I agree. +1

I think maybe 1 double xp weekend per month or 2 separate days.

I don't think it should be excessive but a little boost every now and then would be great.

OOOH , on the spot mate. Like have a Mining/Smithing double xp day, thieving and agility. And slowly rotate them throughout the year.

One thing I'll never understand about private servers is everyone cries about account parking and multi logging but every other week there are double XP events. I know none of the replies in this thread relate to PKing but if you give people double XP that's what they're gonna do.

pretty much. i know next double xp i plan on making a bunch of pkers if im off work.

That's what gets me mate, that's your given right along with everyone else - I just fail to see the logic in trying to combat char parking cos' double XP's just make it worse lol. But is what it is, glad you agree

What is character parking? I like that idea noxX! Specific skill double xp days. It would be nice to get a little boost here and there for supporting the server

Logging out and leaving your characters in the wilderness, the issue people have with it being people that own masses of PKers have a huge advantage because they can die and just log right in on top of you and kill you with a fresh character which is why I'll never understand personally the need for double XP because it only makes matters worse. If anything there should be a fixed XP rate which is a meet in the middle of the XP now and the double XP rate, end of the day though there's not much that can be done to stop people making characters be it on double XP or not, some PKers just have the time to do so regardless of the XP rate therefore will always have a huge advantage, the only people that can stop it is the players by realizing more fun could be had by playing differently or the admins implementing a system making it impossible to ''park characters'' in the wilderness

edit: I don't even play here and I know your thread is about double XP for skilling, sorry for hijacking your thread, I agree with you though double XP skill days theoretically would only bring good things (more skillers making more supplies to sell to the pkers)

Ohhh, i was speaking as a non pk-er and non multi-wildy player.
