2XP in AE - yes or no?

Just to check, does double XP work in AE? I figure I'd take lowbies on runs through my arc, but it wouldn't be fair if they'd get better rewards outside.

If it is like other years, there is no double exp in the AE.

Ah, okay. I seem to remember there being 2XP during the spidermonkey farms, but that might just be senility catching up to me.

The only time I remember double exp in the AE was the first time it was done when AE first arrived in the game. By the second time it was said to be a bug that they didn't have the time to fix and there has not been double exp in the AE since.

I could be wrong too, I am getting older very year this game stays active. =)

Double xp is achieved by setting patrol xp to 100% (instead of the normal 50%) and then making everybody's patrol xp status on. Since AE doesn't use patrol xp there is no bonus xp given in AE durring double xp weekends.

I don't think it is. Double XP existed before Patrol XP so assuming the two are related it's more likely that Patrol XP leverages the double XP code instead of visa versa.

But this would have no effect on prestige and influence, which are also doubled during double xp

Thats....pretty wrong.

But we'll go with it.
