BioWare has announced that it will be holding four double XP events in the run up to the release of Star Wars: The Old Republic‘s first expansion Rise of the Hutt Cartel.

The developer says, “Starting Friday March 15th, all players will be able to log in to The Old Republic and receive twice the amount of XP every weekend until April 8, 2013. Don’t worry if you’ve already hit Level 50. Your Legacy XP will double too!” Double XP will be active during the following weekends:

• March 15, 2013 at 1:00pm CDT/6:00pm GMT to March 18, 2013 at 2:00am CDT/7:00am GMT
• March 22, 2013 at 1:00pm CDT/6:00pm GMT to March 25, 2013 at 2:00am CDT/7:00am GMT
• March 29, 2013 at 1:00pm CDT/6:00pm GMT to April 1, 2013 at 2:00am CDT/7:00am GMT
• April 5, 2013 at 1:00pm CDT/6:00pm GMT to April 8, 2013 at 2:00am CDT/7:00am GMT

If players use their Legacy XP unlocks and the Cartel experience boosts along with the double XP weekend they can receive 310 percent the normal XP level.
