Heard any rumors about a double xp weekend? Seems like a long time since we've had one, and they often arrive in January or February.

I heard a double XP rumor today. It was posted by peterpeter.

On a side note..

There isn't really a precise pattern there, but it does seem we are "due" for one.

I heard from some guy that we aren't getting them anymore.

I heard they're doubling XP for everyone except Regen characters. And villains, of course.

Rumors are worth every penny you pay for them.


I used to fiddle with my back feet music for a black onyx. My entire room absorbed every echo. The music was . . . thud like. The music was . . . thud like. I usually played such things as rough-neck and thug. Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Music from the other side of the fence.

I hear double XP was related in an old mayan prophecy concerning the rebooting of humanity! So they are holding off till the apocolypse. Once THAT happens, get ready to farm farm farm!

Honestly, if they never had another again, I'd be a happy camper. People get too stressed out, impatient, and obnoxious during these weekends, and they throw the market out of whack. They'll probably have another at some point, but I'd just as soon they retire that gimmicky "event" for good.

Back when base stuff was reeeeally expensive, I proposed they should just have a double prestige weekend that would take place more often, like once a quarter or so, to encourage supergroups to come together and work on task forces and such. This always struck me as a much better idea that would actually encourage camaraderie than just a "Shut up and farm faster!" weekend.


We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

Physical location is irrelevant if i can't log off a US server and immediately log onto an EU server with the same client and account.

I think all standard rewards (xp/inf/prestige(?)) are doubled during Dxp, but unfortunately.. I think the Shards count as drops like the recipes and salvage and would NOT be doubled.

Dumple is a sad panda?

Bring on the Hami Raids!

Well that's a different type of merge altogether. To be honest, I don't see why it would be such a big deal to have access to both on the same client. It's not like the clients are really different other than their server lists to begin with anyway. lol
All they'd really have to do is flag our accounts for access similar to when CoH and CoV access was merged... right?

IIRC, it's more of a licensing/legal issue than a technical one. Unfortunately.

That and the tecnical issue of US vs. EU account names and Global handles.

Yeah, that's the more obvious one I should have realized on my own.

I wonder if the extended Winter Event and the Double XP weekend has anything to do with the other game that came out this week.

I have no idea why, and don't care...just happy!

Im sure the marketing people at NC thought it was a good idea. Doesnt matter to me if 'another' hero mmo came out etc etc.. too much to do on this game anyway for me to spend time trying to learn another game and start from scratch.

Just gonna sit back and enjoy the double XP.
