Can we have a 2x EXP event at launch day

First:
You have for sure read forums here,
every idea of tinkering with server rules is facing strong negative response.
Thus this is your proof as per community general response.

I don't know about that. I'm sure that you have you seen the amount of threads from people asking for non blizzlike stuff recently. Seems to me that only a somewhat small, but failry loud minority actually responds to these threads. So the fair thing to conclude from that would be that most people seemingly don't care, while a somewhat even number of people want it or are against it. Now do I know that for sure? Of course not, but I'm not the one makeing assumptions in my arguments here.
I hope you see now why you can't generalize like that.

Second:
Because Nostalrius is a vanilla server that aims to be as similar to retail vanilla as possible without the need of extremely intensive development effort (those guys are fans, not paid Blizzard employees thus for example talents setup)

While I really don't take a stand on this issue, I have to side with carana and say "it's not blizzlike" isn't an argument. And if blizzlike means "aiming to be as similar to retail vanilla as possible without the need of extremly intensive development effort", then increasing the exp rates surely can't be an issue, since it takes absolutly no effort at all to change it!

Here's a quick tutorial:
1. Open your mangos' config file
2. Search for

Code: Select all

Rate.XP.Kill    = 1
Rate.XP.Quest   = 1
Rate.XP.Explore = 1

3. Change the 1 to whatever rate you want it to be
4. Restart your server

Done! This takes 10 seconds max! So, going by your definition, why do you see this as a problem?

Meh I'm just gona go to sleep, its 3:30AM here in Japan already..
+I'm tired of responding to people just spouting buzzwords like NOT BLIZZLIKE!! with no reasonings behind like they are 14...

It might not get passed, it might
if it does lot of people I know could get interested, if not, no big deal

...for real?
4 pages thread for this "retarded" suggestion?

Please, don't feed the trolls....

[TheLockKing]

Perfect example of mature, well thought out arguments to something you guys disagree with. Glad everyone here can be adults when it comes to suggestions even if you don't want something to happen.

Now excuse me while I go scream at my fiancee about how curry for dinner is stupid.

[Strife]

Still not as bad as the 6 page bait thread on griefing at world bosses.

[DrunkenEnvy]

Lol. It's simple really. Why the heck should people who get to start early get a bigger headstart than they already have?

[Ike]

He made many good points in his entry post and throughout the entire thread. Now you should answer why people shouldn't, without using "it's not blizzlike", since that doesn't mean anything. This is how discussions work, you know?

[Guirssane]

Yeah! instead of ending lvl 15 at the end of your '2x exp opening event' you'll end up 20.
That is said, it's just useless IMO. If you want to rush, do so, but do It with 1x rate.

so you have proven that

1. It will make no big difference
2. wont really matter to you

why not do it anyways then?
I have already said, it might bring alot my friends who are tired after many low rate vanilla servers come back, and this shouldn't be just my friends, vanilla private servers have been a thing for ages and some people are tired of it

If you don't like the vanilla grind, just don't play vanilla.
WoD came out recently, sorry I try not to be rude but I just don't understand your point.
Here is an argument : We want everybody on an equal footing, If people come after this event, they'll not get It and it's not fair compared to those that had It. Happy?

Now excuse me while I go scream at my fiancee about how curry for dinner is stupid.
