User blog:Bloodhit111/Celebrating 15 Years of Auraxis

On May 20, 2003, the original PlanetSide launched, and the war-torn world of Auraxis came to be. For the last 15 years that world has changed and grown alongside its players, shaping PlanetSide 2 into what it is today. In celebration of an incredible 15 years, we have a full week of special activities for you to take part in, which will run from Friday, May 18th, 2018 at 12:01 AM PT until Friday, May 25th, 2018 at 11:59 PM PT!

Double XP Week
Get geared up and hit the battlefields - from Friday, May 18th until Friday, May 25th ALL players will receive double experience when fighting for Auraxis!

And don't forget! This month's members double XP weekend will run from May 25th to May 27th, which means on Friday, May 25th members will receive QUADRUPLE EXPERIENCE!
 * Important Note: Bounties will be disabled on Friday, May 25th, during the member's quadruple experience period.

Construction Sale
Construction is going to be getting an update later this month, so we want to make sure you're prepared! From May 18th through May 25th, all Construction items will be available for 40% off!

Bending Beacon


The special "Bending Beacon" item can be found in your Utility slot for the duration of the anniversary celebration. Placing it will call in your very own mini-meteor shower!

PlanetSide Throwback Bundles
Going for an a more authentic PlanetSide look? We've got some awesome new (but still retro!) items available in the Depot.



You can pick up a Bending Bundle from May 18th to May 25th, which will include revamped versions of the old-school Rexo armors for all factions, the Solid faction alt-camos, the PS1-AV Suppressor, and PlanetSide Veteran decals!

Plus, from May 18th to May 25th, a unique PlanetSide 1 themed bundle will be made available each day! Each of these bundles is themed to match one of the original PlanetSide continents, and will contain an assortment of different items including camos, vehicle cosmetics, weapons and more. Be sure keep an eye on your calendar, though - you only have 24 hours to nab each of these!

You can find a detailed list of exactly what each bundle contains here.

We're thrilled to be celebrating fifteen whole years of PlanetSide - share your favorite memories from Auraxis with us on Facebook, Twitter, or the PlanetSide 2 Forums!

Here's to the future of PlanetSide, soldiers! Original post
