Double XP Weekend (Extended) has been renamed Double XP LIVE. From the capitalization, "LIVE" appears to be an acronym. What could it possibly mean? I suspect it's "Leveling Is Very Easy". What's your guess? Let's crack the code. :P

That's the spirit! Now we're on the right track. How about this one: "Legally It's Virtual Entertainment"

I think it is a marketing propaganda. It signifies the commencement of the Living Games era:

"Double XP LIVE is the next phase of RuneScape's special event growth."

Living Games! It's marketing genius! Profits will certainly blossom (unless interest withers).

Profits blossomed and interest certainly didn't withers since 2017.

I can see the marketers probably think DXP "Extend" may give the players the impression they are extending the grind, so perhaps changing the title to LIVE may make them feel like it is a live event like going to a concert or soccer match. A good idea actually. :)

Very true. The early arrival of this event caught me by surprise. I'm paying a small (actually not so small) fortune for herbs. :(

As fan who's severely missing live sporting events, I appreciate the appeal of this marketing approach. I'm watching six Madden NFL simulation live streams per day, but its just not enough!!!!
