Double XP Weekend?

Anyone heard anything about 2XP? I know it is usually around January & July but no announcements yet that I have seen. Are they holding off till the release of GR? The kids were really hoping it would be before they go back to school. As it happens the GR release date is their first day back, figures right? lol

I'm in the same boat- my classes start right then too. It seems to be a common theme when there is something special being released, bad karma?

Last year it was the on August 1st (I remember doing the clear all ITF that day) so we might get one around that time.

If I had to guess, Labor Day weekend would be a good bet.

To be quite honest. I won't miss it if there isn't one.

I don't particularly care for the somewhat "desperate" air people take on during DXP.

Just as it reduces my fun factor when I log onto a server and the zone I wish to use is stuffed to the gills and about as responsive as a dead slug.

I'm betting my inf on it being after Going Rogue is released, if they even do another one. They've been using 2XP weekends lately as a carrot to get old accounts to come back and play when something new has been added. How that would work when the new shiny is contained within a paid expansion will be interesting. Maybe they'll have a free reactivation weekend during Open Beta so that folks can preview what they'd be paying for instead.


Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

labor day weekend is PAX. i doubt they do it on that weekend. My guess is first weekend in august but they woulda announced by now. maybe they wait for september sometime. And i think WHF has a point about using the x2 weekend for reactivations. While i enjoy getting some good xp, this game is no longer about getting to 50 for me.

Well when Something bigs happen for Coh, they will Throw together a Double Xp week, I really believe once GR comes out, we will see one with a free Activation week also.


Never play another NcSoft game, If you feel pride for our game, then it as well, I Superratz am Proud of all of you Coh people, Love, Friendship will last for a lifetime.

I would agree with this.

only thing I can see them wanted to do one would be to test the stress levels of players as we almost always have lag and other issues.

Getting to 50 is no longer an issue with me either however iv'e noticed in the past a LOT of good drops fall into my lap on 2xp weekends call it luck I guess. I love free activation weekends becuase it brings back some folks, (even if it's for a couple days) that I haven't seen for some time.
