I know I don't have a great grasp of English, I speak American - which is notably different from the language Jagex speaks.

https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/c=vwcN6rh-pLU/double-xp-weekend-extended (fill in the blanks that the filter is going to take away.

It says, at the end of the fourth to the last paragraph:

Alternatively, if you prefer, you’re free to enjoy Double XP Weekend just as you always have done! It’s entirely up to you.


So if I understand this. We get 36 hours of DXP if we spread it over 10 days, but as I've always done, I get 72 hours if I do it all in the first weekend.

That is what it says, right?

No. This was clarified on Twitter by a JMod stating that you won't get 72 hours if you grind it all out, it'll still be 36 hours no matter what.

Original message details are unavailable.
If I skill for 72 hours on the weekend, will I still get double XP?

Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.

Jagex have a responsibility to their players not to encourage that kind of insanity.

Why you still care about xp beggers belief.

Why you still care about xp beggers belief. This.

One of the JMods on Twitter said that only 1% or so players did the full 72 hours, or even did over 60 hours during previous DXPW's. They came up with the 36 hours over 10 days as it promoted a game play flow of around 3 and a half hours per day of gameplay - which is far more healthier than promoting 15 hour+ days over a weekend for 3 days...
