Only other games give bonus XP to everyone not only paid members....-.-Quote:
It's an idea we've had for a while (and we’re obviously not the first gaming company to think of it; many online games have bonus XP weekends). We wanted to give people a chance to do training on existing skills...
World of warcraft was one of the first to do real bonus weekends every weekend :PQuote:

I never saw that RS thread, I Don't look at RS forums, but it did say partially, although all F2P skills are technically only partial F2P and the full 100% skill is P2P, but I thought in the RSS feeds, RS said it was members, meh, whatever. But I do believe you F2P guys are also getting a new quest also.
I thought they said this skill is both f2p/p2p where p2p will get the full package of the skill.
I hoped for more hours of double xp :( Cant choose which skill to train...
any suggestions ?
Skills that are expensive, so you get more xp for the same amount of money. Skills that take a long time such as runecrafting so this gives it a little boost.Quote:

slayer or herblore.Quote:

I lol'd the fact there are people taking it all so seriously.Quote:

If you read the other threads and posts for the new skill, you actually see people flaming along 'No! The skill is going to be ------!!!!1!'
and then the other guy goes like 'Nuh uh!'...
mysterious123, where'd you get the idea it'd be out in less than a month? They said it'd be out towards the middle of the year.
Just like all the other skills then?Quote:

What? Herblore, Agility, Thieving, Farming, Hunting, Slayer, Fletching, Construction, Summoning, are all p2p only skills..Quote:

Using the first two hours of the bonus XP, I will save approximately 50 hours.Quote:

hahaha Im sure many people would do that if they do the whole weekend 2x, i think im going to train summoning and then i wil chin at mummies :PQuote:

Alternatively I can make 1m a hour doing a money making method and spend that bursting rock lobsters. This turns out to 80 crimson charms a hour. This method means I save 25 hours.
So in two hours I will be able to make all my charms while my average bonus experience will be 250%. For my slayer example this means I will get about 6000 "free charms" and at my very generous estimate at 50 crimson charms a hour I actually save myself 120 hours. Ice Bursting example I save 75 hours.
Much more than the example I said, but only because I actually found out my average bonus experience instead of estimating.
