[Season of the Crusade] XP Buff event extension (2x rates)

We've had a good boost in players since the Call of the Crusade event went live. The event was scheduled to end at the end of January, and is not scheduled to return until the end of April (with the launch of Zul'Gurub).

**Fortunately, I've extended the** ***Call of the Crusade*** **buff for** ***at least*** **another 2 weeks.**

I'm currently working on fixing the buff's current implementation (so that its not as fickle), and I'm also going to implement a ***Slow is Smooth*** buff that reduces experience gains by 10% (closer to the unmodified-TBC rates). This update should be out on Tuesday, so until then enjoy the finnicky buff.

**TL;DR: XP Event is extended for** ***at least*** **another 2 weeks.** This event will probably last all of February, so that players have ample time to reach 60 before the event ends.

The goal of the server is to bring all the changes that came with TBC into Azeroth, incorporated seamlessly with the existing Vanilla game:

* 2.4.3 server with all the core changes that go along with it, but the Dark Portal is deactivated and level cap is set to 60. * 2.4.3 talents w/ 61 talent points available at level 60 (2 talents per level from 10 - 19) * All spells and abilities introduced between levels 61 - 70 have been integrated into the leveling process.

Other notable changes from TBC that are added:

* Raid sizes reduced to 25 and 10 players. * World Buffs removed in raids. The quests that trigger world buffs are repeatable (however you can still only receive one quest reward). * Blood Elfs and Draenei added. * Jewelcrafting added, and sockets & gems added to level 60 gear. * Tier tokens & tier sets for every spec/role. Set bonuses based on T4, T5, and T6. * Vanilla reputation overhauled and quartermasters added that mirror TBC reputations and rewards. * Daily quests added with some new quest hubs (Silithus and Cenarion Circle being the main daily hub at the moment). * Daily dungeon quests have been added (similar to the daily heroics) that reward extra badges. * Badges added to dungeons and raids. Phase 1 TBC badge gear available. * Profession updates to make vanilla professions more similar to TBC professions. Iconic crafted gear has been scaled down to L60. Essence of Azeroth is similar to Primal Nethers and are used as reagents for the new recipes.

Leveling changes:

* Permanent -30% reduction in XP required to hit 60. * Currently an additional +50% xp buff (Call of the Crusade) * 2x talent points from level 10 to 19 * TBC spells incorporated into leveling process. * Iconic quests from TBC added into Azeroth * Bulletin boards added in Ratchet, Booty Bay, and Gadgetzan that offer daily quests for the leveling dungeons as well as the alternate-faction quests for dungeons.
