Genesis Dana, 2x Exp, or nothing?

For those of us who've played long enough, we've seen Nexon give three rewards to anyone who plays in a server when they release it. Genesis Bandanas, three weeks of 2x Exp, and nothing(first few servers).
Which one do you prefer?

Note I just noticed, for the "nothing D: just fills the server with bandwagoners", it's talking about things like Danas and Exp that make Bandwagoners.

I like to collect special items, so most likely the Genesis Bandana, but only on my main, so if it were a new character I wouldn't really care.
I don't stress too much on levels, but I would prefer it more than anything.

I've hoped since the day I joined there would be another genesis dana event

You forgot 2x drop and 2x mesos. They had those for about a month or two when Bera first opened up.

Yeah, Bera had double drops for a really long time >_> maybe even 3-4 months. It really inflated stuff cause all the extra mesos mess up the economy.

Yeah, and as a complete noob to the game of MS (started in Bera), I was very confused when they were gone. I didn't understand why everything became less.

2xp and 2x drop are nice while they last, but a Genesis Bandana is forever.

Until you get hacked, or until MS dies.

Not trying to sound nub, but what is this bandana thing...?

It's a black and white bandana.
Hmm the 2006 Maple Bandana, the leaf is white the rest black.

looks like the beta bandana but with a white leaf instead of red. I like the 2x exp/drop. Makes the server get going faster.

If you think about it 3-4 weeks of 2x exp/drop really is the better deal. Even if the bandana lasts forever. Or just play MapleSEA get the 2x exp/drop and 3 special bandanas that aren't just recolor’s of old bandanas.

I don't like 2x EXP events because I rarely am able to take full advantage of one, and thus don't stand a chance. But I did like the genesis bandana I got in Bellocan.

Bera doesn't exist, so just count that even as "2x Exp". D:

They're almost as old as gMS with half the servers though. :/

Don't forget about getting permanently banned, or having your character deleted by NEXON for some BS reason.

I do wonder why they still allow people with those limited items to transfer off that server and go elsewhere. (I believed someone or several people with the old Mark of the Beta transfered off Scania for whatever reason they had.) Wouldn't that lead to "ZOMG HAX" accusations and noobs begging for that 'dana?

I would prefer just the bandana. 2x events cause way too many people to come and destroy the economy if they aren't all on at once.

I like the Genesis Bandana because it gives me a goal to level a new character. 2x is "train as much as you can" and I usually don't do much if it's like that.

Genesis Bandana:

Bandana FTW.

Bandana FTW.

What are the stats? Or is it just for looks/originality?

+1 all, basically for looks

Anyone who would know where the bandana came from would realize you were an immigrant and a noob wouldn't know what it symbolized :p

I brought some stuff that was older than Khaini over with me when I moved... like the 2005 Pumpkin Basket. Not exactly a beta bandana, but it does spark some of the same reactions.
