    But why should an inactive, unpaid for account, trump that of someone who has never once let their sub lapse? How is that, in any way, shape or form, 'right'?

    Even though I wasn't affected (and I thought I would have been) I can't help but concur with this. Paying, active costumers should trump innactive, lapsed ones. It's like business 101.

    Whatever else rules of engagement were chosen, paying active accounts should have had been able to keep their globals instead of allowing inactive ones to keep them.

    Therefore, I support this suggestion.

    - Reason: The repel effect is far more detrimental than helpful, unless it's a rogue covertly trying to sabotage a team's chance of success.
    I don't know about the others (well, except no. 1) but as someone whose main hero is a Mind/Emp Controller I have to ask:

    ARE YOU INSANE?!?!

    That is one of the best effects the power has! Collecting every mob you can see into a corner or wall and let the team rip them apart. If you're suggesting something like this, you must be doing it wrong.

    As someone has already posted in another thread where this has come up:

    Silly marketing people not wanting to hand out things for free during a period where there is high demand for them... what are they thinking.

    And 9 times out of 10 said reward will be Uncommon.
  5. All good standing accounts were reactivated. Emphasis on good standing. That being side, if your sister is EU side, like I am, I suggest she tries adding a EU before her account name. For instance if the account name was Flower, she should try EUFlower.
  6. Not exactly... if there was someone on EU with the global name Antares they'd be the ones who would be affected. The Devs decided NA player names were untouchable and sacrosant so EU players got shafted (again). We're used to it by now though.

    Heck even our global channels have been derided in favour of the NA ones even though Defiant is a EU server and someone decided to create a Defiant Events NA side which made one of the oldest global channels on EU to be appended with a EU: Defiant Events EU.

    Bitter, moi?

    (Damzy, you newb, why didn't you think before going for the EU before the name *facepaw*)
  8. Will I also need to prepend an EU to my forum login? As it is tied to my player account and all.
  9. I'm on a dynamic IP allocation so each time I try to access my account I have to answer the security questions and authorize yet another IP adress. I'm up to 8 different IP adresses now. This keeps up, might as well not have any security features in place.

    Rednames, you should really look into an automatic time zone conversion feature for the forum. It makes event thingies like these SOOOOO much easier to communicate now that we're supposed to play with people on the other side of the pond.
    Thanks Kitty... now, to force myself to stay up until Midnight.

    I am neither, nor do I have any trouble understanding what F2P is and/or means. I would very much appreciate it if you didn't post broad assumptions about others.

    I am still against the game going F2P.
  12. It's being done on all servers (now?) but I still don't understand the Time Conversion for this one:

    Wednesday, May 11th, 2011
    Time: 10am - 1pm Pacific Time (6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. British Time)
    Server: Union

    Thursday, May 12th, 2011
    Time: 10am - 1pm Pacific Time (4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. British Time)
    Server: Defiant


    So Union and Defiant have the same start time NA side but not EU side? I am confuzzled. Granted it's a day later but seems odd.
  13. Again with this suggestion? No, thanks. Fine as is.
  14. Another one with EU prepended.
    Waiting until the 10th so I can change the NA one and then change the EU one back to its normal name. That is, assuming that will be possible.

    EDIT: actually, just tried to login with the "new" account name and it doesn't work. I think the emails went out because the GSA was supposed to start today. It was, however, postponed and they forgot to cancel the emails...
  15. So... still no rodent heads?










    I'll wait.
  16. Well then, run around PI like a headless chicken trying to get as many as you can as they spawn all over (why you won't go for grey conning ones boggles the mind) or the Cascades Archipelado (warning: the reflection ones do not count towards the badge).

    Purchasable pets, in-game-items, special campaigns, powers, etc... could all be placed in the NC store. I would probably buy loads of stuff and I'm sure other people would too. No cost other than development time and pure profit for CoH/V its a win-win.
    Worst. Suggestion. Ever.
    No, no, no, a thousand times no!

    Now, this, yes. I would fully support this. Anything other than these should follow the same model it has been following up until now: expansion pack when it is called for, FREE updates in the form of issues when it is not. I already pay a subscription I don't want or need to be paying more for extra playable content.

  19. You can pry my cold, lifeless paws from Defiant when I'm dead.

    Wow! Thanks Roo, I am now fully educated. Wonder if they'd make good pets.
    Also, I am now terrified of the feral pigs the article mentions.
    Altogether, Oz sounds like a very dangerous place to live.
  22. Quite frankly, I'm with the stop now or at the very least at the 100 month. All good intentions aside, I find it unlikely that anyone joining now will ever get 7 or more years out of this game.

    I'm getting 72 months come June 25th.
  23. That's not a push up bra. That's an engineering masterpiece trying to contain, in a dam like fashion, what could be seen as several metric tons of liquid volume.

    Tell me more about this animal. It sounds... cuddly.
  25. Wow, I turned that feature off so many years ago I didn't even remember the game had a camera action feature.
