I think the next weekend has to be Double Lag Weekend... the preparations have been going on for a while now.

Scrolls and Survivor doesn't really count. When you start a new character in Cantha and do a few quests you automatically get some Monastery Credits. Everyone of those can be exchanged for a scroll so ever since you've started your character you'll allways have enough scrolls to go 24/7 under th einfluence of experience boost.

So yes, count me in as one of those that regards this event as absolutely pointless and of no use. Yet i've still got to say it is better than nothing, it's just nothing for me (and probably a lot others by the looks of it).

Wow, this is a disappointing event other than for power-levelers.

I guess we shouldn't be inspecting that gift horse...

wouldnt really call this "fun"...all i predict is that scroll trader will run out of scrolls, the price of em will go up, and pwr lvlers will make a killing :P

sad i dont pwr lvl...just get bored to fast lol

To all those of you who say its better than nothing: does that count when you add up all the rare gold drops over the weekend and they are all scrolls?

That's only true if those scroll drops actually replace or reduce other gold drops and/or a green item. What if that gold scroll would've been a white (raven staffs, anyone?). Now that gold scroll is looking pretty nice.

heh..more like double YAWNNNNNNNN weekend

when I opened guild wars this morning, it took an extra 20 seconds to open, I knew there was a new update. It finally loads to reveal the dredded yellow text on the right hand side of the screen. I have suddenly started heavier lagging, and the update hasn't happened yet.

VitisVinifera · Sep 08, 2006, 01:25 AM // 01:25

man oh man......anerf is jumping the shark now. Double scroll weekend? Sheesh, that just means I get twice as many 100 gp blue scrolls, and rare scrolls will probably halve in value, so those won't change.

Cmon anerf, you guys can be more creative than this.

edit: someone a page or so back mentioned that there's been a scroll drop increase already. I noticed the same last night farming bosses. Way more than usual. However there was an identical and opposite effect on gold scroll prices.

There will be more trolls killed then humans, stars, characters in the game and living things in general combined . . . .

Don't really care about scrolls as I've never used them. They still seem like the pet project of some Anet bigwig instead of a well thought out game mechanic.

Well, as long as they alternate the PvE and PvP fun weekends I'm OK with the PvEers getting their time in the sun this week. But next week better be something more interesting than 6-man tombs. I think the Team Arenas need some loving.

"Double your fun" conjures images of making all leavers and arrogant n00bs declare themselves as such before entering a PUG, not getting some extra XP or a tiny bit more cash.

Getting the silly hats and odd items are the only decent idea they have come up with. Everything else seems to change the economy or be a little disappointing :/

Alfrond · Sep 08, 2006, 06:44 PM // 18:44

Personally, I'm happy with this weekend. I desperately need more skill points on one of my characters and having scrolls last longer will speed things up a bit and save me money. Although many people may find this weekend less exciting than others, it still does have a practical purpose that will benefit certain players. Not everyone is going to like every single weekend and not every weekend will benefit every player.

"It's time for... the Creature Double Feature! (That should date me right there...)"

Not only date you but tell where you grew up. Boston area eh? Every sat afternoon on channel 56

Lottsa smart*** comments in this thread. It's obvious that not a lot of ppl give a rat's you know what about the frickin scrolls (which aren't dropping anyway). Can Anet come up with something a little more FUN!? Anything? Hello? Is this thing on?

I should play the next James Bond, the rate I get the 007 disconnects.

I only get to play in the weekends (what with real life interfering and all,) and the events make sure my playing experience is painful. It is disconnect hell. Have both Prophecies and Factions but not planning on buying Nightfall until I can get through a weekend without a 007.
