Did someone send a 2xp schedule to my family

armylife1124 · 07-27-2009 07:13 PM

I am convinced that someone, possibly a former studio involved with the game, is sending schedules of 2XP weekends to my family members. Last time it was my father-in-law coming to stay for a week, and this time not only is my father coming out of the blue, but my sister-in-law and her husband are coming.

Now my wife completely supports my playing the game, but when family is here she doesn't like me to be anti-social

I just want to know who sent the sechedule out to them..lol

That is why I think they should give out tokens for your toons that you click and you get 24 hours of double XP kind of like the debt protection present from a while back

Ok done ranting, going to try to cancel all plane flights out of Denver and Jacksonville for the next seven days...lol

[/ QUOTE ]Giving you double XP isn't what double XP weekends are about. Double XP weekends are about bumping concurrent access numbers for the marketing people, which theoretically helps NCSoft stocks. Giving you a double XP token doesn't do that. Making you get online at a specific time in order to have your double XP does.

I've had similar issues in the past. Either I had to be out of town, I had company visiting, or I absolutely HAD to work because I was not aware of it early enough to request the time off. This time, as soon as I knew the date, I requested off. This will be my first double xp weekend that I get to participate in and I'm stoked.

It was me. But in my defense, they swore it was so they could play. I had no idea they were really using that schedule to coordinate visit assaults upon you. Honest.

Wow, this usually doesn't start until people get locked out of Freedom.
Not gonna happen, chief. It defeats the whole purpose of Double XP Weekend.

Me.

My grandfather passed away, so I'll be spending the weekend 700 miles from my computer.

I might get a little bit of time in on Sunday, but that's far from guaranteed.

Honestly, I don't mind. My grandfather's funeral is FAR more important than any video game will ever be.

Wait ... so you mean you people don't have a secret room you hide out in when people come around?

O.o

AS it was hinted above, be sure you have an alt or two that you like on other severs than Freedom, and maybe Virtue.

Otherwise, you will spend much of your time trying to get logged on.

An aside:

anti-social

[/ QUOTE ]
Anti-social is not the term you are looking for here, it is asocial.

Antisocial refers to a diagnosable mental disorder that is classified on the DSM IV-TR as a Personality Disorder. Basically, it equates to a sociopath or an up-and-coming homicidal maniac (okay, not really, but it gives a very stark and memorable picture).

Asocial, is far more innocuous and simply means not wanting to be around people, or prefering solitude.

Sorry to tangent, but it is a pet-peeve of mine and I hope to educate there are a lot of people that have no idea there is a difference.

I was one of those people, and thanks to your post I can now rest easy in the fact that I am merely asocial, not a borderline sociopath.

Now go away and leave me alone!

My home away from home is on Pinnacle, so I don't think I'll have any problems. That, or I'll just use patience to log on my beloved home server of Virtue, and stay on the same character all day.
