Hello there!

Like the subject title asks, well, are there any double XP weekends coming up over the holidays?

Thanks!

Doubtful, since they'll have the winter event going on then, and they tend not to have events overlap.

They tend to have one a little bit after the holidays. You can probably expect one in February or March.

When they drop the 2010 calendar it should list them then. Like they did with the 2009 one. I spect they are hesitant to drop the 2010 one cuz of the date for GR. It won't surprise me at all if they need to move that date around a bit.

Don't get your hopes up for this. There wasn't a 2009 calendar. 2008 got a calendar, but the only ones for 2009 were the player-made ones by Master Blade, and they had no event dates on them, for obvious reasons.

GR + DXP the same weekend would be a pretty good marketing ploy.

better than the free reactivation + dxp thing which was widely interpreted as desperate move (with good reason, i actually said screw it to the last dxp weekend after the AE nerfs and played like a total of 2 hours).

Widely by who? I never heard anyone complain. My poorer friends who got to come back for a weekend enjoyed it.

I'd have concur, aside from the usual whining of people who had trouble logging into the busier servers at peak times during the Double XP event, there wasn't much rancor from the last reactivation/Double XP event as far as I recall.

Though I can see how people who'd been rampantly abusing the AE and then weren't able to even more rampantly abuse the AE during the event because of the changes might have been upset. Those changes were entirely too late in coming and should probably have been implemented before the AE even hit live. All in all not the best-handled problem in recent memory, but it's encouraging to see the Devs taking firm steps to keep things in check. Better late than never.

AE XP was "bugged" during the last event...
