25% Bonus Experience in Effect Until Jan. 8

UPDATE: It turns out there is no frosty exp bonus in effect. According to Senior Community Relations Manager Craig Dalrymple, SOE decided it didn't want to offer the exp bonus alongside the double Station Cash promotion. Thanks to all the ZAM users who pointed this out.

In order to help players celebrate Frostfell, Sony Online Entertainment has implemented a frosty 25% experience bonus in EverQuest that kicks off today and will be in place until Frostfell ends on Jan. 8, 2010.

From everyone here at ZAM, we hope you all have a safe and happy holiday both in-game and out. Enjoy the experience bonus!

Haha , good luck , it looks like its not working. What else is new. As for the spending money on station cash ,i would if there was something other than exp potions in market place worth buying. those cheesy ornaments are a joke and useless. Would be nice if they put stuff that we could actually use ,like weapons,armor or jewelry that might be a little above current group stuff or have elite focus effects. I would buy that stuff. what they have in there now is just an insult in my opinion.

And an other reason to never spend real money on this game.

Exp Bonus

Exp Bonus pots good idea, so we play for one month at x amount dollars and then buy exp pots for x amount of dollars equals kind of lame. sorry great idea but emote:/scratches head it dont figure.

30 days exp = monthly price 14.99
4 hours exp bonus = 5.00
burn 2 pots a day = 10
burn 6 days wk = 60

normal exp / bonus exp

15 / 60

normal exp / bonus exp is 50%

15 / 60 is 50% ?

15 - 1 30 - 2 45 - 3 60 - 4

So, in four week you pay amout of one week with bonus pots.

Month time = 14.99 convert to hour is

four hour time = 5.00

The defenders of SOE and Station Cash (Ie. Sony Employees) will surely defend this ridiculous action, however to people who do not play 24/7 like a lot of people, this is just the first in many steps as Sony takes away what made EQ unique.

Games like WOW which have satisfied the lazy people have apparently become to popular to ignore, so SOE has decided that SELLING stuff is a major promotion and EXP bonuses are not.

I have played EQ for almost 7 years and i will NEVER bu anything from the marketplace and feel its a total waste of time. Thanks Sony, an absolutely TERRIBLE decision.

Now, you employees, er defenders of Sony chime in....
wow

It's towards the bottom of that EQ forums thread on the Veteran's forum. They didn't want two promotions to be running at the same time... STATION CASH!! RAAAAWR!
Happy Holidays!!!

Wow when did Sony get so cheap as to go to a 25% exp bonus instead of a 50% bonus like they always use to do. I guess the economic times must have hit Norrath to. lol
wow

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Sheesh. They give something to the player base and -someone- always complains.

I think the person was joking there so get off your high horse.

Also they decided not to give it to us because they would rather have subs pay for the exp bonus.......oh I mean they couldn't run 2 major promos at once.
wow

"Just enjoy it." - Guessing your one of the wonderful people that give into paying for silly station cash that makes them make choices like they did here.
