Citizen Beats VoA, Progression Continues...

With all the talk (especially on the O-boards) as to the state of progression servers, it was refreshing to hear today that the guild Citizen has held true to their purpose and defeated the unlock content (to their ruleset as per TLP 2.0) of Veil of Alaris. Our understanding is that this makes Fippy Darkpaw the farthest progressed progression server ever! [Yes we know Combine/Sleeper caught up to live, but that was before RoF existed].

So clearly, Fippy is not dead. What it is however, is a server with an XP bonus (according to o-board poster Geoff), a dedicated active endgame raiding guild, and lots of space for a more casual person to do whatever. I have no horse in the race, or friends in Citizen, it is just a good story to tell. Check out Detheb's post on the O-boards: "VoA down on Fippy=Dead server?!" in the Timelocked Progression area if interested in the discussion.

Also, Roshen announced a bonus XP weekend:

"As we get ready for the winter holiday, players will earn DOUBLE EXPERIENCE starting at 10AM PST on Saturday, December 19 and running until 11:59AM PST (noon) on Tuesday, December 22, 2015.

This bonus will apply to ALL of our servers, including progression servers.

What will YOU do in-game this weekend to best take advantage of the double XP?"
