'Tis the season for mindless grinding! Double XP if you'd be so kind please! (Yeah, I'm Canadian Eh)
As the holidays are fast approaching, students and working class schmucks like myself are cuddling up with their computers, bracing for winter, bathing in the warm glow of overheating video-cards, our processors working eagerly to display those epic galactic space battles.
It's that time of year for eggnog and endless holiday festivities - "hurray, the in-laws are visiting".
For those nerds and geeks such as myself, I thoroughly enjoy having some time off over the holidays to sit back and enjoy an MMO or three. I have great memories of the SWTOR launch on December 20th, 2011, I spent a lot of that holiday season glued to my laptop (now defunct - rest in pieces my sweet prince - Yeah, I'm a man, it's not wrong to call him my sweet prince, really, it's fine. Trust me.)
I propose a very simple suggestion for this holiday season!
A Holiday Double-XP Extravaganza
Let's face it, there's been an influx of players due to the launch of the latest digital expansion! Over the holidays, the community is bound to thrive and what better way to keep people indulged in the grind than to offer a week of Double XP, or a 12 days of Christmas Double XP! It'll give existing players a reason to level alternate characters, returning players that feeling of accomplishment as they level quickly, and new players a chance to catch up and enjoy some later-game content!
It was a smashing success over the American Thanksgiving Holiday and I hope that for the winter holiday season, we can see double XP return!
So say I, Rammon (aka Benwick) of Ebon Hawk!
