Double XP Weekend Server Instability Issues

Greetings Players,

Due to the stability issues that occurred with the North American servers this past Double XP Weekend, we plan to offer another Double XP Weekend in North America after Issue 16 launches.

We would like to take this opportunity to apologize to those of you who were unable to enjoy the event as a result of this, and would like to thank you for your patience as we work to resolve these types of issues in the future.

We appreciate your continued support.

The City of Heroes Team

The issues honestly didn't affect me too much. A few minutes Friday night, a few minutes Sunday night, that was it. But I am excited to hear another such weekend will becoming before too long, hopefully with less mapserver problems.

I wonder if this should be a the start of a trend, holding a Double XP weekend shortly after the release of a new issue. Once the bugs are sufficiently worked out, of course.

With CO and Aion coming out, i think it's a nice little incentive, espescially after giving out new powersets. Sounds yummy!

So next time it'll be 2XP in the AE, but with the ability to spawn mobs for a full 8 even if you're a duo/solo too? Could be epic

Good grief! I misread that as saying that Double XP would stay on until after I16 launched! >.<

Wow, that is seriously awesome. Pink Imps and 2xp again!!!!


Thanks, NC Soft, for closing my favorite game ever without warning and with plenty of life still left in it, and thus relieving me of the burden of EVER wanting to buy, try or even hear about another game from your company. Will my decision make a dent, or persuade them in anyway, shape or form? Nope, obviously not. Don't care. NC Soft is dead to me. ~ PsyFox

Aye. I think Protector spent more time flashing LCTM messages than actually being up and playable all weekend, so this is greatly appreciated.

Thankfully I didn't notice much of a problem while on Justice most of Saturday and on Freedom most of Sunday, but an awesome gesture to those affected players, nonetheless.

Thank you!

I would like to ask the devs that, since everything else reward-wise was doubled, can we please have double-merit rewards also? Most of the weekend was very hard getting a tf together as almost EVERYONE was either pl-farming or AE'ing.

Not to be a downer, but what are the chances that they will have the map-server issues fixed by then?

Hm, this just made me giddy. Too bad most of my characters are already 50, maybe this can be my double inf weekend.
