Can anyone tell me why I worked so hard on the weekend, and then realized that I was not getting double exp for my prayer! I dont understand if prayer was not allowed the double exp, or just my prayer! Really infuriating to realize all that playing was for nothing, well, not nothing, but, you know....

Yeah, it was a great weekend! Very choppy/laggy. If you logged out it would be hours before you could log back in. That was the most frustrating part for me. I would have liked to have gained a lot more xp.
If you really look at it, because of the delays and slow servers, we basically got our normal xp per hour when you count the slow response and time spent trying to log in. I was able to use up all of my charms though, so for that I would say success.
The way to make it right though would be to have another double xp weekend, or maybe a single day, BUT don't do it until you have your servers prepared to handle it.

Oh yeah. The biggest fail was all of the gold ore I bought only to realize you actually gained less than the normal 1x xp gain! That was a major bummer for me.
I mean think about it! You actually gained LESS xp if you smithed gold bars wearing your gauntlets than on a normal day!!! Let that sink in....

Thanks Jagex for the weekend bonus. Yes, there was some lag but overall, the weekend was good. I'm happy you learned where some of the weak points are and will further improve the game by addressing the issues that created the lag. That'll make the next event even more successful. I hope there will be a next event. I had a good time and certainly logged more hours than usual.
Was good to include the F2P too. Perhaps you inspired a few to sign up for membership because they enjoyed the extra benefits? Hope so.

Click here and type your message:
We are spending our hard earned money to play this game and we should be able to log in properly and play with no lag! If you want my money you better get your act together! And who is the jerk that put the ghost in the East Ardy house that no one could get into to dismiss???? Happy Halloween??????????

As a network tech, in my day job, I have a grasp on production server SLA's. Typically in an IT environment, testing and preparing for future upgrades adds a large overhead to an already taxed system and oftentimes detracts from the client experience.
It is refreshing to see the creativity you all apply in enhancing the client experience during these process which will ultimately lead to a more improved reaction time through future updates. It is unfortunate that some players had issues with logging in to such a hectic period but from everyone I've spoken to, overall, it was a positive way to find the potential weak points in your delivery model.
As a long time gamer and Beta-Banger from the pre-28.8 era, I continue to appreciate the content you provide and especially enjoy the community like atmosphere found in most areas of the game and even here in the forums.
Thank you for finding a way to, for the most part, better our collective experience of Runescape both today and into the future. If only I lived across the pond...
