Double EXP periods. {Can I have it?}

[ShivenCasull]

Why YES! I did. I'm from the future after all! Don't cross the street outside your house on September 23rd at 2:20PM eastern time... Trust me.

I understand that leveling in 2.0 maybe slower, but looking at these results I doubt it.

You should read the interview I linked from Yoshi's translated interview. It's more relevant than an old popular vote.

From what I've seen Dev estimates are never true. Even so, 30 hours isn't very long when you take into account that this is a MMORPG and is meant to take time.

again, the 30 hours was for 1-15ish, not 1-50.

Not sure if anyone else mentioned this...

it would give SE an excuse to update the launcher page with news. It would also be incentive for people to check the website for "weekend events"

They don't even have to be double exp, since that seems to be a major sticking point for people... small weekly/bi-weekly events aren't a bad thing.

I'd prefer more flavorful things. Aside from holidays, WoW had the Darkmoon Faire (think "ren faire meets creepy circus motif out of a tim burton movie"), which would come to town the first week of every month. The faire had some minigames, and once it got revamped also had dailies and long term goals for players who wanted to take part of them. Gear you could use for transmogrification costing an insane amount of tickets, ways to help people level professions and so on. There were benefits and if gave people something to do.

While I don't think XIV would benefit from a traveling faire/circus type of thing, the idea is solid. A regular event that you can look forward to with its own rewards and perks while giving you slight boosts to character progression if you're starting out. I'd use the Tantalus Theater Troupe as the base for such an event.

it like how?

First of all, this just proves you're that 20% and that they'll take this result from the current game into consideration for tweaking 2.0 pace.

At this point you're trying to hard. Stop and save yourself from further embarrassment time traveler

30hrs to to complete the tutorial too right?

[Nightdreamer]

Wait!!!! Noob here, are we starting over in 2.0? It just took me a month to get 3 classes/jobs to 30+ in casual play time. If starting over would be the case then it's pointless to play now.

Have to fear, you probably won't be forced to start over!

To be specific he said the tutorial would conclude at around level 15, which would take about 30 hours to get through.
So both.

If this is correct I'll be happy with the speed, but I still dislike EXP periods. As someone said before, this isn't Call of Duty.
But I'll wait for an official translation.

I was the 20%, you're a smart one!

Trying to hard? Right... Oh, and you can spell big words! Good for you! =)
I guess I really shouldn't feed the trolls.
