I voted yes, would be nice for a change to not have people running around on 873289789324 alts on a double exp weekend.

EDIT : no this isnt my idea, something JLH suggested

Theres only one crit I'll be training so voted yes, on the other hand if Alans on having 20 or so alts trained at once will suit me fine.

[Regan]

i say no, cause my party i can actually live on...and lvl with...and avoid pker's with is 4-5 zerks and 2 clerics...so...make the monsters easier and ill go with that

but pkers will only have 4 alts too lol which means you aren't outnumbered . . .

Plus anyone who can actually play this game can survive the desert with 4 alts and if they can't theres the option of training elsewhere or partying up with someone else

[Stotic]

another number...1

[Tadpole]

im with stotic

[.?.]

1 sounds fun...but ill go 2 cause im even.

[Thunderja]

Training without a healer sounds like a barrell of monkeys.....

4 is good, or no Limit at all.

[combusta]

i say no limit

because if dbl xp is like everything going at x2, why on earth would the ammount of alts be lowered? i understand u wanna train, but like many say "this game wasnt meant 2 be easy"

and lets face it, most areas are hard 2 train in w/ only 4 alts.

and some ppl do wanna train more than 4 alts......

*Boos double exp*

I think <3 is right and Deval is just getting special treatment. It's because I know him and think he is really cool. JLH is just running double exp cause Deval is back.

Really though, that is cool.

This is me and Gaddy when we hit the town
(That's Odin in the background about to get beaten up.)

I think 4 is fine, but ideally I'd like to see 1 or 2. It really should be designed in such a fashion that the entire community can enjoy, and I believe 3 or 4 strikes a nice middle ground for those who wish to use fewer alts, while still allows alt focused players to use a handful of crits, allowing both styles of player to enjoy the weekend without being overwhelmed by numerous enemies, and/or handicapping those who enjoy multitasking with many crits.

If the OP had read my announcement, he would realise i suggested only having an alt limit on Sunday not both days.

[Crane]

details.....details....

[fallen]

Same I work saturday but I will be sure to get in some double exp at some point

[PrimeX]

voted yes gives a chance for the alt abusers to take a break

[Hansol]

I'd like to see just 4 crits each... Be alot less lag too... And it means grettle will level alot :>

[Crovin]

voted yes as well gives us a break for those who like to run the 15 to 20 thieves led by a druid or mage and actually get some training done

[Despair]

I'd rather see double exp all weekend and it be restricted to a single alt, so we can all play and train like we used to. When we used to fill our crits on healing potions to go train and make constant trips back to town to refill.

People will have to get together in parties to train in the desert, and some people may even have to be totally selfless and log on a cleric and gain very little exp from healing and stuff.

A 4 alt restriction is better than nothing but I'd seriously love to see the game played old school style

[Pandilex]

Hmmmm....

[Perfection]

There are 15 characters online, (15 users). need alts at time of day i play, couldn't kill bosses etc useing one alt or even 4.. the game is no longer a one alt game hasn't been for a long long time, there are many other games however that are restricted to one character you could try them out sometime instead of whineing about alt abuse here.

i'd rather not have a character limit over the weekend, stop exp on my alts, take off what ever exp i will gain just don't make me play on only 4 alts

[fallen]

Hmmmm....

[Shaginator]

[Momba]

4 is a nice number. 1 is even better. But could care less either way. I will use as many as the server will allow me too. So if you don't cap it I am running the big 10 boss man.

[Julius]

First of all, the main reason most people don't like big alt parties is because they don't have the alts or their systems can't handle running more than a few instanced of the program. Limiting those who have spent the last several months/years playing with alt teams is a major inconvienience, especially when double xp is a great chance to get ahead of your routine.

However, Having a small part of the weekend limited to 1,2, 4 alts would make it interesting, without having to "waste" the whole time limited to an inneffective party. I know the places I train it makes things flow very nicely running 10 deep, if I could only run 4, it would take longer, not yield as much profit, and force me to choose which of my team members I wanted to train first. Which for me, having a team level at the same general time makes things alot smoother, and more competetive, seeing which ranger/thief/zerk gets the most hp out of the team.

[Deval]

A: I see no whining, just an inflammitory post.

B: If the game is no longer a one alt game, please explain the presence of the Pacifist.

Kthxbai.

[Perfector]

he is right though alot of the time there aren't people on to help you with bosses and stuff so 1 alt is kinda rediculous, and there are those who choose not to associate with others and train and stuff on thier own and like to be self-sufficiant ... which is part of the game also, 4 would be fine for a day allowing people to use a few alts and a cleric ...id personally rather not have a limitation at all but then again i wouldn't wanna listen to deval cry because he didnt get his way either way I'll be on either sitting or training so I say we just let jlh decide and not worry about it guys.
