Jagex, seriously?!? This is getting so pathetic now and the only reason I might not mind so much is that players who missed out on the DXP weekend last November can benefit from it now (if they have the time that is). XP here, XP there, XP for all go go go go! I would just love to monitor what goes on in your offices there at HQ just to see how monkeys concoct these silly promotions and 'out of the arrse' ideas.

What I think needs to be done is this, stop with the dxp/bxp weekends you are devaluing any1 else that has 99's/max/comp/(T) comp players. also wth is with being able to just buy the elf city recipes..... what about instead of a bxp weekend how about a compensation weekend for players your messing over that worked for their lvls?
like u know the well of goodwill is awesome i think its great, but really max comp trim comp get nothing out of it anymore but feeling devalued.

Many of you have noticed that this Double XP Weekend is quite close to the last one in November, and have expressed concern that Double XP is becoming more frequent - even that it might become the norm.

That's certainly not the case. We won't be running more than a couple of these a year.

We wanted to run this Double XP Weekend in conjunction with GameBlast15 - which is set for February 20th - as an extra way to encourage involvement in the charity event. Coupled with the fact that the last Double XP Weekend was a little late, this means that the gap between them has been shorter than usual.

After GameBlast15, there'll be no more than one other Double XP Weekend in 2015, and – should we run one - it’ll be much later in the year. To run them more frequently than that would make them less of an event, and nobody wants that.


While this is technically true, you fail to mention all the other xp promos you throw out during the year. Last year we had double xp weekends, the enlightenment and festive auras, and what felt like countless treasure hunter promos including:
silverhawk boots, prismania 1 AND 2, smoldering lamps, meteors, skill cards and I'm probably forgetting a few. You also tend to throw a large amount of lamps at us for holiday events now.

With all these promotions and other events, it's already 'less of an event.' and the ones after this will be as well if you do continue to run them. The fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, Fulton, and the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
