Scheduled Maintenance

The Paragon Wiki server will be undergoing scheduled maintenance that will last from approximately 12:00pm until 6:00pm Eastern (UTC-0400) on October 17, 2009. We apologize for any inconvenience, and will try to minimize the outage time.

UPDATE: The maintenance has been completed successfully!

Double XP Weekend

The Double XP Weekend that was commented on after the previous DXP was plagued with lag and server connection issues, has finally been officially announced:

• Starts: Thursday, October 8 at 8:59 a.m. Pacific (noon Eastern)
• Ends: Sunday, October 11 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific (3 a.m. Eastern)

PLEASE NOTE: This is also a Reactivation Weekend! ALL accounts will have access to Double Experience, whether or not you are a current subscriber! Additionally, previous Double XP Weekends have run until Monday's maintenance (which was recently changed), so the end point may actually extend beyond what it states.

NOTE: Announced on October 9[1], Double XP Weekend has been extended until Monday, October 12, 2009, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific (3 a.m. Eastern) - this includes Account Reactivation!
