We know you’ll probably be stuffing your face with Turkey over the next few days, so why not also stuff your experience bars? That’s right – we’re having a Double XP weekend!
This weekend, from 12:01 am PST on Thursday, November 24th, until 11:59 pm PST on November 27th, we will be running a true Double XP (+100% XP) promotion. The bonus applies to AA, tradeskill and adventure experience this weekend. Our French, German, Japanese, and Test Servers will also be enjoying the increase in XP gain. Huzzah!
So have a very Happy Thanksgiving and when you’re done eating with the family, we’ll see you in Norrath!

Also, in the spirit of post-Thanksgiving tryptophan-hangover-induced retail madness, the EQII marketplace will be running a huge post-Turkey Day sale (Friday, November 25, 2011).
Many, many items have been discounted; most of them at half-price or more!
So enjoy! And have a great time with the Double XP weekend!

WOOT!!!! Been waiting for this. 😛
Chuckle – they are trying to get you to spend your station cash prior to buying an expansion with it all. Happy holidays everyone !
was looking forward to this, but now its here I am not sure I wont be playing LoTRO instead
Time to max out those AAs.
What’s the difference between “true Double XP” and “normal Double XP”?
reading this again I am disturbed by SJ’s upbeat tone.
After all that has been written in the last ten days about AoD, Raiding, Free to Play not a single comment or note of regret.
Gorgonheart, not all “Double XP Weekends” are actually 100% Bonus XP, more are really just a boost but lately they’ve been doing +100% XP making a true “double” xp weekend and not just bonus xp weekend.
woo max aa point lvl 35 with 74 aa
I’m @ level 71 with 281AA think i’ll level an alt instead of pumping those because i still have a lot of questing to do :p
“What’s the difference between “true Double XP” and “normal Double XP”?”
Normally we get “Bonus XP” which is usually in the neighborhood of +50% or so. This is a +100% bonus which is one of the very few tiems we have ever gotten an actual “Double XP” promotion. It also applies to Adventure XP, AA XP, and Tradeskill XP.
They’ve all been “true double” for a fair while now. Perhaps because every time prior, when it wasn’t +100%, huge numbers of players called it ‘double’ anyway and then the people who listened to them got upset when it turned out not to be true. 😛
Yeah, SOE made a decision at least a year ago to make all double xp weekends true double xp weekends. Now, the only question is ever if guild status is doubled also, (it is not this time, and it’s pretty rare that they add this in)
