GameBlast 2014 - Double Drops or Double XP?

Jagex is big on giving. Each year we place a huge focus on ensuring we promote the charities close to our hearts. We're continuing this by offering our support to SpecialEffect: a small charity we worked with in November 2013 in conjunction with the Well of Goodwill.

SpecialEffect helps break down barriers into the gaming community for people with disabilities; using everything from modified joypads to eye control to help people to play to the very best of their abilities.

The thing that makes SpecialEffect extra special to us is that they’re bringing families and friends together, having a profoundly positive impact on therapy, confidence and rehabilitation.

You can find out more about the incredible work SpecialEffect does by visiting their website.

This year, SpecialEffect are hosting the GameBlast 2014 event: a 24 hour video games marathon that will really make a difference. During the weekend of 21-23 February they’re inviting everyone to have fun playing games for up to a whole day, while raising funds for people with disabilities.

We’ll be joining in the fun with our own 24 hour live stream, broadcast direct from the Jagex HQ. The stream will feature your favourite JMods and promises to be full of entertainment, excitement and enjoyment.

To make this weekend even more special we’re offering you the opportunity for a double drop or double XP weekend! On top of that, we’ll be reopening our community powered Well of Goodwill, allowing everyone to donate to the great cause we’re supporting.

A poll for a double XP or double drops weekend will go live on the 31st of January and will end on the 7th of February; be sure to get your vote in! We’re determined to make this as player lead as possible, making it a true community choice. If you’d prefer not to have any enhancements over the weekend, then you can vote for that too.

We'll be posting more juicy details on how exactly you can join in and get involved soon. You could be also in with a chance to join us and game for 24 hours live at the Jagex HQ - keep an eye on the news and the forums!

Things are moving quickly, so stay up to date on our Twitter and Facebook pages, and keeping an eye on the news feed.

See you at GameBlast!

Me behave? Seriously? As a child I saw Tarzan almost naked, Cinderella arrived home from a party after midnight, Pinocchio told lies, Aladin was a thief, Batman drove over 200 miles an hour, Snow White lived in a house with seven men, Popeye smoked a pipe and had tattoos, Pac man ran around to digital music while eating pills that enhanced his performance, and Shaggy and Scooby were mystery solving hippies who always had the munchies. The fault is not mine! if you had this childhood and loved it put this in your signature!

"We are looking for better ways to incoroporate double xp other than the traditional weekend" and no one believed a word from Jagex. "NVM it will help for publicity"

I like to think of the Dark Bow like a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) - you get one shot and then you're screwed.

I have a much better idea (imo):

 

Why not a double point weekend?

For example:

 

Castle Wars - 2 Gold tickets awarded for ties and 4 for winning the game.

Mobilising Armies - 2-4 ranks per game (currently 1 rank if losing or 2 if winning)

Livid Farm - Double points would be awarded: 40 points for cure plant instead of 20 etc.

Barbarian assault - Double points would be awarded eg: 160 points for defeating Queen. No double bonus exp though!

And so on.

 

This would revive the minigames for a bit and it would help players with something like Completionist or trimmed requirements, while not doing overly powerful drops/exp. One would still work for the bonus!

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?~ Marianne Williamson

This actually sounds like a much better idea.

“I had a feeling we weren’t coming back from this fight when it began.”

“Do you have any regrets?”

“I don’t. It seems surprising, I know, but I wouldn’t change a thing. This is how it was meant to be.”

“Huh, you never really notice how lovely the day is until you realize you’ll never see it again.”

“Mmmhmm.”

Why not make this a genuine contribution to charity thing - you contribute "x" gold to the charity wells and receive "(x-y) / (z+q)" bonus xp to the skill of your choice which you can then earn at your leisure instead of over the period of one weekend?

Yeah that's the general idea that a number of people have suggested. It's definitely the best option by far.

Makes exp directly buyable...

I would definitely love this option. So many minigames I would love to try. It's been way too long since I've played Castle Wars as well. At 20 minutes a game, that sort of Double Ticket activity might even be extendable to a week. (Or would that be pushing it too far?)

Voting double drops because double xp will screw me over right now since I don't have much cash.

Would be nice for neither tbh, if you can change your vote, if skilling is clearly winning I will change to neither so they know that its stupid.
