No. I'd rather reward people playing constantly throughout the entire week rather than people who just play heavily during the weekend.

I actually hate these things in other games. After cash shops, I think they're one of the biggest contributors to an overall "cheap" and less professional feeling.

I would like to see something like this, if nothing else than for PvP. It would be a great way to get the PvP community all active at once. Its hard to nail down the best times to PvP as it is right now.

What makes you say that?

Events, maybe, extra xp/tomes etc, no. Like was stated above it will just lead to a lull during the week, and punishes those who cannot play on weekends.

[Wizarus]

I approve. Anything to make it worth playing with the trolling weekend players, instead of the end-game players capping on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Will this not lead to "Ah I won't log in during the week, I'll cap when the bonus is up", for example?

only thing id want it for is pvp bonus nothing else.. tomes etc are easy enough to farm.. but they need to find ways to drastically shorten the pvp wait times... 2 hours for a loss is a joke im just hoping the new frontlines in heavensward considerably shortens the queues but dont like the chances of that happening

[kyuven]

It'd be nice if they were a bit more dynamic about it, sort of like EQ1's hot zones.
Is X dungeon not getting as many queues as usual? add a bonus to exp/tomes!

Sure it will, for some. But the idea of double weekends isn't to hold them so regularly as to make them trivial. I think most people will simply be playing the game as normal while taking extra advantage of the weekend for extras or catch-up. It's how it's always worked with games which ran similar events.

This idea gets my full support. Double nexus light would be a great weekend too. It already takes an age to get anywhere with it.
