When is this +25% XP gonna kick in? Sitting here with 2 cases of Mountain Dew and enough hot pockets to feed Somalia for a week.  Let's go!

The Brits might lose time today, but they'll pick up time on the day that it's turned off, so it all works out.  Also, fuck the Brits.  They burned down the White House and invaded Canada and killed all the Indians in the War of 1812 and stuff.

My guess is that it is usually around 10:00 because that's when that the guy who does it finishes his coffee and finishes checking his email in the morning.

Been watching the dev tracker, pretty sure no one ever said. My bet is Monday as usual, though.

Does it seem counter productive to anyone else to offer one of the biggest XP bonuses ever on the same weekend you open up the BETA for your huge expansion?

America invaded Canada twice! They're honestly worried we might try again a third time.

Yes.  I think there is a reason for it.  This way they can say, "Well it was in the first beta, why didn't you catch it?"

I mean seriously, why else would offer such a large xp bonus?

I figured it was just to preemptively stop the whining from people who aren't in the beta.

You don't think it might keep people who would otherwise be checking out the BETA on live running TR's.

Nah, they would monetize that by saying if you buy the pre-order today we will let you in.

Nah, a weekend vs a month or more isn't really that big a deal. But then, when I say finish, I mean take the toon sitting at rank 88 and knock it the rest of the way on out. Not crank out a whole extra life.

You do realize BETA's for something this large generally more than a month.

So, you're the type of person who find it perfectly logical to launch a beta then disincentives your players from participating in that BETA.

No, I find it perfectly logical to launch a beta while simultaneously making it easier for folks to get to the level's required to assess that beta with level appropriate gear.

Do try and read more than 3 words at a stretch. I know if makes your head all hurty, but put the effort in.

You are aware that the Dev's can give away XP on Lam and do so pretty much every patch.  They have even set the XP bonus to 200%.  A live XP bonus isn't necessary to get characters leveled.  I can talk slower for you.

And neither character bank, shared bank, or tr bank make the transfer. So by all means, assess the difficulty on your nekked powerleveled 20 toon. I'm sure that'll give a real clear picture of appropriate difficulty there.

You are incapable of emptying the bank before transfer or using a mule.  You have only one capped character.  You must be gimpier than Snooch

I'm also willing to bet the first thing they open in Lam will be Druids and it will be in the existing world with none of the Epic stuff.
