Turbine welcomes us back by flipping the bird?

Well, at least the other 95% of us will spend a pleasant week.

Exactly! I'm trying to get my scholar to level cap, just started Moria with her and I appreciate this gesture by Turbine very much.

Time to get some leveling done. Thanks Turbine!!

Haven't logged in yet today. Checked boards first. Saw this thread. Reaction: "Finally, some time to work on my alts!"

The deed idea sounds good, too, but I want to get my Explorer alt to the point where he can reliably get higher wood, the one thing my main cannot gather. (He'd probably be sturdier than my Woodsman, anyway.)

We apologize if this increase in experience impacts your play style, but this type of boost is enjoyed by many of our players -- as you may see by some of the posts in this very thread.

However, PartyPlayer has brought up some really good ideas for things to do that won't give you experience and push you along your leveling path while this boost is active. Plus, there is always the Stone of the Tortoise and, my personal favorite, catching up on old book quests. That way you're still doing some storyline progression without gaining too much experience.

Speaking of book quests... I really do need to catch up on mine...

But, hopefully those pieces of advice help you out!
