Double Experience This WeekendJan 20th, 2006 at 1:15 PM by Railus

All players across the server will receive double experience from Saturday morning until Monday at 10am Pacific Time. This message was put up on EQLive in response to the recent player rollbacks. Related Links: - Letter from the Producer - Patch Notes for Wednesday, January 18, 2006 =============================================== Hello, We sincerely apologize again for the problems caused in response to Wednesday's update. We do understand that many characters were rolled back due to actions beyond their control along with those that took direct advantage of the situation. We also understand that many other players that were not rolled back were also affected in indirect ways. This weekend we will be offering double experience to all players. This will require us to take down the servers early tomorrow morning and they should be up and offering the modified experience at 9am PST. This event will run until Monday morning at 10am PST. Once again please accept our apologies for any interruptions this has caused in your playtime. For further details on the problem that occurred and the actions taken please see our previous statement on the EQLive Forums. The EQ Team

Hey bud, I lost 200kpp worth of gears due to rollback, but do you see me whining about it? I don't think so. Losing 100kpp isn't so bad since it is easy to farm it back in a day, or even in anhour if your lucky.

Plus, the exp bouns is sweet so get to busy grinding all your exp/aaxp over weekend. I am pretty sure someone can get around 100aa over weekend with the double exp bouns! :)

How in the world can you LOSE 100k when the only things that were changed were things involving exploited items or items that should not have been available?


Also I take it since you get double experience for the weekend and also if you use the veteran AA modifier, you will be getting 400% exp during that time, bonus!!

Do you people bother reading or listening at all? Character1 exploits merchant, then goes /trader.....char2 thru char10 buy from trader, then go trader themselves, involving 50-100 other people as well....items were tainted by the mere purchase and/or contact with the inital offender...entire shared banks were wiped out (not just affected items)....the plat generated and traded and exchanged in any number of ways was removed. The whole situation was not all that different from the AIDS epidemic in how it can BECOME an epidemic. Ultimately it is the response by SOE that lacked foresight, good judgement, and most importantly common sense.

Don't know how he lost 100k.You could lose 100k by creating a level 1 character and then twink with 100k worth of gear and then get rolled back the next day?

Don't know about that case, i know i lost about 14k worth for armor i purchased at the baz on my necro i had started the night before serverup. Lost 8 lvl's spells, and the gear, AND my shared bank was wiped.

Only had 700-800pp but others had there shared banks wiped as well, and they had considerably more.

People lost 100k because the GM's Farked up the whole rollback system and deleted non affected loot. I am pretty pissed because half of the people I know are affected, but hey, 2x xp, doesn't bother me.

Totally True!! My roomate made a new little twink, went to the bazaar and spent 180k on gear, weapons and bags...got up to lvl 8, and "WIPE"... Found himself sitting in the bazaar, NAKED!! Guess he bought stuff from the wrong Traders... After petitioning, he finds they would not reimburse his losses... The next day, he figures he will eat the loss, and, thinking it is over and done with, He Twinks up his alt again... gets back up to almost lvl 9 and BOOM... he is back in the bazaar again...NAKED!! All they would tell him is something about BETA NPCs and we all had no clue what that was about... Only bought stuff from PC Traders... So, 320k later, he has a naked lvl 2 alt sitting there... Kinda sad for someone who made the mistake of buying from someone who had clearly made a purchase from a BETA NPC... And with the various pieces of armour and weapons and bags, he had no idea who it might have been.. I think that is a bit strong to punish someone that far down the line...And if a roll back is to set you back to where you were before the initial occurance, then why did they not roll the 320k plat back INTO his bank ?? I thought a roll back put you back into the same situation and time that was before this all happened... And by the way, he is not one of those that buys his plat... He has a couple of high lvl toons that worked a lot of hard hours to earn that plat... I feel that is kind of a sad situation... So Sony can punish a few (and a few innocent bystanders, as well) And everyone gets to reap the great reward of double xp for a week end.. I was not affected by the roll back, but I would gladly give up MY double xp for my friend to recoup his losses!! My sympathy to all the other innocents out there who were inadvertently affected by this HUGE ERROR that SONY made :(

All this talk about money... that's the greed that made people exploit the merchants in the first place. What about all the raiders who spent the time in question busting their butts in Tacvi or Anguish or fighting Vishimtar or Mayong Mistmoor...? Then, just before they log, they accept a donation for buffing somebody in the Guild Lobby... Somebody tainted...

<poof> Tacvi boss loot (won with guild Dragon Kill Points, of course)? Yeah, it's gone.

<poof> Quest progress towards Breakdown in Communication completion? Yup. Tongue of the Tunat'muram? Gone.

<poof> Three DoD spell arc missions that you did with a pick-up group, sweating bullets to keep 'em alive as that mob in 68.3 got tougher and tougher? Yeah, gone.

All because my cleric and druid rezzed and buffed tainted toons.

His bad. I am sure he didn't realize your issues held more weight than his friend's did. Whatever was lost, the majority of people who lost stuff worked to get it. I don't know a single person that actually bought stuff from the temp vendors. Yet, I also don't know a single person that didn't get rolled back. Your problems are no greater than his. Regardless of whether it is plat or raid stuff. Everyone lost. You aren't special.

I am tired of hearing oh so and so lost more feel more sorry for them. Or your issuses are not as important as Joe Smoe cause he lost more. God shut up. Anyone who lost anything they worked for, whether it be a lvl 5 who just earned his first 10pp or a lvl 70 who is out of 500k, still got screwed. STop trying to be a sympathy *****.

Weird way to chime in. You might have wanted to reply to the post ABOVE mine considering I took the same opinion as you did. Was wondering why you would be calling me a Sympathy ***** until I realized that just maybe you didn't mean to actually reply to me =).
