With the imminent release of Issue 17: Dark Mirror, developers Cryptic and NCSoft have announced a Double XP / Reactivation game for their hit MMO City of Heroes.
Starting on Thursday, 4th of March at 8:59am (in both PST and GMT time zones), all inactive accounts will be reactivated for free and ex-players can just reinstall the game to jump back into the action.
During the weekend both previous and current players will receive double XP, Infamy and Influence which will help anyone returning to the game, or trying to level up their alts before the next Issue lands in April.

In addition to the double XP, the Spring Fling event also returns this weekend.

New costume pieces, badges and temporary powers are available to be unlocked during the event at Pocket D, so what are you waiting for?
