Double XP Month or so?

Just wanted to bug the community and see if maybe we can ask for a double renown/exp month or so to try and boost the server numbers up again! Would love to see a huge spike in the player base again.
Cheers

Its not rr or xp that has caused the exodus of people.

In the bigger picture double weekends actually dont promote more players, it makes players overplay during the event and exhaustion and going from 2x to normal rates makes a feeling of burnout kick in afterwards.
its very short sighted, but it does feel great while they are on going for sure.

Good intentions, but it comes off as punishing those players who did stick around while Renown gains were bugged and War Crests were missing from bags.
The note about seeing a temporary surge and then a drop-off isn't wrong. Personally, I think given how impactful the bugs were (like issues preventing renown gain entirely for zone locks) and the sour taste that can leave, it's nice to balance things out a bit with something sweeter, even if only for a couple days.

Yeah that sucked, I stopped playing while the bags were bugged. Only way for a radical population boost is increase the MMO's popularity either via media or via meaningful content additions or modifications to make the game more fun and rewarding to play, as I think it's escaped nobody's notice the game is stagnant and has been for some time.

I believe that the developers of this server do not plan to somehow increase the influx of new players and that these same players remain on a permanent basis. In addition, the game is already quite outdated and unstable in itself.
