I've been appreciating the "double XP weekend" and that got me to thinking...

Double XP is good for non-capped characters, but LoTRO has a lot of characters at cap. So what could be done to enable even more people to enjoy such an event with *all* their characters? Then it hit me...

Double Damage Event

Set up an event during which all attacks do twice normal damage. Want to try that quest that you've been struggling with and keep dying? With double damage, you could succeed! Want to try skirmishes somewhat tougher than you think you can take? Do them with double damage. Want to get that annoying kill deed out of your list? With double damage, you'll kill faster and dispose of the deed sooner.

This would also have less effect on those that think leveling should be slower than double XP has, so that's at least a modest plus as well.
