Since day 1, since the first hour after the game opened, I've been playing with many of my other friends in Hafen. After I finished creating my character and teleported into the main game world, I got my first exp event instantly. Ever since then after exhausting all free-account hours (during my final hour was yesterday, I bought 1 month of game time), I have never gotten another pop-up. I have talked with my friends and they seem to get many a day, some of my friends having 2k+, even 5k+ Exp on their characters. I am sitting at 456 exp right now, and will probably be all gone by tomorrow because of all the curiosities I collect daily.
There is no way I have not done enough to earn another exp event. I've built tons of buildings, structures, craftables, picked and gathered everything I've come across, was the first in my group to find surface ore, killed badgers/rabbits/chickens/foxes, walked over every kind of terrain (even that huge mountain in the northwest), rode a horse, sheer'd sheep, swam across many rivers...
Is there some magic trick I'm missing? This has got to be a bug, I've done so much more in the game than even my younger brother, and he's got 4,814 exp.
