Feldon On December 21st, SmokeJumper announced a Double XP weekend from December 30th through January 2nd. On December 30th, Isulith updated this announcement to include January 3rd, extending the event to 5 days. So it was a surprise to us to login this morning and find that Double XP has ended. Perhaps the server hamsters did not receive the updated schedule. Hopefully, we can get an extra day added at some point.
This is being discussed on the EQ2 Forums
UPDATE: Double XP has been extended until January 4th @ 9am.
I suspected this would happen when the “through January 3rd” announcement still called it “four days”.
Pfffft, the post got edited to say “five days”. Well I guess that settles that.
These idiots couldn’t get a one car funeral right. Wish we could impeach them.
Not surprising. I don’t think any two SOE employees are on the same page, it’s laughable.
i think 210% potions would be nice…as most ppl use the 110% potion during the double xp this would give them the server double xp plus the potion they would of used and it could be used at there own descretion so they would be able to get the bennifit of the double xp when they have the time…..but ill be happy with an extended day of double xp also 🙂
Right hand, meet left hand. Left hand, please meet right hand. Please communicate.
just got back on the game…mines showing 100% server bonus now
Apparently the error was saying through today, instead of through yesterday…
It seems, however, they’re owning up to the mistake and it’s on through tomorrow morning, North American time.
Oh the EverQuest 2 Facebook page :
“On Thursday, 12/29/11 we announced a Bonus Experience Weekend from December 30th – January 3rd. This was an error on our part; it was supposed to end on January 2nd. Because of our mistake, we are extending the Double XP until January 4th at 9:00 AM PST. We greatly apologize for the inconvenience and understand your frustrations. The Double XP is live again so go out there and get adventuring! [Isulith]”
What is WITH these people lately? Proofreading public annoucements for accuracy might be a start. No one actually noticed Isulith posted the wrong thing, for that many days? So really, the people who do the coding were correct to turn it off. I think some heads might be rolling if this actually cost them money, but since double exp costs them nothing (and probably makes money with potion sales) all’s well that ends well.
Glad to see the exp is back on. Thanks for that.
Awesome, so only until 9AM PST. Those of us who work during the day get shafted on a half of days double XP. Way to go SOE!
It was an honest mistake. They didn’t have to turn it back on but they did. You all should be happy. IMO they have been doing a fantastic job.
