Personally, I believe a x2 exp event would be more successful and meaningful for players.
With a free sub week it doesn't even come close to x2 exp rates, if it was x2 exp people would be more likely to BUY subs in-game and on the store to stack on top of that.
People with subs don't get a real benefit from this kind of event. I think the server and players would benefit from a x2 exp event, there would be an increase in sub sales and if you didn't have subs it wouldn't really make a difference, you could still play any character at x2 exp. The perk would be having subs on top of a x2 event, increasing sales of subs in-game and server would be almost certain considering people would want to stack subs on an x2 exp event.
Good for the economy, player morale and even server revenue when people want subs or want to add more to sell in-game JUST for a x2 exp event.
The free sub is a nice perk, but I think we could benefit much more from a x2 exp event.
No bro.. xp rates are already boosted in so many ways compared to RSC. plus we just had two 2x weekends..too much 2x is not good for the game. Also sub prices are already down in game cause stakers have been buying mass amts of them
Noca, almost every point you just made, is total bs..
Don't compare RSC to RSCR.. Those are two different worlds other than the fact that they look exactly the same.
Too much 2x is not good for the game..? There hasn't been a 2x event in 2 months or so. I agree that TOO MUCH 2x is pointless, but regulars of this server have come to expect 2x exp weekends after every month or two and they are actually preparing/buying supplies for that time. They are mostly subbed anyways and giving sub benefits to multiple accounts doesn't really matter to them. I've been a regular to this server for 2,3 years and for a year, I only played a little before and during the 2x weekends (especially holidays). That means I bought subs for that period. I know many-many older players do the same. It's good for the players' motivation to play, the economy and of course the owners who are making dolla-dolla bills.
Now you ask: WHAT ABOUT THE NEW PLAYERS? Giving sub benefits during advertising campaign is the way to go. They can first enjoy the server with full benefits and then decide if they want to invest more of their time and money into this.
Everything else about the event sounds cool, looking forward to it.
