Rook here, Diving into the realms of the main forums and wading through the oceans of text, I bring you fun and educational news! There seems to be a rumor that the coming weekend of the 21st through the 23rd this month, XP gain will be altered for the better. From the thread, it seems the current XP rate will be doubled! What brought about this rumor? Well, a couple of things. One being the post made by CuppaJo in this thread where she states that the double experience system would be activated for testing purposes thursday morning on the test server. The other being a news article on mmorpg.com with a few more details and speculations to the reason.
Turns out though that the XP rumor is quite true! CuppaJo has confirmed the rumor in this portion of the thread. In addition, the article on mmorpg.com can be seen here. As stated by CuppaJo, we should all expect an email on Monday with more details on the event. So clear your weekend schedules and break out your alts that are covered in dust; its time to hit the streets!
I just came from the main boards myself and it does look as though this is for real, Cuppa stated that we will be getting an e-mail about this on Monday. On a personal note, I work 12 hour shifts 2 on 3 off and so forth, and as luck would have it I'm off this weekend!!
SWEET!!!
