The weekend of the 12th of March will allow you to gain extra XP for standard training activities; specifically, between the hours of 12:00PM GMT on Friday 12th March and 12:00PM GMT Monday 15th March (so, all of Saturday and Sunday).

Bonus XP will be awarded during this time:
* EST - 7 AM Friday 12th to 7 AM Monday 15th
* PST - 4 AM Friday 12th to 4 AM Monday 15th
* Australia - 11 PM Friday 12th to 11 PM Monday 15th
* CET 12 PM Friday 12th to 12 PM Monday 15th
* Brazil (east) - 9 AM Friday 12th to 9 PM Monday 15th

When you initially log in on the weekend, you will gain approx 2.7x XP for all "normal training" activities. While you are logged in, a timer will be running over the time you are logged into the game. Over time, the bonus will decrease to a minimum of 1.1x your usual rate.

Your XP rate will be shown in-game over the course of the weekend, and you will have access to an interface showing a running total of the extra XP you have earned (over what you would have normally earned) as well as the amount of time you have logged in. Your bonus XP rate will NOT decrease when you are not logged into the game, so do not feel pressured to play continuously. Normal training activities will earn you the bonus XP. Every fight, log cut or hunter trap you lay will grant you a multiple of the XP it would normally give.

Activities that will not earn extra XP:
* Quest XP rewards
* Items that give XP (e.g. genie lamps, tomes of experience)
* XP rewards at the end of minigames (e.g. Tears of Guthix, Soul Wars, Pest Control)
* Anything which allows point exchange for XP (e.g. Penguin Points, Brimhaven Agility Arena tickets, Slayer incentives, Mrs Winkin's World of Seeds shop from Vinesweeper, jade vine)

Something to think about: How will this event affect the GE? Which items will fall in price and which item prices will spike up?
