Double XP Weekend

Another Double XP Weekend is upon us! Earn double experience, double prestige, and double influence/infamy all this weekend starting Friday, February 8th and ending at midnight on Sunday, February 10th.

Record Server Population

Lighthouse announced on the official forums last night that the Freedom server, after an extensive upgrade that accommodates more players than ever, had more heroes and villains on it than any time within the last several years. In fact, it reached its new peak in maximum concurrency, and new logins had to be denied for a short while last night, introducing a new server status possibility: "Full".

As of this morning, all servers are up and well below maximum capacity, but with this entire weekend being a double experience weekend, one or more servers might yet still reach full capacity during peak hours. On the official forums discussion thread, however, it was noted by many that even when the servers were at maximum capacity, lag problems were practically non-existent.

Congratulations, NCsoft and heroes of the Freedom Server!

NCsoft Charity Auction

NCsoft is placing several items related to its games up for bid on eBay and donating the proceeds to Child's Play, a charity dedicated bringing toys, games, books, and even cash to sick children in hospitals across the country.

Among the items you should check out are a poster signed by the development team, a signed copy of the Collector's Edition of City of Villains, and a really sweet Lord Recluse statue.

If you're also into other NCsoft games, especially a certain game developed by the developer of Ultima fame, be sure to check out the Tabula Rasa items up for sale as well. Don't just buy the game, buy the game with style. You could even get an NPC named after you in-game!

Paragon Wiki Move to Wikia Complete

A few months ago, we announced that the Paragon Wiki was going to be hosted by Wikia in the future. As you can see, that move is now complete! We still have the same great staff running things, but now we have a much higher level of computing and staff resources dedicated to making sure the Paragon Wiki is up and running well.

Wanted: Your Mad Writing Skillz (with a Z)

Want to contribute to the Paragon Wiki but don't know where to start? One good place to start is by editing articles that are designated as Stub articles and Work in Progress articles. These articles need anything from minor tweaks to major overhauls, and anything you have to add would be appreciated!

If you want to dive into writing some highly needed articles from scratch, check out the list of Wanted Pages. These are pages that are linked to from other pages but that have no articles associated with them. They are sorted by the number of links that point to them, so by filling in the articles towards the top of the list, you will be giving the most bang for your temporal buck.
