It usually only happens when Turbine screws something up terribly.  Typically massive downtime triggers it.  It used to happen pre Mod9 everytime they would announce a delay in the release schedule...AGAIN.  We went over a year with no releases, updates, etc.  I even remember a 50% exp weekend.  Level cap was 16.  Gianthold XP was not nerfed yet.  You could cap two toons from Friday to Sunday.  I remember Madstone and Crucible were handing out 40k of xp on first runs with the 50% at level 11. 

We were literally earning a level an hour.

Actually if you want to get technical about it, 50% xp bonuses came way before the period that Velash is referring to and were attempts to lure back players with free weekends, 50% bonus xp and +1 loot all the way back to when the cap was 12 with mod 3.

As for major server issues, Turbine generally gave out gifts as recompense like siberys dragonshards or in the case of the 2 day outage  we got a free day and a candy cane
http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=128119

The next 50% weekend was for DDO's third anniversary
http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=173938

And it was the last one ever. at that point mod 8 was 4 months old, so we were just beginning the  9 month long drought of new content. there were several 25% weekends sprinkled in there as well.

Sorry 11 months October 29th, 2008. to August 31st, 2009.
