I have to say that this weekend was a complete success. I might have done nothing but play RS and eat, but it was totally worth it.
1.3mil Prayer xp
1.7mil Smithing xp
3.0mil Fletching xp
I think constant double should be the standard from now on.
It actually felt like a real double xp weekend.
3.3 Billion xp gained so far. Only 2.1 billion xp to go.
Thanks you so much for this event Jagex, I found it incredibly useful for many of my skills - I actually started planning what I was going to level the day it was announced. Tbh, i was a little surprised to see people complaining about the amount of Bxp/ the whole event. I can understand 99's being frustrated that other's were levelling that skill with a lot more ease then they could have, but seriously guys asking Jagex to stop making it easier for us (for a 2 day period!) is just selfish. Loved this event, managed to gain almost 70 levels in just over 25 hours of play
brilliant, brilliant event.
The server lag seems to be most people's biggest issue, and i agree that trying to train skills such as agility were extremely difficult (i actually gave up trying to level that one to 70 after about 15 minutes). However for the most part the lag was workable. World swapping was the biggest issue for me, as i could actually only use 2 member worlds (out of an attempted 20ish) and both had at least 1400 players at any given time, making the lag rather bad in major areas. TY for the apology regarding these issues, your a great game company and I know you'll eventually sort this all out. I hope the anger and frustration conveyed from many of us doesn't sway you from creating many more events like this
thanks again!
