I reactivated my pirates account on Monday and discovered fishing, then leveled up ten levels. I also got a pirate level or two, and worked on sailing. I did some incredibly boring quests. Sure, I didn't lose as much as a previous poster, but I do know I don't feel the same desire to play that same content over again as I did.

I do not feel it would be at all out of line to offer a double or triple XP event for a week; it seems like wasting nearly a whole week of everyone's time warrants something a little more than "my bad and here's 7 days of credit."
Exactly, they WOULD do that, but they can't just throw it out there. They certainly did not just say our bad, here's 7 days of credit. They didn't have to do anything. They did that because it was basically all they could do.
