NOTE: Originally, Double XP was scheduled to run through January 2nd.  Apparently it’s now January 3rd.

From Isulith on the Official EQ2 Forums:

This coming weekend, from 12:01 AM PST on Friday, December 30th and ending at 11:59 PM PST on Tuesday, January 3rd, EverQuest II will be running a Double XP promotion (+100% XP). Take advantage of these four days and watch those XP bars fill up!

The bonus applies to AA, tradeskill, and adventure experience gained this weekend. Our French, German, Japanese and Test servers will also be enjoying the increase in XP gain.

Happy New Year and happy adventuring!

SOE are trying something new with their EQ2 Bonus XP this time around. Past Bonus XP events have taken place over a weekend or during the holidays which has been good for some players, but not so good for others who are visiting family or working over the weekend. So this time around, the Bonus XP event is a Double XP Weekendish.

From SmokeJumper on the EQ2 Forums:

We’re  doing Double XP Days from Dec 27th (Monday) to Dec  30th  (Thursday). Most of you will be shocked to hear that we’re doing  Double  XP not actually on one of the holidays and on weekdays instead of weekends. Don’t fall down in shock. SMILEY

Of course some players are not happy with the new arrangement. I’m not sure they could do an XP bonus event that would appeal to all players without running it for 2 weeks. I predict (educated guess) we’ll see some type of XP bonus in the days or weekend before Velious launches.

 

From the EQ2 Forums, when asked if we might see a bonus XP weekend, SmokeJumper dropped this hint:

Yes…but I have to stay mum about details until the announcement is ready.

Looks like the best way to find out is to ask. :)

 

From EverQuest2.com.

It’s a Bonus Guild XP Weekend!

Starting at 5:00 pm (PDT) on Friday, October 22nd and ending at 10:00 am (PDT) on Monday, October 25th, players in EQII and EQ2X can gain a 50% bonus on guild XP!

Get out there and level up, and enjoy hearing those dings come 50% faster. But don’t wait; the weekend will be over before you know it. Enjoy!

This promotion will run from Friday, October 22 at 5PM PDT (Sunday 02:00 GMT) until Monday, October 25th at 10AM PDT (17:00 GMT).

SmokeJumper dropped this hint in response to the question…

*whistles innocently*

Check back Monday’ish.

 

From EQ2 Senior Producer Dave “SmokeJumper” Georgeson:

We read your posts about wanting a Double XP weekend this coming 4th of July weekend. I went and discussed it with everyone concerned, and voila!, now it’s Christmas in July.

This weekend, from 4pm Pacific on Friday, July 2nd until 10am Pacific on Tuesday, July 6th, we will be running BOTH a Double Station Cash promotion *and* a true Double XP (+100% XP) promotion.

So go get those Station Cash cards so you can redeem them, and plan to play a ton this weekend! We’ll see you on line!
