    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...
    Only other games give bonus XP to everyone not only paid members....-.-

    World of warcraft was one of the first to do real bonus weekends every weekend :P

    It's only been discussed/talked about for the past 2 months or so. And only 10hours of bonus which the bonus multiplier drops over time is pretty weak. Can't they just have a full 48 hours of pure x2 exp?

    Zytex, I'm pretty sure the new skill is for members, but F2P'ers are getting a new Quest.

    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.

    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.
    I was about to use gilded altars to train the expensive prayer, but unfortunately that's not possible. Then I was thinking between summoning(lack of charms because I don't really play legit) and construction(expensive). I will train construction at that weekend.

    - The new skill will be released on a day that ends with a ‘Y’ – All days do; MondaY...
    - The new skill will be released in a month with at least 28 days – All months have that.
    - The new skill will be new – Uhm duh?
    lol'd at this...

    Look at those 'theories', it's as if someone actually took time and started rough-drafting them and whatever. Or at least - I find it very 'childish' to start making up theories when the feature is going to be released in less than a month. Or at that time a month. 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.

    to be honest (like most) this exp bonus disappointed me....i was like WOW but then of course it was so short that it barely made any difference, and im betting it was some kind of way to try and catch botters to see how many people would be on for the full time... :|

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

    How? I can't think of any skill that you could do 50 hours of work in 2 hours with a silly multiplier.. Using the first 2 hours will save you like 2-3,5 hours of work..

    E: I wish they would've enabled 2x experience for everyone for the whole weekend, but I think the reason they didn't is because of some fat kids surely getting heart-attacks and dying after drinking a barrel of Red Bull while playing RS for 72 hours straight on 3 accounts.
