Prepare for the first ever Double XP and SP Weekend on our Lineage II servers! NCWest is implementing this change as a way to help players reach higher levels so that they may enjoy the ever-expanding end-game content in Lineage II.
The start and finish of the Double XP/SP Weekend will be marked by server maintenance. On Friday, November 5, there will be a short maintenance to start the double XP/SP event, and it will end with the regular maintenance on Tuesday, November 9.
The Double XP Weekend is a server-wide setting and allows players to get twice the experience points and skill points from hunting monsters in the game world. Players of all classes, levels, and account types will be affected by this setting regardless of where they are hunting. Also, the double XP effect stacks with other XP-related items, such as Revita Pops. Quest XP is not affected.
These fun and fruitful weekends will occur again in the future, but the dates are not yet set. Stay tuned for more news moving forward.
Any chance of filling everyone's vitality up during the Friday downtime? If you're going to go crazy with the exp, you might as well go all the way. ;)

+1
But do not only fill up the vit, let us have vitality lvl 4 the whole time.
new event if the last 2events are epic fail?
i looking foreward to see whats happend, btw revita pops? we get it ? 2x XP with no vit is also nearly useless
ffs, i work weekends ( ****nnnn!!! wow... please please please do it 2 weekends in a row.... thats not fair.... omg omg omg omg omgi dont know what to do now.... well ** it....i dont care... its just a game
Times 2 = 700%, that is imba, imma be getting over 2 mil exp a mob. say hi to lvl 84-85 in a weekend.
logging in and logging out with the vit maintaining pots, perma vit 4 for whole weekend on top of perma nevits if u saved them, SWEET.
Wrong. Vit4 + Nevit = 450% which makes it 900% for event.

Ah wondered how many post there would be before the thread went negative.
Appreciate this thanks NC Soft, id just ask at this point dont make it a regular thing just yet. The game is fine as is and doesnt require a ton of these weekends. Once a month or something like that might be fine imo.

Once a month ? Once a season rather...
M
P.S. Chronos doesnt have sieges and TW, lucky *******s...
One double xp/sp weekend per month is more than enought. Thats how it was (maybe still is) in Aion.
Even one weekend per 2-3 months is good and is definately better than one weekend per 6 years.
Again, that kind of events should have started same time they started at Korean servers but w/e, its still good.
Sace..............................................
where was u last weekends? I was on exp for about 30 hour per 4 days, if it was x2 it could be not 600kk exp - 1,2kkk exp !!! :O
I think the event is a great thing but.... Do you guys PRACTICE to do the events on the worst possible times??
Does noone realize that the other weeked is actually siege and TW weekend?
I mean if you play lets say.... 6 hours each day... you would loose 2 + hours on saturday (TW + accounting for repot / preparation) and 4++ hours on sunday (both sieges + repot + preparation)...
Do you honestly pretend players to play for so long periods of time???
I mean... The doulbe xp weekend sounds great but WHY DO IT ON a siege weekend...... It almost looks like you do it on purpose....
Players that want to take advantage of this event have 2 choices. 1- be complete no lifers on the weekend and play 10+ hours saturday and 10+ hours sunday or just DO NOT ATTEND TO SIEGES AND TW.... is that what you are looking for??? I don't get it :S

The only time I play on the weekend is on Sunday nights for about 8 hours, so for me the time I play is on Double XP/SP (not to mention the "event" goes until the Tuesday maintenance) therefor you can also get the double grind in on Monday FYI

What I am saying is that for example this weekend...
there are no programed events... A weekend like the one coming up would be a great time to do it....
What is the point on making it the SAME weekend where you ALREADY have 6 hours worth of AUTOMATED EVENTS going on.......
Lets think about this for a second...
Cabel - Hey guys, lets get together and brain storm. We need an event to get players levels up so they can take advantage of the new content.
Moxie - Lets implement the DOUBLE XP WEEKEND!!!
Everyone - Sounds great when should we do it?
Sace- well lets see guys.. we have the tiger event... then we can do that GM interaction event and then we can put the event right there and then....
Moxie - Sounds good.. Is there anything going on that week end?? anything that might affect the normal gameplay??
Sace - I dont think so. Only sieges and TW. But there is only 9 castles and the other probably dont even participate...... Probably the fact that the 2 last sieges the server was on HEAVY and had record attendences was probably just a coincidence. People were just farming so this double xp weekend comes at the best possible time......
The main thing is that every player will earn twice xp for one week in the same amount of the hours he plays!;) etc!if u play 1h per day in vit 4 u will earn 700% boost!^^ if u play in vit 0 u earn 150% xp!so u must xp 5.30h^^!but u sure take twice boost for 1 whole week!!!In final if u let's say take 10% xp in 1 day,now u will take 20%!:D Sure it will be great event for these who can play whole week!:o
Question sace something about vita pops!will they drop from mobs?:p

Enjoy the Double XP/SP Weekend! :)
Sace,
if someone applies their transfer code on tuesday, does that mean they will be transferred on friday the 5th with the maintenance? or will they have to wait untill the following tuesday the 9th to be transferred?
SO that's 6 less hours of double XP/SP grinding...
You are missing the point that your otherwise completely normal grinding around Sieges will be at a double rate? where is the downside to that?
The downside is that me as clan leader, I am going to have a few different types of situations...
1- ppl that farmed all night and when the sieges comes are either too tired or just didnt show up
2- Ppl that dont have that much time to play and want to get advatnage of the event
3- someone that took a nevit blessing potion that lasts for 3 hours (2 hours before the sige) and does not want to loose it.
What is wrong is that this kind of event is encouraging people NOT TO PARTICIPATE on sieges. Only 9 clans benefit from sieges and TW in reality. Therefor ALL THE "NEUTRAL" CLANS are going to stay xping. Taking advantage that the big clans are going to be sieging. I am on a NEUTRAL clan but I do like participating in these events and I know that it will be very hard for me.
The problem of it all is the lack of thought / game content knowlege. How hard would it have been to THINK ahead and say.. Hey this weekend there's sieges. Lets just leave it for the next. It will be plainly better. It will increase their login during the "low login" weekend and it would not affect the normal gameplay / outcome of the events.
Do you guys PRACTICE to do the events on the worst possible times??
Hi! I had an idea. You can make a decision to go seige OR go xp! Awesome right?
Just so happens the double xp weekend is the same weekend I have to work this month. Ill deal with it and take what I can get from the event. Now quit whining. Its **** nice to see the GM's doing all these events lately.

Yes now that you told me to quit whining I will... LOL
Ofcourse its a great event but you fail to realize you are paying for monthly so that you GET events. By having too many events they affect the normal gameplay. If I singed up for a game so that I could have certain events and the GMS decide to put another event on top of the ALREADY scheduled event I am going to complain.
Not because I don't like the event I am complaining because of the lack of consideration given to the normal gameplay. I am complaining because of how incompetent GMs are sometimes. There are private servers with 0 bots. Korea / Russia have 0 bots and 0 auto pvp programs. Now we have "warnings" .....
They dont understand that if they say doulbe xp weekend. Most people will go out of their way to try to take the most advantage. They dont understand the effect this is going to take on the siege / TW weekend which by the way, the last two have been awsome.
EDIT: Lets not forget... where are our TW badges??
Maybe the non stop events are so that players get their mind of the real issues... Before they started with these events, there were new posts every day about TW wars. Now everyone is happy farimng. They burry 1 problem by giving you events... its almost like saying... DANCEE PUPPET DANCEEE....
Probably shouldnt speak about what Im paying for. What I pay for and what you pay for here are 2 different things. I dont participate in castle seiges. I have nothing over level 79 and thats fine with me. You pay to do castle seiges does not mean I pay for castle seiges.
This is another bonus on top of what you would have been doing that weekend anyways.
Now if you cant organize your clan enough to drop the pve for a bit and show up to a seige thats something that I nor NC soft can help.
Speaking of bots I can say I have seen considerably less. Thats a good thing. Should make you happy. Progress is normally considered a good thing.
TW badges? I had 60 I think. Not interested in TW's either.
Weird how we all play the same game but for different reasons huh?
To me its sad, letely we have seen an effort from the GM's. They are trying to keep the players happy. For years people asked for double xp weekends, soon as its announced someone has a complaint. This "me" generation thats playing this game quite frankly sucks.
Tired of reading negativity when the game is fun again.

If you read closely, the double xp weekend is because all the new content of the game is 82+
The average population of the server is between 78 - 81 so if you are not part of that average then the event should not be focused on you but on the average. If you make an event make sure that the average population can take advantage of it without affecting their normal gameplay. That is so logical seems stupid I would have to point out.
If you are selfish and only care about yourself thats your problem. If you are playing the game just to get a cute way of chating with other people that is your problem. Although I have my own generated opinions of what kind of player you are I will try not to make any assumptions about your persona and stick to the facts.
FACT: AVERAGE player base is not you. I am part of the average player base.
So if you are not part of the player base refrain from talking about things you do not comprehend.
This one coincides with sieges on your server, the next one would probably happen on our ( EU ) siege weekend. Thats if they do more, which I hope so cos people have been asking for these for ages . In the end will even itself out hopefully.
ps maybe you are right we have had too many events lately. Personally I would rather have this one any day over that tiger thing or Gm Elpy that happened for last 3 days /nights.
you mean which dont happen at all for the MOST ppls on the servers. So far on Naia i hear only for 5 !!!! ppls which got teleported for gm elpy hunting..... Thats sad isnt it ?

@Sace, could you please tell us the time when the server maintenance will begin and the event will start? Morning or evening?
@Tagheuer it cannot be prevented that this event will fall on a siege weekend, since the sieges are divided on the different weeks on Naia and Chronos. Naia will not have a siege weekend, so it will be no problem for them. If you are mad that they do it on your servers weekend, ask them to do it again on a Naia siege weekend. But don't complain about something that is inevitable, I hope you enjoy the event the most you can.
About sieges, if they do event same time there WILL be sieges at least on one server. That can be done separately on the 2 servers, one week naia, one week chronos.
However, big clans that fight for castles and all wont probably worry about exp, they are all 85 and 100% already.

Honestly, do we even play the same game? I'm in one of those lvl 11 clans that fights for castles, and avg lvl is 82 or 83. Even Nova doesn't have across the board 85 100%.
Not saying that I care that it's on a siege weekend, cause tbh Double XP/Vit Pots/Nevit's > ALL, but let's not pretend that the servers are full of 85/80/80/80.
if someone applies their transfer code on tuesday, does that mean they will be transferred on friday the 5th with the maintenance? or will they have to wait untill the following tuesday the 9th to be transferred?
No server transfers will be processed during Friday, November 5th's maintenance. Applied server transfer codes will be processed on Tuesday, November 9th.
To answer another popular question:
The downtime to turn on the Double XP/SP Weekend will be short, an hour or less, and likely be Friday morning (Pacific Time). We will post a maintenance notice with exact times as we get closer to that date.
ill never understand why ppl r so grateful for a couple of days "bonus"
its like polyfiller pastes over the cracks temporary fix but doesnt change much.
sace i really wish u ppl would stop throwing virtual candy at us and actually lvl the playing field in a more permanent way either ban bots or make it acceptable because the reality is they are the ppl the rest of us are trying to keep up with.
If u were effective in excluding cheats no one would whoop at an exp event cos anyone with a brain can see it applies to everyone = no advantage :-S
One of the reasons that some ppl choose this game over others is that the content isnt (didnt used to be) just aimed at end game yet u continually try to make us all 85 clones ><
hey tag are u forgetting that NO MATTER WHAT WEEKEND IT IS THERES A SEIGE?
just this time its chronos. NCSOFT cant worry bout that. its the same as complaining cuz i work night shifts lol.
ppl have choices get over it lolol
LOL
if that is the case... would it take a ROCKET SCIENTIST to figure.. hey the xp event is this weekend on NAIA and next weekend on CHRONOS to avoid this issue??
I really don't care for the event that much, its just the lack of attention to those things that piss me off. I am not complaining about the event I am complaining about how they are throwing "virtual candy" as pix say to comouflage the other issues.
If you can do sieges / TW on different weekend you can definetly do XP events on different weekends. IT MAKES SENSE to take that into account. Rather than the conformist solution: O well this time we are screwing chornos ppl next time NAIA ppl will get screwed... Why does someone always need to get screwed is what I dont understand.
NCSOFT cant worry about that?? are you serious?? what do they have to worry about? traffic?? who gets elected president.... THATS THE ONLY THING THEY HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT. The game play......
Its ok. lets see what happens that siege weekend. May be siege fields will be less laggy.
I still insist... Looks like staff is spending lots of time and resources on this events and we are missing the real issues..... Like TW badges....
Yayyyy, hey, this is great! After all the turmoil from the server merge, we're getting some good events, and it seems like we're getting more of them too. :) Yeah, I' didn't get any elpies either, but the punkin head was fine. Keep up the good work, guys.

no good work yet have been done....we need our TW badges back :P and crops/fruits/seeds
ncsoft will do what they want. Ur paying for entertainment. If u feel ur not being entertained, u only have 1 course of action. Quit.
I for one was against mergers. I hate the traffic, i hate the struggle. I just wanna hit my mobs and log off. But I knew it was inevitable. I tryed it out after mergers, found out i can still play my style, so im still entertained.
So i didnt quit.
But to rage over something u cannot change will kill u lolol #1 cause of heart disease.... stress :)
well when one spouts off stuff w/o even thinking that this has been happening for many yrs (all vit events have fallen on siege times on BOTH servers) this is not a new concept lol
me thinks someone is speaking b4 thinking first... a true sign of raging hehehehehe
ps: im not perfect in this one either hehe i have been known to rage up as well :)
No server transfers will be processed during Friday, November 5th's maintenance. Applied server transfer codes will be processed on Tuesday, November 9th.
We haven't received the schedule for the Friday maintenance yet, but we will post a maintenance notice beforehand.
Love the event but Hate the scheduling. Seige weekends :confused: I only get to play during evening times. I will be seiging both seige times and doing territory wars with clan. So yeah this is great for all the nuetral clans. But honestly scheduling an event over an event???
plz hold off till week after seiges plz plz or do 2 weekends in a row. I would atleast like to do some xp on a free weekend.

Bit slow are you? I fit between 78-81 so that would make me a part of the average population
Heres a thought Tag. Be a clan leader and get your clan to show up to the seige. If they dont that is your problem and yours only. Your problems dont make me any less of an L2 player then it makes you.
thank you for nice exp bonus, it sounds great but i want to watch this from a bit different side.
for those who want to get fast level etc this event is kind of critical to be online, because it makes goal closer. yesterday i was exping for 6 hours, i got my brain meltdown. game have also announcement about choosing healthy play times etc, but now its like a forcing to be online not healthy and even sick amount of time...
i am almost sure many players there will be on auto those 2 days...

Only pure nerds have problems like this. "forcing to be online..."
Since no high lvl toon can have vit4(or even 2 full bar)due to constant clan activitys,this event will be powerlvling for low lvls.Give us revita pops so we can feel the difference too!
1. Player after Eventannoucment = :D YAY
2. Player in Event = :confused: (vitalitylvl after 1 hour = 0 and not 4 all the time)
3. Player after Event = :( pwn3d

I say we have a new forums event where players attempt to post ideas for events that will make everyone happy, and other players complain about those ideas until everyone gives up and stops trying.

But "perma vit 2" weekend is still better than "perma vit 0" weekend, isn't it?
this whole thing is just stupid why did anyone even bother to lvl up to 85 a year ago now there making it so easy you dont even have to try hard anymore might as well play wow where you can be top lvl with out tring hard
this whole thing is just stupid why did anyone even bother to lvl up to 85 a year ago now there making it so easy you dont even have to try hard anymore might as well play wow where you can be top lvl with out tring hard
this is just fine....worse would be the next step (im pretty sure that by NCSofts understanding of ingame balance not avoidable) is that by creating new character you choose also starting level with options "75..80...85"... lol... only thing that makes me happy about the screwing this nice game from NA/EU NCsoft team (incompetence as GM and customer service) that when they close the last 2 servers (Korea has 31 ? lol ?) they will lose their jobs and i hopefully will see them in coal mine or in an dirty hotel as room cleaners.... they deserve nothing else...
It is natural that the GM's want people to level a bit faster as the content being added is end game content, and they want people to be able to experience that, as well as getting people high enough to do the mass raids.
Obviously if we compare the leveling now to leveling in C1 there is a massive difference, but if the leveling remained the same, no new players would ever join, no players who quit would ever return (like me) as they wouldn't be able to ever close the level gap. Now they can close the level gap, and the people that have been playing longer will still have the advantage in the form of epic jewels and generally more wealth.
While I appreciate the concept of "I worked this hard so everyone else should" I don't think it is a bad thing that the low levels are now over much faster to encourage newer players, something most people agree this game needs.
True. use your 10 min vitality,and then see an episode of some series for the rest 20 mins.
Did u really ate all u lolipops from elpies event?!! lol...i still have 23 left on some toons :P
Sace i also have a question, well i know it says Double XP/SP Weekend! but with this growth in lvls (and i mean for lower ppl who in D grade/C/B or w.e.) they will grow quick, but what about money and resources? would it be possible to x2 Adena drop atleast? ohh wait, no it wont work :) lol the market will crash ((( ahhh well i tried
Does it double any exp you receive or just add base mob xp?
For example if I have vitality 4 and 50% recommendation bonus (4.5x rates now), will that be 9x rates or only 6x?
Also, does increased amount of xp also increase vitality drain speed per mob?
I am thinking that the base rate will be double - if not then it would be something like 9x if you have the bonuses stacked... I hope it is the 9x way :)

take it this way, on 50% bonus with 4 vit u get 120k exp and 35k SP per kill and with this weekend x2 XP/SP u will get 240k exp and 70k SP....simple...i hope lol, but this is the way id see it )) and anything else when they say x2 :P so the question about vit points go down is pretty good one, and im not sure about that i hope not...! and i think its only on mobs exp, no quest included :P so i guess many ppl will kill tiat and zaken this weekends :) hehehe
It would be nice to get an official answer on the double xp from Sace or another official.
Will the double xp be based on the mobs base xp?
will it double your vitality level bonus too?
will it double the Nevit's bonus effect too?
I am thinking of buying the Blessing Priest thingy that extends Nevits on several toons for this lovely event but it is a lot of money if the double xp doesn't stack with it :confused:

Why would this matter in any way whatsoever?
It's a double exp/sp event. Why cant ppl just be freaking happy about it?
No, lets pick it apart, analyze it, ask stupid random questions, and then QQ when it dont meet EVERYONES expectations.
Love the event but Hate the scheduling. Seige weekends :confused: I only get to play during evening times. I will be seiging both seige times and doing territory wars with clan. So yeah this is great for all the nuetral clans. But honestly scheduling an event over an event???
plz hold off till week after seiges plz plz or do 2 weekends in a row. I would atleast like to do some xp on a free weekend.
Thanks.
Neutral clans come to sieges too. Also, at least us, doing TW like crazy, 4 chars each account, because we need the money, nobless status for oly farm (more money) and TP as well as fame for clan skills. Only dead clans dont participate.
this whole thing is just stupid why did anyone even bother to lvl up to 85 a year ago now there making it so easy you dont even have to try hard anymore might as well play wow where you can be top lvl with out tring hard
Dont get me started... We all know how most ppl got level 85 before, they had it easy, we should get some help too, however this is not a solution, the real solution would be to ban bots or scare them out of botting, if the next level cap will find us still entrenched in the old thinking "bots save the game", it is as good as dead.
thanks for all events i have 18 revita potions left , 141 * 10 min vita potions , 11 * 30 mins vita potion :D
rawr iam glad i was greedy to use these so i can get good use of the event with these ones :P
I have similar amounts :) Not to mention some chars i make noble now for oly have 10 from haloween last 2 years :)
this is just fine....worse would be the next step (im pretty sure that by NCSofts understanding of ingame balance not avoidable) is that by creating new character you choose also starting level with options "75..80...85"... lol... only thing that makes me happy about the screwing this nice game from NA/EU NCsoft team (incompetence as GM and customer service) that when they close the last 2 servers (Korea has 31 ? lol ?) they will lose their jobs and i hopefully will see them in coal mine or in an dirty hotel as room cleaners.... they deserve nothing else...
It's a double exp/sp event. Why cant ppl just be freaking happy about it?
No, lets pick it apart, analyze it, ask stupid random questions, and then QQ when it dont meet EVERYONES expectations.
Greedy little -_-s.
Because those that get nothing want something. The L2 group has a long history to overcome, and that's because most 'events' are crappy or not as good as they could be (mainly because it seems the staff doesn't know much about the community); so when a chance comes to suggest an event that would ROCK! then people want to help make it ROCK! as much as possible. This group of L2 staffers seem tons better than in the past and since they ROCK! we'd like to see their events ROCK! as well!!!
I always wonder why some people state to just be happy with what's given and don't want to throw out suggestions to help help something ROCK! instead of accepting something that is below what it could have been. It's been my experience that those lackeys are rocks.
I am thinking of buying the Blessing Priest thingy that extends Nevits on several toons for this lovely event but it is a lot of money if the double xp doesn't stack with it :confused:
Why would this matter in any way whatsoever?
Have you actually read what was asked?
The double XP/SP setting is being applied to PTS today. Currently there is no character creation boost on PTS; all characters would begin at level 1. However, some of the GMs will test the higher-level-relevance questions.
Its kinda weird. The persons who are against this event or QQ-ing about this, are close 85 or are already 85,9 for months.
Would be nice if moxie or sace logged in friday evening euro time to do gm buffs like last monday or even better login a few times a day to do it :P. So you have vit4 just before the double exp/sp weekend start. What your do after is your own decision ;)
After taking a look at the double XP/SP setting on PTS, we've determined the following things:
It is double XP regardless of base-mob XP. That means that, with whatever vitality bonuses you have on (including Nevit's), you will get double that. If, normally, you were to get 20,000 XP from a monster while you have Nevit's or vitality or whatever, you will now get 40,000 XP instead. :)
Therefore, the double XP setting stacks with all vitality items. It does not replenish your vitality. Quest XP will not be affected.

It's still good at vit 0, as long as you have the Nevit's pots. Nevit's pot gives +50% xp at vit 0 (150% xp), and the event doubles that to 300% xp. Which is the same as vit 4. So it's the same as a birthday buff before they introduced the Nevit's stuff.

Because SourPussSmittie, I dont want to waste money on buying the nevits blessing at 5 million a pop on several toons or waste vita pops/maintenance pots if they don't stack with the double xp :p I am not QQing just asking if it stacks, and Sace answered it does :D
I am Very Happy with this event so take your sourpuss comments elsewhere :p
ps: Thank you for looking into it Sace, you're da bestest :D
Well actually if u have vita 0 u get 0% boost on xp:) so if doubles xp and have nevit buff u go to 150% which is vita 1!not 300%=vita 4!;)
At vit 0, you get 100% xp (not 0%, that would be zero xp for each mob). Nevit's buff gives 50% of the standard+vit xp more, so 150% at vit 0. Event doubles that, so 300%. It's not hard to calculate, 1 * 1.5 * 2 = 3.
The vit description (when you point at the vit bars) in game has been misleading for ages, e.g. vit 4 says "experience points boosted by 300%" (which would be 4x xp), when it should say "you get 300% of the normal xp" (because what it actually gives is 3x xp).
can you tell us more specific time of maitenance when this amazing event will start?
I'm not nolifer, so I must schedule my irl program to be nolifer from exactly time :P
Is it true, that during this maitenance will be apply transfers which was already processing from last maintenance?

yes, and also if you kill Baium he drops double Rings
when you level up you jump 2 levels instead of 1
and every time you create a character another character is automatically created
But downside is if you die once second death is added :(
After failing craft 2nd fail is set to 100% :mad:
One double xp/sp weekend per month is more than enought. Thats how it was (maybe still is) in Aion.
Even one weekend per 2-3 months is good and is definately better than one weekend per 6 years.
Again, that kind of events should have started same time they started at Korean servers but w/e, its still good.
hahahah omg... next Double XP event 2016 Cronica 21 lol
Coming every 2 hours to buff and give vit 4 is uber but...
why not in all toons that are in the town?I brought my main and my buffer and from the 3 times we saw message,main got buffs+vit4 first time,main got buffs second time,main got buffs+vit4 third time and buffer got only buffs second time,never got vit4 :(
Please remember that the GM buffs and vitality replenishment buff are a courtesy; you are not obligated to come get them and we do not respond to demands to give buffs. The double XP/SP weekend was never guaranteed to include these buffs; it is a bonus that we try to give to players when we are able to come around.
The time intervals between GM buff rounds will be longer and irregular over the weekend. As you've seen, when the time for buffing grows near, you will see an announcement and players will have some minutes to get to a Gatekeeper (in all towns except for starter villages), where the buffs will be given.

well thnks a lot we know its not permanent but plz give more vit till tuesday and also on morning and midday. we are xping so much and this vit is a gift from god and give us too much happiness to play more to your game :D
I keep missing the gm buffs... so frustrating!, play for hours then take a break and come back to see gm saying bye again :p makes it even more painful to use up the vit maint pots earned from last event T_T
Double XP/SP where gms replenish your vit and give uber buffs that last an hour... (something they have said themselves is a bonus that wasn't even originally planned)
AND PEOPLE ARE STILL COMPLAINING?!?!?
Yes!
Because they love QQ!
QQ, event suck I haven't got Anty! ;)
----------
Seriously nice event.
I would just add it would be VERY kind if apart of auto-rebuff-tool real GM would come and have small chat :)
But ... no real problem.
Great event but could you organize better when gms announce to give vit and buffs near the gk? don't just gather all there and you dont see anything,form a line or something.
For the record, I was just expressing my misfortune - I think GM's have been doing a great job recently all round, and the event is ofc great!.
It would be nice if we knew at what times/intervals we could get the vit to save time, but maybe the randomness is part of the excitement (as with many other aspects of L2).
Great event. I'm curious, though, why the GM buffs feature Haste and VR instead of the double buff. Strikes me as odd. Not complaining, though. ;p Would be nice if we could get this event often.

vit is sweet stuff when combine with the xp/sp boost! It took me 45 mins to go from vit 4 to vit 2 and I made quite a bit of xp/sp :D
I got had a nevit's blessing extender thingy potion, and newbie buffs, went to port out, got GM buffs, and they overbuffed my nevits ><. Not QQing, was frustrating, but i Lol'd a lot xD
very nice event ^^ thx for that, but after we got at starting time yesterday buffs and vit at4 all few hours...today we see only 1 gm at morning and 1 at evening...in annoucement gms say we are soon back..whats soon ? all 10 hours? or all 12 hours?...will be nice u say ppl im back at that or that time....its horrible all ppl stay at the GK in main towns and chars cant port away, coz to many ppl stay there arround and wait for buffs......thx
I love this event even tho I don't have much time to play, but... Next time, please, do not give buffs near GK. It's making use of GK impossible not only when you announce it.
1. Patience... it only is like that for a few min then we disperse and xp.
2. easy really all u need to do is set up some macros. Cuz giran is so laggy i have been /target clarissa, /attack clarissa for about 6 months now :) easy way to get port window open even when u cant see the gk :)
AWESOME Event guys!!! Wish we could have had some like this all along. It is a huge improvement to see the staff talking such a personal interest in this game.

Next event :
Gatekeepers are half-dead because of the "plz buff" they were hearing for the past 3 days. Support the gatekeepers by giving them headache pills and glasses of water (dropped by monsters).
Rewards:
(I wont write here because all will QQ :D )
This is a great event I am having so much fun xping. I want to thank the gms for logging and refilling our vitality it makes the event even more enjoyable. I hope you will repeat this event again in the near future :D
