  1. I'm always amused by the people who continue to attempt to enter the contest, after it is closed and the prize awarded. Sometimes several weeks afterward, sometimes just days.
  2. Well, congrats on a whole lot of suggestions.

    Now, I'll wait for some actions to speak louder than your words.

    Totally. All the free advice and inf. I have given out was actually anti-money and and anti-advice.

    I'm in the US. Pennsylvania, specifically. It consistently redirects me to the EU store. I didn't know we even had one of those--and I'm not allowed to see the NA store. I'm not dumb.

    I could make that, maybe.

    Did someone set out a kettle of sweetened marketears? Where are all these casual warshades coming from?

    ... or are you referring to people who put in embarassingly low bids for things I value more highly?
    Presumably. I'm not ashamed to admit that I make an obscene amount of money selling things below market cost.
  7. Well, you learn something new every day. I didn't know the PlayNC website had a merchandise area. It's officially news to me.

    I don't know why it redirects me to the EU website, but I don't understand a lot of these things.

    You didn't like your promotional can of game grub? That's all the marketing you're going to get. Fly on a plane to get a can of something horrible.

    Ah. You assume that your cons have been close enough for me to attend. Also, that anyone who wants to buy anything related to CoX should take a plane to the store. Well-played.

    As for your other question....

    I see a big 'GET IT NOW' button on the main page.

    And the expansion is available for pre-purchase at the NCsoft store.
    My page says "Buy Now" and goes to the Architect Edition. We must have different web pages somehow.

    And I know exactly where to buy the thing. My point is, a visitor to the page shouldn't have to navigate through three or four links to find it. It's woefully under-represented on the front page, both in terms of marketing as well as sales.
  10. I can get behind the Street Teams idea. Like, official Paragon Studios Marketing Sidekick. Anywho, when was the last time there was a print ad. I mean, in an actual comic book.

    Also, give us the opportunity. You know how? STUFF. We can't buy anything that isn't digital from the store--I'm talking simple crap, like the stuff you already sell at Cons. And update the front page of the website--you know it doesn't even have GR for sale?

    Well, either way, welcome sir. Excellent to have you aboard.
  11. Good luck to everyone this time, see you in seven weeks!

    DC, practice makes perfect. Don't be discouraged, and keep on writing.
  13. So are all these posts about cross-server teaming legitimate, or spurious? It would have been great if we were told what to test. Since we weren't, I guess speculation is all we are left with.

    Issue 17: Badges

    One of the best things about the closed Beta. I found this badge by accident when I ran the story for the first time. It was a really cool feeling, like playing a console game and suddenly earning a trophy or achievement. I doubt this will ever happen again due to the nature of MMO's and the community, and my own badge obsession. lol Not complaining, just saying I probably won't be pleasantly surprised like that again.

    *shrug* Folks are deliberately reading a thread about imminent new content that hasn't hit yet. It's all spoilers, and they should know it.

    Never let opinion get in the way of facts, man!

    Now go, go and test.

    The shirt on the show is probably real. That one^^^ clearly isn't.

    Hai

    I was going to make a joke, but the words "freedom" and "******" in the same sentence broke something in my head.
  18. I can help you with this, if you like, Mondo. My global is @Thaneval.

    Mine is permanently broken, with dates all over the place. Sometimes they have to break your vet history, just to get your current stuff working again. Per CS, they are tracking the issue thought they haven't figured out what it is yet.
  20. Awesome use of the img tags!

  22. Did you accept someone's request to read your fortune? Check your buffs. And if not, post a screenshot.
