Better than I would have imagined. For those of you who have no idea about what I'm referring to, it's one of the bonuses that Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games, better known as MMORPGs, use to reward subscribers for paying a monthly fee to play their offering. Experience, otherwise known in this case as XP, is what you earn to "level up" your character from Level One, where they begin the game, on up to 40, or 50 or 80 or even higher top levels. Double XP simply means you receive double the usual credit for completing missions, task forces, battles, etc.
Some games, like World of Warcraft, offer a more or less constant way to earn double XP. In WoW, it builds up to a certain amount depending on how long you remain offline. Once you begin to play again, you get double credit for a limited period of time. In CoX, the usual abbreviation for the City of Heroes (CoH) and City of Villains (CoV) when you are referring to matters common to both games, it's a far more rare weekend event that draws huge numbers of players, usually beginning some time Friday morning and not ending until sometime late Sunday night.
Some servers, like Freedom and Virtue, get so busy that they are full and cannot allow anyone else online.
So, my tally for the weekend was better than I could have possibly imagined. Hard to say which was the best part of it:
Indigo Ronin, dual blades - regeneration scrapper, Level 47 to Level 50 (done, second level 50 scrapper. My eighth level 50 toon); Arakhn, arachnos soldier - bane spider, Level 14 to Level 24 (getting her to level 24 unlocks the Bane Spider set of powers, which are AWESOME); Floating Dragon (remake with a better secondary power pool for endurance draining Martial Arts than endurance draining Dark Armor. This version of Floating Dragon is martial arts - willpower, and she moved from Level 1 to Level 10; Radical Art, rad emissions defender, Level 21 to Level 22; Nyx of Chaos, electric melee - willpower brute, Level 41 to Level 42.
More fun times to come. Bye for now.
