No, get with the program Brad. 2XP is the old way, the new way should be x2 threads.

AFAIK this isn't likely as it wasn't something effecting character records.

For those who have not seen or heard this before, this would be the Paragon Studios Official USTREAM, correct?

We may have to agree to disagree; in my case, Leagues taught me that I really wasn't going to enjoy playing my previous main character in the end game. 2XP would let me get a couple of new builds into the endgame in days, not weeks or months. Since none of my 50s are things that I want to grind raids with, 2X threads this weekend would do exactly nothing for me.

OOOO, and we should throw x2 shards in there too!

I don't need double XP or double Threads or all the dumb changes in I20 that nobody likes to be rolled back, or even for PvP to be fixed or bases to be given attention to.
All I want is for the power icons to be corrected. Villain Ancillaries have had many icons with the wrong colors since I18's launch, and there's a great many icons with the wrong... icon. )-:

Would you rather have the people who are fixing this spend their time fixing this, or reading the forums and writing defensive posts about why the game keeps crashing?|

Thanks for replying tho..... |
Programming and debugging require intense amounts of concentration. Impatient complaints from whining customers only distract developers from getting their jobs done. And delay exactly the thing you're clamoring for.
Zwill's job is to write posts and interact with us. The other developers are responsible for making the system run, or overseeing the people who do. I'm always happy to see posts from devs when they have the time to post, but this is not one of those times.
Cut Zwill and the devs some slack and let them get on with it.

This. I sure as hell don't want to hear from the folks working on fixing it over here, I'd rather they keep their heads down and keep at it.|

Asking them to post on the forums at this time would inherently silly.

Flameboxer Aura LVL 50 SS/Fire Brute
Ice 'Em Aura LVL 50 Ice Tank
Darq Widow Fortune LVL 50 Fortunata (200% rech/Night Widow 192.5% rech)--thanks issue 19!

I'm pretty sure the CR team is in Callifornia, so that would have been at around 9am for them.

Apparently the 4/1/2011 post about running out of Xp was not a joke and they keep having to bring the servers down while they make more.
No one has demanded a shrubbery yet?

They obviously need more staff then, could you imagine walking into a supermarket filled with hundreds of customers and having only 1 member of staff on the checkouts?

And we got Ruby Wax, Barry Manilow and Dallas
Well, they are down again. I hate to say this, but I am actually getting stuff done around the house. OH, THE TERROR !!!

How many people does it take to officially tell you "They are working on it?" ONE. The rest should and will keep working on the problem. They obviously don't WANT downtime and will get it back up as soon as they can. In the meantime stand up. Get out of your chair. Do something.|

Abusive posts to the Devs and designated liaison are far from helpful and just make us all look bad.

Also, you do realize Zwill (and Paragon Studios) are in California? And that it's just now about 9 AM there? You know...typical start of the workday...
You do realise it's an international game and thus should have a team working there all any time. so what you're saying is only those in the same time zone matter? Tesco is 24 hours i don't see why there aint 24 hour mods on forums like this, even if they work from home it's only a phone call away.
