Double XP for the first hour of each day?

I don't think anyone has been angry about the double XP event between strat 4 and strat 5. There are tons of players asking for it to be made permanent. Seems like a good idea at first glance, but think of it this way:

Casual player logs on and plays for 2 hours. They get 4 hours worth of XP.
Hardcore online 24/7 player logs on and plays for 8 hours. They get 16 hours worth of XP.

At regular rates, the casual player gets 6 hours less of XP. At x2, the casual player gets 12 hours less of XP. If the x2 event was made permanent, the power parity between casual players and hardcore grinders will just keep getting bigger and bigger. That's no good, especially since hardcore players already have the benefit of looms/high levels over a casual or new player from all their past hours spent playing.

What if your first hour of play each day was double XP and regular after that? It would reset to a full 1 hour each 24 hours. No saving your hours of x2 until the weekend. In my opinion, that might encourage more people to play. No-lifers still get their advantage over people who don't play every single day.

irl something shorted on the shuttle and laika overheated and died within a few hours of liftoff and for a brief while one could look up to the stars and see a light shooting across the sky that was actually a warm dog corpse slingshoting about the earth at thousands of miles per hour which was arguably humanity's greatest achievement so far

i would even say double strat tickets first or even two hour(s) per day, to give the hard working ppl a chance to participate Strat.

nice idea Witch, I fully support this. Atleast the first hout if not 2, something to spice things up
And now he can't play because of "common sense" and he doesn't understand how this common sense works

Not to be the one who says this but:

1: This is a good idea

2: it doesn't matter, the hardcore ones will always have the advantage of having no life and that will always give them the upper hand, loomed gear or not.

3: I think that x2 is a huge part of bringing back this mod to it's former glory (almost atleast).

Regards, Lekis


EDIT: With other words, we might lose players if we change this. (still a good idea)

Excellent idea. Especially since I rarely play longer than an hour.
I mean, what have you got to lose? You know, you come from nothing, you're going back to nothing, what have you lost? Nothing!

Good idea.

As a bonus for the "personal x2 hour" i would add happy hour what considers all of the players and doesn't eat your personal hour if online at this time.

Happy hour would draw more players to be online on certain "peak times".

Dedicated happy hour could also give boost to strategus ticks.

We have time zones, not everyone will be able to play during the 'happy hour'. I also don't want to build my daily planning around an online game...

You don't have to be there for happy hour. It is for general increase of "peak time" players. You would also have you personal happy hour, so you don't have to be a slave for the game.

EDT:
Strategus tic boosts could also be applied for the "personal happy hour", so you don't have to worry about public happy hour.

Could always have the "happy hour" reset at like, midnight?
