    Default Increased XP weekends

    Just got back to the game and my play time is low, I could really use one of the xp weekends I have heard about. I am wondering where I can watch to see if any info is posted on upcoming xp weekends or days or anything!

    Afaik they are used when unforeseen downtimes occur or on special occasions. Not regular however. You can check up on facebook, twitter and so on.
    If you want to fix the game, start with the most essential part: The Community...

    The pop could really benefit from a calendar for these events. I understand why they don't want to implement 2xp all the time, though I disagree with their reasoning. A coordinated, published, planned xpbonus schedule would be huge. Players that want to return as a group could coordinate their return together for an event such as 2xp.

    I agree, I have friends, both new to the game and old, that want to return or start playing but they're waiting until an increased XP event so they don't have to spend much time hunting rats, aggies or cyclops. even among those who haven't played the game, they know the early levels aren't too fun and want to avoid it as much as possible.

    I understand not wanting to be having increased XP events constantly, but I really think having them once or twice a month could really improve the population and provide the community with the fresh faces it so desperately needs.
    Playing on Saturn on someone elses account.

    I'm so poor.

    Honestly its not that I mind killing aggys its that I had gobs of free time back when NC was new and now I don't. I am sure others are in the same boat. XP events will help us get back into the game with at least one char!

    Yeah, a career with a wife and 3 furry kids is a shitload more demanding on my time than work/school. I probably play as much in a week as I used to in 1-2 days.

    I fully agree, I've started Neocron with a few friends and some want to quit don't wanna cap. A XP weekend would help us greatly please hold a weekend soon. This game is pretty old, can't see a XP weekend hurt it in anyway... It's this sort of thing that vamps up the player base not hurt it.

    Their response, from recollection was that there would be much lower populations between XP events.
    To be honest though, that's just tough luck with the age range for this game.

    Why are your children furry?


    Seriously its not a bad idea in some ways as it will plant the hook in people like what was argued in the brainport thread. Battlefield 4 has it with double xp weekends for premium members (suckers who paid $60 US) so i dont see why it couldnt be done for this game (which we pay zilch for)

    Correct. We use them to let our players make up for lost time if we have an outage and when we have something to celebrate like the release of a patch, a holiday or something like the release of our new website.

    What about +50% xp weekends? Keep 2x /3x for celebrations and attract people on free time with little increased xp
