This was on the CoH news http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/archives/2008/01/the_2008_state.html

"We have another Double XP Weekend coming! Currently we are targeting February for this event. It will be the same format as we have run previously: a weekend long fest of double rewards of experience gain, influence or infamy, and prestige! Double XP is always popular and usually drives our online numbers to record heights."

Also note that it states that there will be changes to the xp curve, this may be from xp per minion or amount of xp needed.

I think its going to be a change from the ground up. i.e. Minions, Lt's, Bosses etc.
I guess if it smooths out the whole career progression then it can't be a bad thing...? The grind from 30-40 can be a bit of a nightmare imo.
Any thoughts?

Yeah i agree that it seems harder to level between 30 and 40, but then again since RWZ level 35+ is quite easy to level fast. On quite a few toons i find that level's 12-20'ish take a while and can be the breaking point for some toons that do not work well or are late bloomers.

Although even the earlier humps are easier with the Safeguard\Mayhem jet pack. The big issues used to be waiting for L12 and DOs and then crawl to L14 for travel power.

The only thing which may still be an issue is if you're cramming to get Stamina at 20, since it normally fits best after 14 (less 'must have' powers) it means your character is running around unchanged for 8 levels.

K - looking at what was happening with the market last night there's a lot of money to be made selling

Scientific theories (for example) were going at silly prices, 6-10K per item. I reckon there's a good chance that this situation will continue to the weekend and early next week so stashing stuff to sell at the weekend will be the order of the day, conversely trying to buy anything good will be like pissing in the wind so save it for next week.

Actually my bet is that somebody has bought a thousand of these and will release them over the weekend.

I will be on most of the W/E with swiftshade (currently lvl 38) trying to get as high as poss.

Shout if you wanna team

By Sod's law we had a a series of second long power cuts and now my pc stopped working. Took it into a small place down the road but they said that the earliest that they can fix it is late tomorrow evening. So it looks like i wont be on for a majority of this weekend. Sucks majorly. The router is being a bit iffy too now so im not sure if that needs replacing too :/ Anywho, i'll see you when i can.

That sucks Jimmy

Of course it's probably just a power supply gone wrong, if you're happy playing with cables then it's a 10 minute fix
