In the very least I am happy to see you at least aknowlege the problem. Let me tell you a 3 seccond world lagg destroys any hope of achieving any good construction xp/h. ALSO not sure if it were related to the server lagg or what but the farming ticks were really messed up only got to plant half my trees...

Lag was rough and login difficult at times. However for what the event was I was willing to take a few lumps.
I appreciate the event I appreciate the acknowledgment of the issues and I appreciate you'll take the data from this event to make future events even more awesome.
Thanks for you efforts,

Normally, after something like this weekend (lag, log-in issues) I'd be coming here to complain, and rightfully so.. Due to the fact that you're openly admitting and apologizing for such, I'd like to say thank you, but I'd like to say a few things.
Firstly, the lag was not just certain worlds, during peak time, or crowded areas. It was literally everywhere, even inside of dungeons at Daemonheim. As there were many people on for the first time in what seems like years, this is mildly understandable, but please: If you're going to apologize, at least apologize for what's actually happening rather than just some of it. :P
Also, the log-in issues were the biggest problem (for me, at least.) It would take 10-15 log-in attempts to get onto any world, at any given time. Switching worlds was even worse, which normally resulted in entirely closing the game client and re-opening - Then STILL having to log-in several times before it worked.
All in all, it was a good weekend. I'm sure I racked quite a bit of xp, and I got quite a few summoning levels (though painstakingly.) Thanks for apologizing, and thanks for the double xp.

For the record, I didn't so much mind the lag as being unable to login.
This has been a problem long before the weekend, please fix it. It always makes me think I got hacked and someone is playing as me!

I only got to play friday night and saturday morning, but the entire time it took me several tries to log in or switch worlds. At some times i had to shut down my laptop to make sure i was disconnected and logged out. This is something you should really look into fixing. although, i didnt get to play during dxp weekend, im glad you guys keep up the new events.

A lot of the lag seemed to clear up when you were logged on for a long time.
Moving worlds was a bit of a hassle, but I can't say I was completely locked out for more than five minutes or anything.
I mean, I enjoyed to Double XP and all, but it's crazy that it allowed some players to get up to 99M Experience in Summoning alone... Just one day of it!
One other bother is that Farming patches seemed to take longer due to the tick delay. I don't know if this was the real cause of it, but Magic Trees should not all take 12 hours to grow.

Other than those few, I had a good time and racked up more hours than I should have. Thanks for the apology.
