PlanetSide 2 fans have a little something extra in their virtual stocking this year courtesy of Sony Online Entertainment (SOE). SOE is hosting an extended Double XP event over the holidays to help unlock those cert points for new weapons and mods. According to a post from SOE boss John Smedley, the Double XP event starts today with a single day Triple Station Cash offer and will remain available through January 2nd, 2013.

Along with Triple Station Cash, I'm happy to announce we're running Double XP from Friday the 21st through January 2nd.
