Double XP

It was pretty well-known that another double XP weekend was going to happen after i16 was launched to make up for some screw-up during last double XP weekend. Now, of course, they're saying it's to "celebrate the launch of i16." Whatever, I guess. And, kind of oddly, this time, it starts on a Thursday. So, Thursday, October 8th through Sunday, October 11th. Cancel your real world plans now. Except for the ones you can't. I'll miss all day Saturday, but that extra Thursday makes up for it for me.

Lusca

The SyFy channel's "Destination Truth" hunts for a Caribbean Lusca (I didn't even know that was an actual alleged thing) in the second half of the show. The first half with the dolls is pretty interesting, too, but doesn't relate to the game.

2 Billion

Remember when that was a lot of influence?

Invisible Robots of Death

From the Test Server patch notes for 9/4/09:

"Dimension Shifting a Malta Hercules as it is Merging will no longer result in invisible robots of death roaming the world."

I can't be the only one disappointed that they fixed it.
