I believe that past double xp weekends have ended with the server reset on Monday AM.

They usually run from Friday at noon (EST) to Sunday at noon (EST).

That one I know is completely wrong...unless you are in some weird time zone, or maybe live in Ouroborus.

Well, that's when they say the event goes from. How come we never get good information?

I believe they usually list the times as "noon to noon" or "midnight to midnight" but in practice it usually runs from server maintenance to server maintenance - and the devs just say "you got more double xp time than we advertised, quit whining

Hopefully, it will result in my first 50.
Sadly, it will be a villain.
Hopefully, Villains will have an Epic archetype with which to slake my altoholic thirst for new and amazing character options, before the close of 2008.
woot woot. double yer pleasure double yer fun!

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.
[/ QUOTE ]
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.
[/ QUOTE ]
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.
[/ QUOTE ]
Well, actually, I don't believe there was a maintenance downtime for the end of the Winter Event as I was logged in pretty early the morning of the last day. I noticed that Winter Event Mysterious Gifts stopped "spawning."
Additionally, a friend of mine was in a Winter Event mission (save Baby New Year). When he finished and clicked the "Exit" button, he zoned into nothingness outside of Pocket D for a few seconds, then, as he put it, "popped" back into Pocket D.
So, world events may no longer need a maintenance cycle to activate or deactivate.
I would also like to take this opportunity to give many kudos and thanks to the CoX Dev Team and the CoX Community Leaders for giving us plenty of lead time to make arrangements in our un-masked lives to make sure our masked selves have the opportunity to take part in this event.
So, this Halloween Event 2008 is going to start .... late October/early November?

Actually with the Holiday events, they can generally set a timer for it to stop. Double exp has started with maintenance & has been turned off with a maintenance

Why do the devs always state that Double XP (or any limited-time event) will end on Sunday night?
everyone knows that the events never end on an evening, especially not the evening of a weekend. The events end when the next maintenance period occurs - namely Monday morning.
Telling people that the event ends Sunday night just divides the players between those "in the know" who carry on getting double rewards all through Sunday night/Monday morning, and those who go to bed Sunday believing the event is over.
But yay for the event. Time to get another alt ready for 50

Time to book a day off.
[/ QUOTE ]
My thoughts exactly. I think I'm going to schedule the Monday after off and then only work a half day the Friday it starts.
I'll probably miss the first hour or two and be good to go for the rest of the weekend.

Actually, all the past ones have ended with the Monday morning server maintenance, not Sunday.
Woot! Awesome news
Now to decide which toon needs the xp the most - hehe
37 lvl 50s: 3 Brutes, 2 Stalkers, 2 Tankers, 7 Masterminds, 2 Scrappers, 3 Blasters, 3 Controllers, 3 Corruptors, Peacebringer, 2 SoA (Crab, Bane), 3 Defenders, Widow, 3 Dominators, Warshade, Fortunata
Excellent news!
The only problem is I have a bunch of alts that I play in a very specific order. Now I have to endure two weeks of listening to the heroes arguing with each other about who is more deserving of the double xp and the villains alternately trying to bribe me or threatening my family members.
