BioWare gearing up for SWTOR expansion with double XP weekends

Has Star Wars: The Old Republic's grind got you down? Well, chin up, young padawan, because BioWare has just announced the game's first ever double XP promotion. Beginning on March 15th, players will receive bonus experience every weekend through April 8th.

Is BioWare hoping to get a few more characters to level 50 prior to its Rise of the Hutt Cartel expansion? Probably, but the company has yet to officially announce the release date other than "Spring 2013." The firm also notes that even if you're already level 50, you can still take advantage of the bonus weekends via doubled Legacy experience.
