoV right... People loyal to the old ways... if "you're" not keeping yourself @ Lv.75 cap you are not loyal to the old ways. lol

I couldn't agree more. By the way, I never asked to add it to Abyssea or Books. I was just wondering why just a weekend, I mean would it really hurt if it lasted for a full week... then those Member that can't participate might be able to. Personally I like old school and new school. I like Final Fantasy XI for what it is, I don't pick pieces. (Somethings suck, Somethings don't suck, Somethings don't suck as much.) Another thing it's not just for low man parties, women play this game to!

Oh a fellow campaign would be awesome. My Fellow is still like level 75 or something, which means faaaaar behind.

So what? the same is true of free weekends in steam, ingame holiday events, and anything else you can imagine that's time limited. If you miss it, sucks to be you. Or maybe not, since some people are complaining that it doesn't help anything.

It's called a promotion. Promotions don't last forever.

WE DO NOT PAY a monthly subscription to STEAM and these are two different Companies! Holiday events last LONGER then a weekend.

I guarantee that what I'm doing on the other side of my computer while my character is leeching in Abyssea is approximately one thousand times more challenging than actively participating in a GoV book burn.

That said,even if this were applicable to Abyssea I'd never waste the opportunity there. Too much relic gear to upgrade. I do like the idea of extending it to a week though.

I wish I could be online this weekend, but I cant and really I think I will be okay. Double experience is going to create the same problem Abyssea does regarding skillup anyways, so I might as well key whore myself to 75 and whiff my way to 99 anyways. The only anti-abyssea argument people could possibly have is fun, skillup, or ability to play your job, and other than fun, this campaign does what abyssea does. Granted I am nostalgic of the old days at times and would love an old merit style party once in a while.
