The game came back online the evening of May 14th and all players are being treated to a week-long run of events. We can all enjoy double experience, city festivals and more this week on EQ2!</p><p><strong><a href="http://eq2.zam.com/story.html?story=26378" target="_blank">Read the May Events Spotlight at ZAM!</a></strong></p>

<p>Here was some good news regarding the Research Assistant:</p><p><a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=500155">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=500155</a></p><p>Just wish they would have done something similar to this instead of double exp week.  Don't get me wrong, I love double exp week, but we missed 2 weeks of gameplay, not just one.  Also, by giving us 200 percent xp potions (i.e. to avoid stacking issues with other potions) we could have used these at our own liesure.  As it stands now, we get 1 week of double exp (which several of us can't really use due to real life events) in place of being denied 2 weeks of gameplay.  I'm I missing something here?  How does that add up?</p>

<p>I have the same issue of actually having a job and family etc so I can't make any use of the double xp either!</p><p>Why couldn't it have been pots?</p>
