    I, for one, like double exp events. Normally grinding for many hours is god awful, sickening experience, but if it its double exp event, it is exciting, even though it is basically the same god awful, sickening experience. I will also buy some XP boosters and make it more than double exp event for the ultimate excitement, even though bonus stacking will be probably broken, but that is to be expected, given how difficult is to make bonuses stack. Perhaps I will buy even some scamboxes, once I verify that the basic concept of random stuff in a box is not as evil as gambling haters say.

    I can definitely see myself getting some alternate weapons up to 50 during the event. Of course, I'll be traveling for much of the event, so we'll see how useful it actually turns out to be.

    I just saw double XP will come back tomorrow. I bet, tomorrow, tons of PPL will show at each Dark Anchor. :D Come on, ZOS, pls make some patch to stop Dark Anchor grinding, don't let double XP ruin the game.

    People are already grinding the Anchors cause of the One Tamriel sets. Ever since they were brought in you can't fight an Anchor without twenty other people showing up.

    Uh. Do anchors even grant that much XP? People crowded there during the previous festival for the skulls. Not for the paltry XP. If you want XP but don't want people crowding you, Maelstrom is an excellent private-instance grind spot.

    Pretty much this.

    People farmed dolmens because it was like hitting two birds with one stone - getting plunder skulls from bosses and new item sets from one tamriel. No such thing as plunder skulls this event, so I don't see why dolmen farm population would increase from what it is currently.

    Won't find too many people doing the dolmens in Cyrodill ,well I didn't on the last event plus you get the added excitement of PvP action too

    @White wabbit When I ventured into Cyrodiil to get all dolmens on my EP PvE character, on a map that was more or less all yellow, I kept expecting to be ganked. But it never happened. I'm assuming next to no PvP players go near these things? The campaign was active too, so it wasn't a campaign that had finished. Even managed to get some delve clearances in to because I grew in confidence. I only ran into 2 others and those were fellow EP players.

    I'm just going to do the quests on all my characters everyday and try to get all of the things on at least 1 character. If I do that, and have time, there is one more character I have that I need to power level, so this might inspire me to do it. But leveling her isn't the main thing I want to be doing.

    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    I was under the impression it would be a double xp event. That does not seem to be mentioned here.

    Huh. I did not pay that much attention when it was on PTS. Was this the case back then? Otherwise, I would not expect it.

    Yes. I believe most expected it would be based off that. Some kind of keg you drank from that gave increased xp for 2 hours. Drinking again would refresh the buff.

    Oh, gosh. You're all right. There is a keg that you drink from that will grant double XP. We'll get the article updated as soon as possible to reflect that (extremely important) bit of info. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!

    Yes double XP again, maybe I will reach 900 CP by the time this is over. Time to roll a couple of new characters I guess.

    No wonder there are so many players out there with 200-300 CP who have no idea how to run a dungeon. There have been so many increased XP promotions going on that people are leveling up before they can learn how to play properly.

    I created a new character during the witches festival and reached level 50 inside 4 days - and some would call this slow! If a new player levels their first character inside a few days, there is a more than a fair chance they have not learned the game, do not know the dungeons and do not have a great build.

    They then complain when the they get kicked from PUG's, the dungeons and world bosses are too hard and need nerfing, etc. All of a sudden the game is full of elitists snobs. Reaching CP160 in a week or two does not teach you much about the game.

    Ha ha, the game doesn't teach you anything about itself. No proper tutorial, it was bad before 1T now it's even worse now. Xp boost isn't going to hurt or help either way. The forums are full of proof, just read some of the comments asking for this or that.
