Double XP and Re-activation Weekend Starting March 4th!

Get excited because one of your favorite times of the year is quickly approaching - Double XP Weekend! All the fun begins on March 4th!

What is a Double Experience Weekend? It's a three day stretch of time during which all participating Hero and Villain characters receive double the XP, Influence, and Infamy for their accomplishments in game. And if you pre-purchase Going Rogue, you'll be able to take advantage of all that Double XP has to offer while wielding the Dual Pistols power set!

But it doesn't end there. NCsoft is also having an Account Reactivation at the same time! This means that all inactive accounts in good standing will be re-activated free of charge and given access to City of Heroes and City of Villains® during Double XP weekend!

Start: Thursday, March 4th at 8:59am Pacific Time (11:59am Eastern Time)
End: Sunday, March 7th at 11:59pm Pacific (2:59am Eastern Time)
