“Double Faction and Rares: Fri. 12/16 @ 10am - Mon. 12/19 @ 2pm.
Double Experience: Fri. 12/23 @ 10am - Mon. 12/26 @ 2pm.
All times are Pacific.
I believe our marketing folks will have an announcement for any planned event(s) that may or may not occur in celebration of the New Year, so I will not steal their thunder.

Happy Holidays!”

Should we also expect Double XP for the New Years weekend?

We should expect Triple. We haven't done that in a very long time and as many server crashes and problems we have had lately it would be a very nice gesture.

“Bonus events often change from year to year, and usually at the last minute. It really depends on what marketing and management want to get behind and also what promotions and new items we might have for the marketplace and also what other games at the company are doing for the holiday (especially EQ2) because that simplifies the message if similar games are doing similar things at similar times.
At any rate, had I revealed earlier in the year what we'd be doing for bonus weekends during the Frostfell and New Years holiday season, it would have been a guess... and it would have been wrong. We definitely do discuss, on a semi-regular basis, what the best way or ways would be to get the info out about upcoming in-game events - our current methods are a shotgun approach of one or more of the following, depending on what we have the resources to commit: in-game alerts, Facebook posts, website articles, e-mails to those who've opted in, and Tweets. We are always looking into additional options to more easily message what's coming up and when, because we're all in agreement here that There Must Be a Better Way(tm).

Thanks for reading. ”

Any chance you can discuss extending future events and making them all for a week rather than just a weekend? Many of us are not available to play at weekend so always miss these bonuses.

Either way, I'm enjoying my time playing EQ this week now the Christmas chaos is over! And no work till 3rd January!
