A birdie said it wouldn't be until after the next issue. :-)
Does that mean the Double XP weekend is a long while away?
Or that the next issue will be released sooner then expected?
Since we got an extra one last year, who the hell knows. I'm betting on "not anytime soon"
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.
it never really been on any set schedule, some times end of jan other times in Feb.
I just hope I can get in on some good XP. No real plans to push hard on anyone toon.

Punishing players would have been not granting a third weekend and just saying "sorry." I don't recall them ever saying we'd be guaranteed two per year, or that they'd be on some set schedule. They seem to just pick a weekend that has a need to draw folks to the game that might otherwise be doing something else, like when they introduce new gameplay features, or when another game comes out, or somesuch.|

The last couple of 2xp weekends, I really didn't get much out of them, even though I logged in. I'm at the point where they're nice and all, but the lagfest it brings isn't worth it most times. I doubt I'll feel any different about the next one. I don't have a SG that demands prestige grinding, and I don't have 3 sets of purple IOs to buy anytime soon, so there's not a lot of need for it for me. All they do is screw up the market prices for a month.

following WHF thinking ... STO: beta opens Feb 2.

Double Xp is a marketing strategy made obvious by when they choose to put one out. (almost always)
There was a post a while back by Posi (I think) that announced an intended schedule for number of new issues per year, but never anything promising double xp weekends at any certain rate per year.
Last I heard the next issue was scheduled for some time in the spring. Being closed beta isn't announced yet even I would guess we are still at minimum a couple months off still.
Double xp has been scrapped in favor of a flaming monkey sneaking into your bedroom while you sleep and kicking you in the taint till your lowest level character reaches 50.
It'll probably be after the next issue.
It's very possible we could see one again... last year it was the third weekend of the month. But yes rumors have been speaking of a new issue in test very soon. We shall see what happens.
PS: STO is shaping up to be a fantastic game CL! :P
