Thanks for the double xp weekend jagex it was fun almost pulled off my 99 defence from 96 and yes i had some tough times logging into worlds but i geuss the way i feel thats just like going to a mall on black friday its crowded and takes time to check out all you can do is learn from it and try new ways to make it go by faster and as far as bots i am so sick of hearing about it they will take care of it one thing i will say "EOC" is a terrible idea lol just thought i would say that!!

Please kill the flat rate XP next time, it's not really fair to players who cant no-life through an entire weekend...
Also, and i know its probably very difficult and not possible on a game such as this but it would be so much better if the bonus xp period was specific to your local time.
As much as id like to stay up all night long im no longer a teenager with the will to do so...

"You can be sure that our next big game event will be better, smoother and more fun than ever before."
I find this quote quite interesting... it was said a few months ago that there would be no more "bonus" exp, but now the staff have instituted the Double Exp weekend.
does the quote above suguest that the community could be looking forward to yet another one of these collasal days?

Maybe the problems with logging in/overcrowding wouldn't have been so bad if Jagex hadn't cut the number of worlds down after the 2011 Bot Nuke. Jagex should have also surely known that there was going to be a significant increase of accounts online during this weekend, right?
Also, since there doesn't seem to be any plans to correct the failed 2012 Bot Nuke, I would suggest that Jagex re-open the closed worlds to allow us legitimate players more options to avoid the botters.

I am glad to see Jagex recognise there was a lag issue & promises to upgrade their servers.
BUT
This is not the first BXW we've had and never was there a lag issue as there was this time.
I personally could not tolerate the one-step lag and went and played other games over the weekend (I had every intention of spending every possible moment training Dungeoneering too).
I did notice that, during the peak times over the weekend, there were about 150,000-160,000 players online, which is way down on the 200,000+ there used to be on EVERY day of EVERY week years' ago. When Worlds 1 and 2 were more often full than not. And there wasn't the lag then that I encountered over the weekend.
So... What was different?
BTW Jagex, the lag was constant, ALL the time, on ALL worlds. Not just peak times on some worlds.

I want to be part of the Runescape community, I really do. But I realize involving myself too much (~posting my opinions frequently on various threads) just isn't going to do anything for anyone, just like everyone else. Do you think our opinions really matter to Jagex 'n' pals? ...No. Plus it would probably end up with me being muted.
But simply: (since all of these have been repeated over and over in personal detail...)
Thanks for the apology!
I'm sure bots were a factor.
The Farming issue was lame.
KEEP RS2 SERVERS OPEN!
And if you really are going to be having a "next time", others had variations of this idea, but, for example, have bonus XP hours. Like 24 hours of bonus XP that are only used up during actual game time.

So, you say our opinions are worthless to post on the forums and then you post an opinion/request? I'm confused.

Thanks for responding to those who had difficulty logging in. I know you were overloaded (and I had definite lag and log-in issues), but I appreciate hearing that you'll be upgrading in order to not have the same issues in the future.
I wasn't able to play much over the weekend, but I really liked the flat-rate! It was much less stressful (I didn't feel I had to optimize every minute of the first hour, but could travel and not feel I was wasting time).
Thanks for an amazing game!
