This weekend, starting at noon PST Friday, through Sunday 11:59pm.

Double gold and XP for successfully vanquishing a zone.

(All zones this time, not just EOTN)

Lamest weekend ever, we need moar double glad/ha/champ.

Steboy93 · Jan 29, 2008, 08:43 PM // 20:43

Nice idea but not exactly the greatest theme for a weekend.

StormDragonZ · Jan 29, 2008, 08:44 PM // 20:44

Now that means missions don't count. Regardless, I wont be participating this weekend. Elite Skill capping comes first.

MercenaryKnight · Jan 29, 2008, 08:44 PM // 20:44

Double xp is pretty much useless, double gold is I guess somewhat nice? Would of been nice to just get a double point weekend, but hey then again we could get nothing.

Turtle222 · Jan 29, 2008, 08:44 PM // 20:44

it is not lame...it encourages noobs to explore the gw world and show them something other than OMGWTFBBQSAUCE HM & VQ IS FOR TEH NUBS I <3 TEH MISSUNZ

virtually the entire reason to vanquish is for the rep and their titles, and that's mysteriously not included

more bad moves that leave me wondering who's in charge of these things

Isn't vanquishing only for hardmode?

**cosyfiep** · Jan 29, 2008, 08:51 PM // 20:51

this is for real? I thought it was a joke, but it really IS a joke......so instead of getting 1000xp for taking an hour or so of you time to kill everything in a zone you will get 2000xp, yeah right I will run out and clear all those zones JUST for that,

NOT!

most of my characters need more xp like I need another hole in my head!
oh well, at least it means I can ignore the 'special' weekend again.

I support this week-end even though I have long ago completed all vanquishing there is to do in this game. I just wish it had come before certain PvE skills removed all the prestige there ever was with the Vanquisher titles.

KamikazeChicken · Jan 29, 2008, 09:03 PM // 21:03

I only have Elona left to vanquish, so I guess I'll try and leave just enough zones to take me through the weekend. :\

schaapie · Jan 29, 2008, 09:04 PM // 21:04

Well i like to see that Areanet brings in new kinds of weekends, but how much can you vanquish in weekends, i maybe 3 areas but thats the top. That means maybe 5000xp more and 3k gold more. Well that is not so much, i geus the people with more time can get more. But what the heck a new weekend is a new weekend and i like Areanet bringing in new weekends and new stuff.

quickmonty · Jan 29, 2008, 09:09 PM // 21:09

So, I read threads asking for something other than the "SOS" weekends. They come out with something different, and those that aren't interested go QQ

/thread failed

moko · Jan 29, 2008, 09:12 PM // 21:12

i like it, gonna encourage me to vanquish the rest i need finally. :P

Navaros · Jan 29, 2008, 09:12 PM // 21:12

These double gold rewards should be the standard gold reward for Vanquishing a zone at any time (ie: not during events). On double Vanquishing events, it should be double the amount that is currently the double rate.

Anyhow I find it funny that so many call this weekend lame and yet there are many way more lame event weekend events, that have been done way more often, that never get complained about and instead get praised en masse (Ie: double XP for capturing an elite skill).

rofl, nice weekend ^^

a few x2 = not much

Not really, the point of vanquishing is to VANQUISH and get the VANQUISHER title. It just so happens that it also lends itself well to getting rep points due to the large amount of kills.

Considering I got 2k from vanquishing Drakkar Lake, double gold will mean I'll be getting 3k or so from normal sized areas, so I'm happy. Some of us aren't ungodly rich like you :P.

Lady S Shiva · Jan 29, 2008, 09:30 PM // 21:30

vanquishing is boring, how about double kurzick and luxon faction from killing (ab or monsters)

Rift · Jan 29, 2008, 09:32 PM // 21:32

This is great timing since I'm currently vanquishing.

They could have definitly hit the 3x button for this one though

Or even x4. Yeah, a nice gesture (they could do nothing

) but x2 seems really... paltry.
