We're really getting into the spirit of Hallowe'en and Trick or Treat, and would like to give you - the community - a giant treat! Want to skill up in preparation for the Evolution of Combat launch, or just getting into the Hallowe'en spirit? Then join in one of our famous Bonus XP Weekends!

For the first time ever, free players will also share in the Bonus XP Weekend, with 20% more XP. Naturally, though, being a member will always give you a significantly greater bonus: double XP!

Grab your gear, examine your skill levels and start scheming – the weekend will run from noon (GMT) Saturday 27th October to noon (GMT) Monday 29th October.

Keep an eye out for further details – we’ll tell you more as the event draws closer.

What happened to no more bonus XP weekends...

[McSwindler]

a.) What the hell you hypocritical nerds...
b.) Why so much free xp? 1m xp this past two months, then the 250k prayer xp, and now this!? And I heard there's news of a new way to train prayer coming...Apparently Jagex wants everyone to get 99 prayer >.>
c.) Seriously, what the hell...

[DJ Phox]

some of us actually enjoy the bonus exp... I am one of them

[MegaMan]

Everyone likes the xp, but they in one of the news announcements that they were done with xp weekends.

[Graystar]

This way everyone will have all 99s by the end of year. And those who still haven't got them will get missing xp for Christmas present...

[Tribforce]

I want to both hug Jagex and ring their necks at the same time!!!!! When they announced no More Bonus Week-ends, I stopped storing up herbs and went ahead and made everything! I lost out on major exp in a skill that is not easy to get up in the first place. But at the same time, I live for Bonus Week-end! So........time to start scramble and store up all I can. I seriously hope this is not a joke, as it is going to take a lot of no-lifing to get ready!

They never said they were getting rid of bonus weekends altogether, they said they didn't like the way they were setup and were rethinking them. I never expected this though...I figured they'd being doing things like the mad may necklace instead. Also, it's not even a weekend, it's 24 hours that spans across 2 days...

I am pretty sure they said they were removing them...

I don't think so, but there's not much official info yet...

[Justic3 U]

Cool, free xp for f2p players

[kassandra]

*whispers* Please include summoning, please include summoning

[Pandazack91]

Oooh! Wonderful. I cannot wait!

[Doctor Berry]

Well... If they are doing double tokens with dung that's where I'll be. If not, then I guess I'll be using that time to red chin range and get closer to 99.

[senug]

Well since I'm f2p I might as well use the extra bonus xp

[kilvehk]
