This is going to be my first experiment for the new section and it will be focused on the upcoming bonus XP weekend and the effects it has on the number of people achieving 99 skills. I do not support this event, I feel it cheapens the work many players have already put into their skills, especially in skills that can be speed trained with certain supplies (summoning pouch crafting, herblore extremes&overloads, construction mahogany etc). So I would find it interesting to see just how much of an impact the event has on the amount of 99s gained in a day overall. The event will end in exactly 2 weeks from now, and during that time, I am going to keep a record of how many people are achieving level 99 in each skill. So by the end we should have some decent information on the impact the event has had on high level skills. People may be holding off 99s for this event, but people may also avoid getting 99s over the weekend (due to parties wasting time, and they may want one). These are both likely to affect the data in some way, but it shouldn't interfere with the comparison between skills, to see which ones received the largest percent increase of people achieving 99 over the weekend. I will try to update at around midnight GMT each night.

Down with this weekend bonus experius!! I saw a thread like this on RSOF but it was only for summoning and herblore. Can't wait to see the results of this. It's going to be pathetic. |

They do something similar on requiem, xp event for special dates (a new update, holidays, etc...) and also set something called "happy hours" wich are xp increasements (that stacks with events one in case one of them happens during an event) that lasts for 1 hour, but happens 4-5 times per day, of course is not all days. My point is, this could work if there wasn't such an abysmal difference between training methods in runescape, but then you have people already making a ton of xp with "regular" methods alone, this will only make people to wish for more easy xp, so expect more of these coming soon. So basically, this could work if the training methods were the same for all or with few variations, such as in combat based mmo's, but on games like runescape, a big no no. Either way, I might train herb a bit with this xp boost since I don't really play much anyway. |

i think it was an awful idea theres goona be some records broken come the time cause the insane amount of xp you can get, especially in buyables.Dont want to see Jagex take this direction of handing out easy,fast and cheap xp.But guess you have to accept change. |

Updated for today. Interesting to see woodcutting having the biggest rise in people getting 99 and being quite far ahead of all the other skills, I'm guessing that has something to do with ivy. Also mining has a pretty high rate of 99s considering how many people have the cape, that is probably due to the living rock caverns. Seems to be a good way of seeing how big of an impact these updates actually have from the first days results, see if it carries on the trend over the two weeks. More importantly, see what happens on the bonus xp weekend. |

money has nothing to do with the ease of the skill but it seems that woodcutting has become the most afkable and seems to be the easiest atm all you do it chop and dont bank. I think if nothing is done for ivys itll pass fletch and cook in 99s eventually |
