I think every Friday 21:00ST to 22:00 ST there shold be a "Happy Hour".

Now you might ask what is a Happy Hour?
its a +25% Gold/Exp event.

The general idea I think is good but for the people who cant go on at that time (work... sleep etc) cannot go on which makes a disadvantage.

ya, i knew this would happen...i think if this gets implimented it MUST be On a weekend or a friday.and maybe we can make it so that the start-finsh time changes randomly.

maybe 5% extra xp, but not gold, not a bad idea. :)

Edit: What if the time of day was random, so that everyone got a chance eventually.

~The TV which Jmcclain is speaking on goes into a blur~

Okay, continuing the speech, I lean more toward the NO than the YES.

No one mentioned stam. The original poster said gold/xp.

Maybe HCS could make it a half-day event once a month. That way everyone would have the opportunity to benefit.

True, but however extra gold/exp requires extra stam to get. So, its technally giving more stam

Not really. If HCS implemented a bonus xp/gold event, it wouldn't require any more stam than you already have. I guess I don't understand where you're coming from. They have done events like this in the past, just few and far between.

good idea but no it will not happen dont forget into play that people all arround the world play fallensword not only players from us. a certain time to have "happy hour" could be like 4 pm for usa players but like 2 am for other players..


also this will cause major major lag just like the legendary events

sorry, for the above mentioned reasons, i don't think this is a useful idea. while i would love to see it, it doesn't seem to have a "reason" for implementation.

hrmm... i prefer the xp event we had on the 1 yr anniversary, and i think that's good enough, if we had more of those than the LE events, that would be fine... a weekly happy hour would simply cause me to upgrade 15k max stam and save up and spend it all at that time every week, and so would the other 50 people above me in the top 100 and we'll just keep pulling away in lvl....

personally i don't think we need more ways to make more xp, but more ways to use our stam effectively in game would be better... i enjoy doing the quests and i'm going for quest gold, some hunt SEs, some do bountys, some just pvp... if we had more productive things to use stam on (like how in real rpgs there's more to do than just lvl up), i think that would be much more exciting than a weekly xp gain event...

Increased xp/gold events are only useful if they are a rarity.

If they occur too often they cause hyper-inflation (due to the huge increase of gold that is suddenly floating around) and players can level up to quickly, making it harder for HCS to keep up with updates.

In Neopets, the 3rd day of every month is half price day. This means that every item restocked in each shop is listed as half price. Perhaps teh Cows could dedicate a special day each month for a 10% gold/exp.

QFT

I like having these events, but not often.
It reminds me that those up there *points to the top 250 players* gets to level even faster, and gets even more gold. Lol.

Anyhow, I wouldn't mind one of these as a special event on occasions, when something special happens.
