It's a good option all in all. I'll think some more on it.

As this is always asked about in game, unless Dru indicates otherwise, my calculations show:

Tues, Apr 18, will be the last full day of Double XP.
Sat, May 13, will be the last full day of the reduced leveling requirements.

These are calculations based on the date of the first post. Some of them may be grossly off, depending on what dates Dru was referencing when he put everything together.

Dru: a lot of folk are wondering when this gift you've given us will cease. If my estimates are off, please do not hesitate to {toast the post|respond with corrections}.

Thanks to both you and Shan for working hard and donating your time to keep us playing.

You might mean Sat, May 15

I thought you might be right, but I'm looking at my "May 2006" calendar in Outlook right now, and Saturday is the 13th.

I don't know what year you're looking at.

And no, I don't mean April 15th. Dru said "40 days" for the reduced leveling requirements.

I was looking at April.

No ear biting OR hair pulling.

It's funny you should say that ...

I have an indentation on the edge of one of my ears that I'm not sure what it's from ... could be a bite!

And as far hair pulling ... you're welcome to try.

Dang, I come back after another break and I thought that I was actually doing good :[ Oh well, I guess I'll just have to take advantage of the double xp while it lasts :]

Double xp ends tonight when I head to sleep. Frag em while you got em.

Wasn't it for 15 days starting April 4th? Regardless, I've enjoyed the Double XP quite a bit.

I think he's been more than generous. Let's review my situation as a case study:
Code:

Before Crash     Just after crash     As of tonight
 BotFodder:  92        ~86               99
 BotDoctor:  25        0(5)              33
 BotBooster: 0!        0!                28

The differences in BotFodder and BotDoctor, had there not been a crash? BF might actually be up a level. BD would be down a level or two at least - I wasn't playing him near as much as I played BF. And BB probably still wouldn't exist ...

It will be interesting to see how the "level"/"total XP"/"Stat Points" all work out. I've heard theories that those of us benefitting from lowered XP requirements will loose levels and/or stat points. But as far as I can tell from Dru's message, only the Double XP is going away ... he's apparently keeping the relaxed requirements for lower level leveling for the time being.

Its all good. And those days have been very cool.

Thanks a lot Druid.

Altough, its gonna be hand now to adjust to the old XP system hehe.

I had 10 days in my head for some reason. I'll continue it for 15 days from the 4th just like the post said. It's not going away tonight.

Aw man, my poor hand

I swear along with the tendonitis sneaking about I'm going to give myself carpal tunnel.

(I was planning on taking a break for a day or two when the double XP ended)
