You can still download the launcher from your Account Management page, too. (Go to Game Accounts, and your City of Heroes account)

Yeah I think you can only use those once an hour, no? My VIP one is like that anyway.

Only use the ones from the store, and claim them one at a time. The temporary power will disappear, and claiming another will instantly respawn it.

For anyone wondering how long 2xp would last. Your answer can be found in the Admin message about the server maintenance:

Quote:
[Admin] Attention! In 30 minutes, City of Heroes and City of Villains will go down for end of double XP event server maintenance.
So that means it ends at 7 AM Eastern on Sept 17.

I was hoping it would be perma-2xp too. Looks like I won't get the last 3 powersets to 50 that I need to be in the "a 50 of each powerset" club.

Hi,

well total confusion and bewilderment in game atm. What does the 2xp cessation mean?

Are they just being bloody minded about us, or are they just being mean,
or is it a good sign of a game saviour?

Is there some technical reason that it could not stay on till the end?

In any case the "get a few of my lower lvl alts to 50 before closure" game is on a different pace now.

Cheers

I think the server hamsters have revolted and seized control of the servers, and are running things themselves now, according to the decrees of the Hamster Revolutionary Committee.

...

Well it makes about as much sense as any other explanation...

Just glad I could take advantage. Would have been nice if it was perma, though.

I thought it was permanent...

I spent all weekend playing Breath of Fire II (for the SNES, awww yeaaahhhh). Not the most efficient usage of limited DXP time!

Thanks for eight fun years, Paragon.

I'm ... weirded out that it was temporary, under the circumstances.

Interesting. I wonder if this had been silently scheduled before the apocalypse, and it activated/deactivated without human intervention.

Yep. I wondered the same thing.

I think we'd have gotten a heads-up before the studio closure, though, if that were the case. They usually give a bit more heads up than that for pending DXP weekends. (Unless it was announced and I missed it.)

I doubt it... Dbl XP events don't usually hit that close together. Might I also add that the Lore Thread hasn't happened yet either.

Good sign? Coincidence? Some other thing?

So... here's the ONE reason I can think of as to why they wouldn't just leave it on. Negotiations are going well... and they don't want everyone to blow through characters and have nothing left to do after Nov30.

Hopeful...but seems it was either scripted or NCSoft have cocked up yet again which wouldn't come as a surprise.

Frankie says it best.

What are you kidding me? If negotiations are going well I'm gonna have a ton of new 50s to incarnate out, plus new toons from power sets I don't have (yet) and old not-as-fun toons to get to 50. And that's just me.

I like your idea better than mine. I was thinking maybe too many were online with double XP going, making it harder to justify shutting the game down . . .

I guess the counter-argument to that is looking at how our parents and grandparents saw our music is the same way you look at dubstep or the other way is to say that you are in favor of having more of the same repeated endlessly with no deviation or experimentation when it comes to the art of music.
