When exactly does 25% xp end?

[Gornn]

Tomorrow night at 12 am?

I'm curious. I'd like to get in as much as possible before switch gets flipped and then I can go back to the shroud! hehe

[Dumpsterhumper]

I hope the answer is "never" because it's a nice little treat.

[Tolero]

The bonus XP will be departing on Wednesday (looks like in the morning, as it was turned on in the morning when it started, so far as I recall). There's still time for more questing between then and now, chop chop!

[Laprion]

so this has ended today just started a quest and it was gone

[JFeenstra]

yep, it's off

most definitely did NOT get my bonus 25% for gwylands, although i did from necros lair about an hour before

[Lorichie]

Its only tuesday isnt it? Did i sleep too long last night ?

Nm, apparently I cant do simple mathmatics in my head

[Laprion]

well it was meant to be off today i donno if Tolero got confuse and thought wednesday or because of down time they said they was gonna add another day but forgot i don't know have to wait and see

[Kreaper]

I missed 36 houser because of the "clearing old connection" bug and another 4+ yesterday. Can I get my days back please? That's a lot of missed bonus xp. Eh, oh well. Them's da breaks.

[ColsonJade]

Thought you said wednesday because it just went off on Tuesday.

[Oreg]

Lame. If a store advertises a sale from the 5th through the 11th do you expect the sale to stop the morning of the 11th? NO!

Turbine, Seriously why do you do this to yourselves? You open yourselves up to criticism over the stupidest and mostly easily avoidable things. The original post clearly said the Welcome Back week and 25 % exp would be from the 5th - 11th.

Very poor form!

I am disappointed to say the least.

Yup, very bad call.

Here's what the announcement said:

Sounds to me like if I log in ON the 11th, I'd still get the 25% bump.

All I know is I got alot of leveling done on multiple characters this weekend. Woot!

Just this once, I'll side with you on this.

We have been trained, by the real world, that days begin at 12:00 am and end at 11:59:59 pm. No more, no less. It would have been better to follow that standard, but I guess it's too late now. It is kind of strange picking an arbitrary time to turn on a feature and then turn if of 7 days later at some other arbitrary time. What happened to automation? TV has shown us that this automation is possible.

Heck, Semi-Trucks and Jumbo jets have been controlling themselves for years so that truck drivers and pilots can have cocktails and sleep.

Not only that you copied my avatar so you could be more like me

Honestly I can't see anyone siding with them on this one. I even challenge Dane to come up with a defense of this one. Very poorly played indeed.

This is a game dude. You could also read 5th - 11th as the 5th TO the 11th. Which means from the morning of the 5th up to this morning, which is exactly what was. I got tons of XP this weekend, had a great time and attented one of the best live events I've seen in any game ever. Nice job Turbine.

The problem with that arguement is the quote from Tolero that stated Wednesday morning.

Yep. That was a goof up.

This is what I get for not looking at a calendar and not sleeping >< the 11th is correct and lo and behold, today is the 11th *sigh*

Actually, 5th TO 11th is only 6 full days, and, last I checked, a week is 7 24 hr days. So, for it to be a welcome back week, it should have lasted through today until tomorrow morning. That is a bit goofy, but I still had a great time.

[Oreg]

I enjoyed it as well. I am just really disappointed that they did this as it would have been no big deal for them to actually leave it up all day today, the 11th, especially considering that it didn't start until 12:30 pm EST on the 5th.

Whatever. Based on the lack of interest and outrage in this thread most people either a) don't care that it is over or b) never cared that it began.
