Since this server has pretty competitive rates, I think it'll be cool to see some 2x events (for EXP/Drop) once in awhile. I am suggesting this not only because I'm a lazy bum who does not like to grind for hours and hours, but also because it would be great way to help those that are new (like me!) catch up to speed. This doesn't mean 2x everyday (8x total), but maybe on the weekends when more players will be on. Any thoughts?
2x should be reserved for compensation for rollbacks and such. I think it would be cool to set community milestones and give us say 4 hours of 1.5x if we complete them.
That's actually a really good idea. Maybe there could even be a kind of scavenger hunt. Remember the Christmas event, where it was a community effort to spawn the snowman? Maybe Royals could do something like that for an hour or two of 1.5x. It would have to be much much harder than 10000 nevermelt ice's though.
-Remembers right after wipe when they promised us an exp event and it never happened.- Honestly though 8x exp is a bit excessive. The things I could do with 8x....
Or they could make it so that everyday a randomly chosen in game name out of all the Royalers in the database is given 4 hours for the 8x EXP.
I wouldn't mind it if it were used after rollbacks. Shows more generosity from the staff team. oh man you'd be getting one level a day again
*knocks on wood* Rollbacks are VERY few and far between. And the whole reason we wiped and went from 8x to 4x were players were complaining about how easy the game was. So to make the game 2x frequently, would kind of make the game easier again than it should be.
Although, I do quite like the sound of community events... To collect a number of ETC's similar to the christmas snowman event. But it would really need to be something more like 1.25x exp and/or drop and only last for an hour or so, otherwise it would be pretty OP and what John said. Maybe we can do something like this for the next seasonal event. Although obviously we would want to make sure that most of the players would like something like this before implementing anything - even temporarily.
My idea is make 2x exp and drop coupons work from the cash chop but make them cost a ton like say 40k nx so said person would have to save 5 days for the coupon
I think 5x exp would be nicer then, 8x is too much of a leap from 4x. I think from 4x exp to 5x is a nice change (for events, that is)
And that's my point; if it's so rare to have rollbacks, then it won't make the game easier or anything. It'd be a short 2x event (maybe 2 hours). It's not like the economy and ranks will explode.
