Lets see.. already have the 17th scheduled off.
I have a family Birthday party to go to on the 18th, but the rest of the time? Yeah.. I already told the GF not to expect to hear from me at all that weekend (outside the family commitment) so I will spend it glued to my PC, Turkey Hill Iced Tea in hand, Pizza shop & Chinese on speed dial, Dr Who marathon on the TV while I try to get 50 #17 by then....
(oh.. and likely pantless)

edit: especially curious to see what effect it will have on ATO prices. Haha, oh man.
Get my 40+ toons to 50
Take advantage of teaming for toons in the 30+ range
Get lowbie toons up to 30
...maybe 'stress-testing' the DFB trial...
I should start parking my 'light-use' toons for the XP Day Job Badge in advance. (and scrounge up a few XP boosters/enhancers?)
Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"

*Arc #177826-Lights, Camera, Scream! - 3 step arc, camp horror; try out in 1st person POV - 35 Ratings/4 Stars
you know I just thought of something, are the devs going to turn off the MARTY code for the event? I understood it's in game to prevent abuse and to actually prevent gold farmers and such but this dbl xp is the weeked that some folks that dont, ususlly start to semi or majorly power level. Wouldnt MARTY put a crimp in that?

I'll be spending 2XP Weekend levelling whatever characters I can and listening to the Cape Radio's Double XP Music and Madness Weekend while doing so... pantsless

I like to jump from character to character as my severe, one-weekend per year altitis kicks into full gear and get one level on about 8 different characters while accomplishing none of my preset goals. I see no reason that this year will be any different.

If staff fighting is out, I'll be PLing like crazy until my brain fries and migraines rule my existence.
If not I'll focus on my Spines/Electric scrapper and TW tank.

I will be pantlessly moving Brawling Humiliator, Brawl/WP Brute, up towards the goal of 50. He'll need all the help movin' up the chain towards 50 he can get.

I remember a few years ago I would actually book the friday off work. Lately though I havent bothered. But I do want to get my street fighter to 50, its around 35 right now. Probably level up a whole bunch of new toons to 20 or so.
I wonder how much one run of DFB will get you?
I'll more than likely be getting my Dominator, Magus Mu'Nerall, as close to 50 as I can. He's level 44 now, would be higher, but Redside is always so barren when I check it. I must have bad timing :S
If Staff Melee is out by then, I have an idea for a Staff/WP character, so I'd want to get that up as far as possible, and I have a few other characters that have been sitting at 20 for eons. I'm half expecting the Patrol XP to be as high as the level cap by now :P
Sounds like what we need is to have Staff Fighting available for the double xp weekend!

What I'd like to know is how those nice Experience boosters we can buy in the market will work...
Will they be disabled? If not, I may be spending some points for extras... *hint*

Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

As to the title question, I have a LOT of charaters in the high 20's to mid 30's that I'd like to get pushed on into the 40's. I might try to make a big push toward 50 on one of them since my most recent 50 isn't too far from from being 'incarnated out.' And if darkness control hits before then I'll probably be part of the horde leveling a new controller or dominator.
PS Any guesses on how often you'll see "all darkness control" DFB runs if it's available by double xp weekend?

@Inquisitor
Assuming i22 hits before then, I'll be leveling a new Dark/Dark dominator. Assuming Staff is around before then, I'm gonna need more time and less pants.

To the OP:
Mostly finishin' off characters to fifty, or knockin' out the first few levels quickly with teamin' and probably both Posi's, plus a Synapse.
I don't have any projects currently to finish, so it should mostly be teamin' with people and helpin'em level.

I usually level characters in the 20-40 range only during double XP, cause getting to 20 is easy without and 40+ is easy mode for majority of characters.
Though I'm hoping we'll have the next issue by then, so I can lvl up a dark/ice or dark/dark dom.
I will probably not be playing. *sad face*
