Double XP Weekend will run July 31 through August 2, 2009. NCsoft posted a save the date. This is a good time to send out referrals to buddies who might be interested - especially those who might come back for the sweet XP!

Additionally, a Rikti Invasion Encore has been scheduled for July 17th through the 19th. Get suited up, because that means these aliens will be invading approximately every three hours - an easy way to the Watchman Badge!

Issue 15: Anniversary Released

With the return of old foes, a powerful adversary who has been trapped is now free! Whether you protect Paragon City or serve Lord Recluse, a time of change is before you. What does the opening of the Omega Team Time Capsule hold in store for Paragon City and the Rogue Isles? Find out, by playing Issue 15: Anniversary!

AE Badge Changes

Synapse posted[1] about some very large changes to the Architect Entertainment Badges coming up with Issue 15. Almost 90 badges will be removed, including the Hall of Fame and Dev's Choice badges, due to the developers' desire for Mission Architect to be about playing Story Arcs rather than grinding for badges.

Only 24 badges will remain, and characters who had already earned these badges will not have to re-earn them. Requirements for Mission Engineer Badge will be altered due to this; it is unknown if not having one of the new requirements will affect this badge if a character already has it.
