Hello,
Tomorrow (Saturday) at 16.00 UTC time (http://time.is/UTC), Double Experience event will start - player characters will gain double experience points from any activity. The event will last until Sunday @ 22.00 UTC (http://time.is/UTC).
We hope you will have fun!
Please note: books of achievements will not work during that time - this means that while books will be generated via ~deleteself as normal, using them will have no effect until the event ends.
-
awesome, thank you kilgore
but why will be the achievement books disabled? i tested it back on the last event and it worked fine, didnt give double xp

Because of delayed timezones could the next one possibly be expanded 6 or 12 hours in both directions? ;)
The idea that it is a weekend event is disjointed by timezones effecting when a weekend starts and ends etc.

Went from level 36 i think, to level 74. Very happy about that. Thanks for this double-xp weekend! I hope this is done again.
-
Had a great time with this, looking forward to the next one.
-
Agreed.
Was awesome.
-
I really loved it because so many players were in the desert, just begging to be PK'd...
-
We having this 2x a month? Every other weekend would be fantastic.

I would love this, and if another comes sooner,,,,,

How about this again next weekend? i missed the previous one :(
-
Double EXP should really just be a once every month thing at random points, gives players a reason to have to log on atleast once a day to check for changes. And people wont really be able to ask for a specific date because it will be randomized.

+1, I like this idea!
-
For special events like Xmas and holidays too!
-
Randomly done a few days in a month sounds like a good idea, but it depends on why you want double EXP.
Is it to simply get double EXP? Or to create a temporarily high population density?
Since people work on week days weekend events would mean more people than a completely random EXP day(s)
If its for the sake of EXP, either way doesn't change anything. Special events on holidays can be cool.

As far as reasons for why double exp should be every few days a month, it would allow players from the lower percentile to get into the higher percentile (as far as levels) or the middle percentile. Special events such as holidays there could be a special event specifically for double exp, or for Xmas, double exp specifically for crafting (santa's elves reasoning) and for an event on the 4th of july it could be double exp for using explosives instead of small guns or energy weapons (if theres a way that could be implemented). And double exp could support either easier leveling for lower level players or it could be used for the sake of high density population, which although some people might not like high density population, they'll still get double exp either way.
-
Or rather than a couple of double exp days per month, we could have a double exp day and a double encounter rate day for more encounters that people run into. Because people with high outdoorsmans skill cant get into random encounters as fast so that would cater to them and people would still be getting more experience from it.
-
Pls no higher encounter rate. I have high outdoorsman because I DONT want to be annoyed by 5000 encounters every minute.

i think he mean higher SE rate
-
SE are fine as they are now if you ask me, they shouldn't be "farmable" per se. Rather a rare occurance that makes your month/day/week.

For some of us it's once per 2 months :P
It could stay rare as it is, but there should be some another way to get some nice high tier stuff.

I'd enjoy seeing specific activities/events that attract players to certain areas/activities.
EG:
"For the next 24 hours all experience gained on caravans is doubled"
"Ghouls will give double experience for the next 24 hours"
"A rich vein was struck at Broken Hills! Miners will mine twice the ores in the same time for the coming 24 hours!"
"V15 has been infested by a rather rich raiding party, loot will now spawn every few minutes for the next 24 hours"
"A strange air hangs around modoc, giving players experience (+500) for every minute they spend there"
The above are just examples/possiblities, be creative.
Of course such a thing would require a bit more work to set up than doubling all xp, but I believe it would be a nice way to get players to come together, either to converse/coop or blow eachothers heads off.

Love it. Lets just have some random fun stuff, it's Fallout for pity's sake. Hell, I say don't even announce it. Just let it happen rather often with slightly reduced rewards so it encourages people to actually travel the world map and look for it. Maybe add a minor NPC encounter to let you know what's going on. (A family being chased by ghouls, Dead miners with a note from someone they knew at Broken hills, etc. to go off Gosseberry's suggestions.)
Let the randomness also encourage socializing, spreading it by word of mouth, maybe even linking it to players in order to decrease the rate of PK'ing in a special event zone. ("Player:X told you about an influx of high value goods in the trading market and how Caravans are seeking skilled guards." -- "You killed Player:X and word got around, the caravaneers seem suspicious towards you and refuse to pay you top dollar for your services.") Maybe base it off Player-to-NPC reputation in the zone in order to get the PvP'ers some reward. ("Player:X was boasting about the fortune they made from raiding a caravan, apparently they've got an influx of high value goods." - "After you killed the notorious raider Player:X the caravan master was very thankful and gave you a bonus to your pay for the next Y hours.")
