Has there been any announcements regarding double xp, station sales or anything else of that nature? If so, could you post a link? Thanks!
Not yet. Announcements happen here normally: https://forums.station.sony.com/eq/index.php?forums/news-and-announcements.2/
The way weekends have been going lately, they could have a quadruple XP weekend, but the servers would go all wonky and nobody would be able to log in and those that DID manage would find their chars deleveled to 50...
There's often a last minute announcement, but they are usually for long weekends. Being a Thursday, it might not happen this year.
Last year We did have one after the 4th which was on a Wednesday last year is what your remembing. Friday, July 6, 2012, and lasting until 11:59 pm Pacific on Sunday, July 8, 2012, we'll offer a Double Experience in EverQuest! But they dont allways due it the same every year.

DD XP has started a little early, so no need to wait until midnight Pacific time to start the weekend grind. Also is a SC bonus sale, to consider if you want some - July 4th only pacific time.
