Get excited because one of your favorite times of the year is quickly approaching - Double XP Weekend! All the fun begins on March 4th!

What is a Double Experience Weekend? It's a three day stretch of time during which all participating Hero and Villain characters receive double the XP, Influence, and Infamy for their accomplishments in game. All you have to do is log in and take advantage of this opportunity to level up your favorite characters twice as quickly as normal! And if you pre-purchase Going Rogue, you'll be able to take advantage of all that Double XP has to offer while wielding the Dual Pistols power set!

But it doesn't end there. We're also having an Account Reactivation at the same time! This means that all inactive accounts in good standing will be re-activated free of charge and given access to City of Heroes and City of Villains® during Double XP weekend! So grab your friends and loved ones and get them back into the game so that you can play and rack-up the phat loot together!

If you or any of your friends haven't played in a while, visit the City of Heroes Website for all the latest game news. Download the PC game client or the Mac game client, or visit our official message forums for a wealth of other information.


Please note: if your account expires after the reactivation weekend has started, it will not get automatically reactivated. To participate in the Double XP Weekend, you will need to reactivate your account via the usual method. Please check our Knowledge Base (European Knowledge Base available here) for more information on how to reactivate your game account.

We hope you take advantage of all the advantages a Double XP/Reactivation Weekend has to offer! Enjoy and have fun...see you in-game on March 4th!

Early powersets come with both.

Demon Summoning isn't available until April.

Is there any information on where to preorder GR? I'm not seeing anything on various online sites as well as nothing on the PlayNC store as of yet.

I'm going to take a guess and say we'll be able to pre order it at the NC store within two weeks.

So where's our pre-purchase button already?

Will we be able to pre-order GR from the NCSoft store directly? I've always bought my CoH/V games and extras from the NCSoft store, and I don't want to break tradition.

Guess that's confirmation that we'll be getting the pre-orders sometime this month. And also that the pre-order incentive refers to the live servers (I have no idea why some people thought it referred to test server only). Good news all around.

Requesting that weekend off from work, as always!

2x weekend has always been double experience, inf, and prestige. It won't be any different this time around.

Minor quibble, but Thursday through Sunday is FOUR days.

I want the complete package. Can I preorder that? If I can't will there be an item pack offered. While I love this game, 70$ for all the options (early start, and items) is a bit much.

... why would it be $70?

Preorder the complete pack, $39. You don't need to get both versions.

Agreed, would love official confirmation on this as well.

Sweet sassy molassey!

Now send this exact message to everyone who ever had an active subscription. I'd LOVE to see my old friends come back, even if only for three days!

Well seems like news is coming thick and fast at the moment after a little bit of a drought.

Double XP, Dual Pistols, GR vague release date and Issue 17 announced!

If your mouse has greater processing power than your gfx card, the answer is yes.
