And if you change that costume, you lose access to those pieces, just like pieces that have been removed from the creator. Just like powersets.
  3. It's also on the wiki. There's a big flag at the top of the page that unequivocably states "Requires a VIP subscription." Don't know what else that could mean!

    I did clarify the overview to more explicitly talk about the facts while switching between VIP/Premium.

    Anyway thanks guys.
    You can put the code in now and it will extend your VIP time if it works; if it won't work, your account won't be listed as valid and the only thing you can do with it is to start a new account.

    Loading Problem

    The most common problem with that is low RAM. Faster hard drives help, but not as much as more RAM.

    Paying rent

    The main SGs I'm in allow everyone in the group to pay rent, or everyone but the lowest tier which is super simple to get out of (basically ask, lol)...but we ONLY pay rent if you something is nonfunctional due to overdue rent. AP is the closest teleporter down both base's teleporter lines so it's easily accessible to pop over to pay.

    Rent is stupid cheap but over time it saves a lot of prestige.
  8. Regarding the first paragraph, that is working as intended.

    Regarding the second paragraph, I have no idea. That's not something players will know/be able to help with.

    That's your prerogative but it's a little histrionic to be honest.

    Ah good times, I love the hostility that a lack of understanding breeds within others.

    ...

    I guess its true what they say, cox is really going to the wowtards these days who can only see numbers, cookie cutter builds, and spew hate on anyone who actually likes the game enough to be a part of it.
    So in a forum dedicated to general discussion of the game, somehow someone plunking down a very narrow version of their own "fan canon" (when the forum has a roleplaying section dedicated to just such things) means that ... well, whatever it is you think is happening here? Because I'm pretty sure that's not what's happening here from my seat. :/

    He's not, 7deCoeur is leaving/has left. Technically, they hired/are hiring a new ASSISTANT CM, according to Zwill's post.

    Lies and damn lies! A good third to half of my characters have Empathy (or Pain, since Corr/MM can't get Empathy) and they are *loved* on teams. Fortitude and Adrenalin Boost is WHERE IT'S AT! The chorus of "yay fort!" when I join teams always warms the cockles of my heart.

    I'm not sure what cockles are, but they sure are warm.

    Yep. It's 500pp if they're bought separately, which means the bundle saves a buck 25.
  13. *argh* *argh* *argh*

    I wonder if I should go apply to the Seattle web team. Maybe they need help and that's why they suck so much.

    -_- I could probably do better than this. And I'm a fairly basic/intermediate web designer.
  14. Howdy. The Roleplaying section is down a few from here. Most of the people here don't give two squats about your "fan canon", they're here for general discussion of the game. Good luck!

    The Origins bundle only contains the five capes. It's 400pp. The auras are sold separately, individually, but I forget how much they are.

    Quick downloader

It would be nice to have a faster content distribution system, maybe something like a torrent. Just sayin'.
    I regularly download in the hundreds of KBps (sometimes over a thousand KBps), so it's not the updater.

    Do you mean if you buy the Magic costume bundle, do you get the Origins capes? If this is what you meant, no, they are separate purchases.

    If you're talking about something else, can you please clarify.

  20. How the hell do I get rid of those tacky bold OP names in the thread list? Bold means "new posts!" and has since we switched over to vB so my brain is getting repeatedly tricked! TRICKED, I SAY!
  21. Your purchases aren't listed anywhere. You can use this guide to get a crappy list of what your account has unlocked, but it is a messy experience at best. Probably better to just wait for support.
