Can we have a 2x EXP event at launch day

1. A lot of people are pondering whether to play this one or K****, it will be a great way to bring more players to Nostarlius

2. Vanilla leveling takes avg 9~10 days /played time, (world record is 5 days or something), which is about 30 days for normal players

3. Having a 2x event for few hours won't change the server's pace or give people disadvantage, it will make more people happy and invested into the server

I personally see no harm in this, it's a great way to attract 100+ more players to the server early on, and it doesnt hurt the server in any way.

If you are going to use the 'authentic' argument I honestly have nothing to say, it's not 'blizzlike' but it doesn't make a big difference anyways.

Or maybe give a level cap to something 2x exp till level 30~40 for the launch weekend.


Editted the thread with more updated info, the leveling speed is based on WoW 1-60 speedrunners such as:http://www.furiouspaul.com/pc/wow/speed-runs.html

Maybe it would attract some players, but at the same time, it would probably cause a lot of the dedicated players to bail.

Well, it will take even the most dedicated player 8 days /played at least (Previous world record run was 6 days 17 hours on a hunter) which is 96 hours, I don't really think giving everyone few hours of 2x exp will do you more harm than do you good.

plus its exp for everyone, on average it takes players a month to hit 60, I really don't think a day or two will do the server bad

no stop it

why do people insist on making this server less Blizzlike just so they can hit 60 faster?

Because Blizzlike is a strech term, I can think of 8000 things that isn't Blizzlike about playing a private server with all BiS lists completed and all classes researched fully and all leveling routes analyzed 100%
and having 2x exp for 24 hours doesn't ruin 'blizzlike' any more than the reasons above and about 8000 other things I can come up with.

It's not Blizzlike and Vanilla is supposed to be hard.
