I don't think it has ever ended in the middle of the day on Sunday. It always goes at least until midnight. I think it usually goes until the scheduled maintenance Monday morning.

Every event I've been in for the past few years in the game starts and ends with the maintenance cycles, whether its holiday or double xp.

Please define 'night' used in the referenced quote.
6:00 PM EST?
12:00 AM EST (Actually Monday morning)
When the server resets on Monday Morning?
8:13 MST?
[/ QUOTE ]
I believe that past double xp weekends have ended with the server reset on Monday AM.

The above is correct. Usually, these events are triggered around the maintenance cycles.
However, the specific times of the event that we say will definitely be Double XP will be included in the promotional e-mail that will go out to support the event, so watch for that.
Anything outside of those times (if any) is just an added, unannounced bonus.

Not worried about the end time so much as the start time.
Should I plan a sick day because it starts early on Friday?
Should I plan a half day because it starts at 5 pm est?
I know there's an email going out but these are things we need to know now so we can make vacation requests!

It starts when the server return from the maintenance cycle. So might want to be ill that day.
Well I guess something good came out of the Super Smash Brother's Brawl delay. Won't miss double xp :P
Can you ever do these when it's, y'know, _NOT_ a weekend? I work all 3 days this event is happening... and have every past one you've done this with. How 'bout some love for us weekend shifters!!

Thank you, City of Heroes, for giving me a superhero social network combined with amazingly smooth game play. Petitions signed with realistic expectations.
