Um... I did look at that list, before you posted it. In reply to me saying:

and then you replied saying the exact same thing I said??

I'm confused.

I think that this might actually be a possible benefit for the new store system: Different niches of the game can have actual proof about how important they are to people via their profitability. If they add some base items, and they make a profit, then they will want to add more. And more. And start thinking about how they can increase the sales and maybe put some of that profit aside to improve the base builder so that they can make even more money.

From the info we have, I don't think the new 'vet' rewards will have a time gating mechanism.

You get 1 PR token per month you subscribe, which can be used to unlock what are essentially vet rewards. So, that way is more or less the same as vet rewards except you get to choose which one you get (I think this will be limited by a tree, so some have to be unlocked before others become available)

But you will also get PR tokens other ways

So, it will be something like every X number of points you buy (I'd guess x is $15 worth), you get a Vet reward token thrown in. Also, if you pay for more than 1 months subscription at once, you get your tokens upfront, so even if you don't buy any PPs, you can still 'buy' tokens ahead by paying for 6 months or a years sub. So, seems like are no longer rewards for how long you have been playing, but rewards that reflect how much money, overall, you have spent on the game.

Well yes, but from what I understand that applies to anyone who has ever spent any money on the game at all (including just subscribing for 1 month).

Quoting myself, because I made a mistake.

GR Purchasers do get something for having bought it. If we ever decide to not subscribe, we keep full access to GR content (under same circumstances, other people still have to pay for it). Thats pretty descent, not that I plan to ever let my sub lapse.

Just because two things happen to come from space, doesn't mean they are connected.

They might well be, but i think theres enough haziness in the story (particularly with the letter writters warnings) to at least cast doubt on what is really going on.

They all talk about 'The Coming Storm' and all refer to some disater that happens in the future. Yet, they are banned from actually naming the disaster and also seem to send you on seemingly contradictory missions in order to help prevent it. Its possible Silas is tricking them somehow, using his knowledge of the far future to convince each one that Ouro is dedicated to stopping what they consider to be the worst disaster possible.

What if Lazarus thinks the Coming Storm involves the Shivans, Twilight's Son thinks it involves the destruction of the Kheldians (possibly by the Battalion) etc... Each mender thinks they know what The Coming Storm is but each one's idea is different (and unrelated).

Given the COHF annoucement, and the possibility that they will now sell individual costume pieces, I wonder if it might be more economically viable now? Particularly if it leads to an increase in revenue from costume pieces and so, hopefully, more resources to produce more costume pieces.

I still don't buy that all the Menders are talking about the same Coming Storm.

Yeah, I think this is most likely.

It was cancelled, I think due to them finding massive problems with accessing the server data from outside the game or something.

In terms of a portable version of CoH: In theory it might be possible through something like OnLive, which is going to be available on Andorid devices and IPad (i.e. OnLive server runs the client and connects to the CoH server, the video gets streamed to you, your inputs get sent back and input into the client). Probably wouldn't be great, and there would be lots of problems, but possible at least.

Maybe he didn't have hair and he just made everyone in the movie think he did?!?
