From February 17-21, 2011 Turbine will be having a Welcome Back Event that will allow players to earn a +10% XP bonus from defeating enemies. No subscription is required. All you need to do is download the client and start playing! Existing players can just enjoy the extra bonus for the duration of the event
I am personally glad to see that this is going on! It will help that final push for my Minstrel to get level 50!

It does not appear to be happening to Codemasters. At least I have not seen any announcement from them on it.
Don’t you worry though. CSTM has something planned for Codies only soon.

No free stablemasters
That used to go along with old welcome back weeks and the miser in me really enjoyed travelling willy-nilly for free. I used to save up big quest chains with lots of travel for welcome back weekends.
10% bonus is nice for anyone leveling up but it really doesn’t do much for my 65. I’ll just work on my RK more this weekend.

I think temporarily allowing swift travel during the event for all account types might get people hooked on the travel , and at least go VIP for a month for the perk, (who knows how many of them would stay vip at that point?).. Just a thought.

A 10% bonus to XP is really only good for low level alts, I recall the 25% bonus that they had in the month or so before Mirkwood didn’t really help my 40ish RK very much. It would be cool if the bonus was applied to quest XP.
