You do need to run the auto patch.

Once 40 players are online (tonight if i am awake) then i will stick on times 10 EXP for an hour.

still like the idea of giving every player x10 for an hour when they log on rather than when it is decided by host - it gives gamers that work or have kids or commitments a fairer chance to enjoy such bonuses as they are unable to play 24/7

But then whose to say you wouldn't of been caught up with your commitments during the server downtime? I like NaeBlis's idea about having the "sorry for downtime" event at the same time the next day, but it seems fair to me either way

Unfair on people who were waiting for the server to come back online.

For your system to work i would have to either give out the EXP tokens manually, or give them to everyone who logs in game automaticlly, both ways are easy to expoit, as you know what mir players a re like, and if i did them manually, you know you would have people saying, well i was trying to login @ 6am etc, and they would be no way to prove it.

true, exploiting scum would ruin it again i spose.

but now that you have got me thinking, an easier way to give bonus exp to players is to do exactly as you have suggested. agreed making base exp x10 and having ppl using x10 tokens is a tad daft, but as you did with the birthday npc, allow only players over a certain lvl (say 60 or 70, ie chars that are played) access to a one time only x 10 exp token gift which can only be used on that char. lol sorry bud your idea made me have another idea!!
