While surplus does go to extremes if you do as a player go to extremes. It is the same system. Rested XP is a Negative Status that is given as a way to encourage people to stop playing for a while to spread out their game play over an amount of time. They both do the same thing, Surplus was just Advertised wrong.

It doesn't matter if you get

2 XP Normal + 1 XP Rested.

Or 4 XP Normal - 1 XP Fatigued,

The end result is you still get 3 XP.
