March 4 may be more than two weeks away, but former and current City of Heroes players will definitely want to mark the date on their calendars. The next Double XP and re-activation weekend kicks off that day at 8:59 a.m. PST and runs through March 7 at 11:59 p.m.

All participating players will earn double XP, Influence, and Infamy for their accomplishments in-game during the event. In addition, all inactive accounts in good standing will be re-activated free of charge for the entire double XP weekend.

As we've reported, players who pre-order the upcoming Going Rogue expansion beginning March 2 will get immediate early access to the Dual Pistols power set, which means players can take advantage of the ability during the double XP event.
