Hmm. I thought so, too, but was given a definitive "no" in the channels, so wrote it off as old age. Glad I'm not the only one 
.
Shame I had to head off to work. Hopefully it will still be going when I get home.
No, it's definitely on. I verified it with multiple characters on two servers. Double XP is active, and all of the normal things that "go with it" are too (e.g. Patrol experience isn't being used, except to pay off debt).

Nice! Wonder how long it will be going. Would be great to move some of my 40ish characters to 50.

Anyone check the ski chalet for openness?

The ski chalet was opened on Virtue, IIRC, that first weekend after the announcement, and I think some other servers had said they had it open as well.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Hoping this isn't a "give them 2xp so they'll be distracted and stop posting." <Jingles shiney> c'mere super type person... i've got toys for you.

On the other hand, double XP could get more people in the game. So it could have a positive side effect.
Sounds like a good time to find some teams a shoot some video. I would really like to get some footage of some Hollows missions especially Frostfire.

Naturally, I have not read through the entire thread, yet, so I apologize if this is repetitious or has already been disproven.

I think I recall that post too Angel. turns out his build was old enough he had to ask it to repair it and that got it figuring out "oh, I'm so old I really should just grab the new install files" since he was missing more than a few patches between the version on his disk and the Most current on the updater

Yes!
I have a 48 that wanted to trudge through a few trials and the AV arc.

Now if only they'd turn on DXP for the Beta server as well. I missed out on buying Beast Mastery and Nature Affinity, so I've created a character using both there. I figure Beta's a server now just like any other, at least for those lucky enough to be able to log in still.
Hmmmm. I've got questions but I'll ask them in that forum.

Confirmed Double XP is on, but the Ski Chalet seems to be locked still. I remember Zwill mentioning he requested it be opened.

Well, it may be a small gesture, but it looks like someone up the chain has listened to Zwill about his request to turn on Double XP.
With any luck, maybe this is a sign of more good things to come, both in-game and out!
