Blurr has it. I think it was just a "Thank You" from Sigil to those people who are going through a rough time for the game right now. I don't think you should read more into it. Now on a separate note, I find it very interesting to contemplate how much XP they should give to players to make them enjoy the game and feel they are progressing. They have to cater to both the hardcore and the casual so picking this balance must be tricky. I wonder are they using some elaborate data mining tools to figure that out.
It either them cleaning up their mistake with the stupid initial ideas they had with Debt, Xp Debt, Missing Experience Bonus, Mob Bonus, etc. . .I mean honestly, they had to be complete morons to pattern the experience in the way they did. Mainly because people were running out of content. . .and because they game had the worst grinding ever. . .in interviews the devs were saying how they wanted people to do the quests. . .but at many times in their levels there were none to do or they would need to go to a completely different continent. . .
Or it is them trying to keep a few accounts or to solidify their current # of subscrips a little more like how CoH/CoV does. . .I would probably say it was the former after realizing they did not send out any emails to us stating that this was a D XP event

As for Business Majors? After 20 years in the workforce, I can say that by and large the only thing a business major is good for is... hell, I can't think of anything they're good for. They definitely make some of the worst managers I've ever had the misfortune to work with.
Ok, they're very good at speaking in buzzword. If things like Team Synergy are your bag, then they might not be totally useless.
As to the lawl thing. It's just further proof that, as a country, the U.S. is getting lazier, and in all likelihood, stupider by the day. When I get work related emails from upper management featuring text smilies, and the occasional 'lol', we're in dire fucking straights indeed.
1. I can knock any strat i dont like. b. Youve missed the point of the MMORPG. Unlike Half-life the game is unbeatable. End game is often the highlight of MMO's. 2. I can insult whoever i dont like.
You should have an interesting future in business. Not a profitable one mind you, but interesting none the less.
Did the OP mean LOL? What does lawl mean? Isn't that the sound a cat makes? Here pussy pussy.
LOL is the acronyn which has spawned a new word to the english language "lawl." Although I dont agree with the OP its obvious the author is more in touch with the current form of English language than you are.
Back on topic, sort of. There are many of us in game who actually believe the levelling rate in VG is far too fast already; and yes I did less adventuring this weekend because of this event. Even so I got my main 2 full levels (20/21) and 2 new characters to 8 and 6 in a total of about 5 hours.
So you are claiming that a word isn't a word until it's in the dictionary? And then you are saying that I know very little about english based on one statement i made? Do you make decisions like this on a regular basis in real life without any thought what so ever? If I were your mother I would eat you.

A business major in college who can't even grasp the simple concepts of capitalization, punctuation, or proper sentence structure.
Prepare for a worldwide depression if these are the hands business is being left in.
Your first sentence is a fragment and your second sentence ends with a preposition. Are you also a business major? Nope. I never claimed to be. I didn't show up spouting poorly structured nonsense under the guise of being a glowing example of higher education.
Are you going to defend every semi-literate troll that shows up here?
Well im currently a business major in college so i took the time to really think why they would give double exp. Ive come to the conclusion they looked at the few days with the highest in game population and highest subscription ending dates. A funny thought though is this. 2x exp would make the game more fun. Hence making it a big deal, doing it on the weekend, and advertising for it. So why the F dont you make the exp faster ALL the time. You wanna make real world money dont you sigil??? If you disagree with me youre not a business minded person. Anyways...i had a couple days left on my buddy key so i figured if 2x exp would make the game worthwhile. Nah i played for about 2 hours, got level 8, saw 1 other human player who didnt respond to my repetitive hello's and said id rather go get banned in some counterstrike servers for my lewd sprays and trash talking. Way to keep the game immersive sigil...way to keep the game immersive.
Once in a while I have such a student like you, arrogant, "knows it all", naive and simple minded. Its always fun testing these kind of students in the exam & bringing them back to the ground, especially when they come up to me and ask me if they can write their final exam. If you connect your business major with double exp and the result is your statement....all I can say is you got to really start learning and taking part of your classes!

What, this isn't the WSJ Editorial forums? Thank you, Amazing Kreskin.
However, the original poster was the one the made the big deal about being a business major. AKA Look at me, I'm smarter than you! Call me crazy, but if I want my opinion to be taken seriously, internet shorthand isn't the way I'd choose to express it.
I was taught better than that, I guess. But your right. Expecting people to communicate in a coherent manner is unfair. Let's all just remove our frontal lobes, and start posting like it was an AOL chatroom, instead.
Because who the hell wants to be taken seriously, anyway.
You know what makes me laugh about the double XP? (putting aside the dact that they really need to keep subscribers now that the 1st month is up)
It is Brad who said a game should be fun at all times, and not only the end game .... etc etc etc, more Brad BS talk ... So if the game is supposed to deliver at all times, why chose to speed up the progress?
For someone with a business degree (EDIT - Working towards a business degree), I think you've missed it. Double xp doesn't make the game fun. In fact, more xp just means you "beat" the game all the faster. There is no race to the end. The key to making the game more fun is to make the player completely forget about xp all together. Make the game engaging and immersive enough that the amount of xp you get is irrelevant. Any company that can do this has a winning business model.
I Couldnt agree with you more, whoever can accomplish this will have a TRUE 3rd generation MMO on there hands... As it is now Vanguard is a slighty different version of EQ2.

I could be wrong, but it was a clever way to see if xp gain needs to be tweaked. For all we know Sigil could be wanting to up the xp on mobs and was curious how it would be received.... so they decided to test it with a dbl xp weekend.

So now your claiming language is a function of time? And what is english, what the few educated speak ? Your protestant aren't you?
I dont really care myself i never killed one npc the whole weekend i take my time when i play mmos and make sure i have enough gold for the best of everything for my level . Dont laugh it took me 148 days to get my rogue to level 60 in WOW insane or what , Am level 14 in vanguard and one of the highest blacksmiths on the server oh i also have 48 gold so double xp means nothing to me

Because MMO developers don't have brains and don't want to make money.
I am fully and completely 100% convinced that this is a FACT.
