Regarding Double EXP
After the version update the other day, we were surprised by the increased amount of GM calls we were receiving regarding the amount of EXP for the double EXP campaign [[I'm not really clear what he's talking about here, but he's alluding to the fact that the double EXP mechanism might have been turned on early??]].
Anyway, the campaign will be conducted at the end of this week and I'd like to answer a few questions about Double EXP.
Quote: [[Player asks if the location "all of Vana'diel" also includes "other world" areas like Dynamis, Lumoria, Promyvion, etc.]]
Yes, all those areas are included.
Quote: [[Player asks if adventuring fellows also receive double EXP]]
This is only for player characters. We will consider this after the campaign ends; however, and may do this in the future if it won't create any problems.
Follow-up
Regarding the "implementation period" for the campaign, there were some suggestions that it was too short. Although we are not saying that three days is the best duration for something like this, after we take a look at this with some trial and error, we will move to a better policy.
Also, regarding variations to the campaign, we will consider it. Since we prepared the game to allow future campaigns, based on the results of this one, we will decide to what extent we want to implement these in the future.

Camate said: Double EXP Campaign
Greetings everyone!
I just wanted to take a moment and give a couple more details regarding the Double EXP Campaign that we will be holding this upcoming weekend.
While the double EXP will not affect any experience points gained in Abyssea, you will be able to double your gains in Dynamis, Promyvion areas, and everywhere else.
Also, in case you were wondering, the double EXP will only apply towards your character and not adventuring fellows. However, based off what we see from this campaign, we would like to look into other elements, including having the EXP applied to fellows. Another type of campaign is in the works as well!

Bleh, Dynamis is going to be so packed this weekend. :/ But I suppose that's good for lowering the coin prices for buyers following the glut (if only for a little while)...and I suppose the AH will be stocked with materials for crafters, too. :p

I think the problem was the lack of reading skills.

After playing a few hours tonight with a brand-spankin'-new character, I gotta say, that's the fastest 7k conquest points evar. Game needs to settle down; might have to take it out for one of them fancy make-out dates.
...Y'know, 'cause conquest points help out with money at the beginning... srs, I like how the fewest XP you can get before a mob becomes too weak is 130.
