    Blueside is dead

    It's a perception thing, perhaps. For me, at least, getting about a half-dozen request to team per hour is a lot. Last night I was foisting them off, while assisting with an inf. transfer, and later during some badge assistance. All with other players who asked.

    And every channel I'm in is all "SF this" and "TF that." You have to hide under a rock to solo in this game. And the zone chatter is all, "LF Sewer Team this" and "Starting a Midnighter Arc" that, and "Praetorian Arc run through." The zone chatter in every neighborhood is a team scroll.

    Hence using all the global hide options so often. But then, for the OP, maybe that is drastically less than they are accustomed to.

    Thanks, Arcanaville.

    Westley, thanks for linking to that earlier thread.
  4. In my dreams, sometimes I'm still insecure about my appearance. Which, now that I'm older, I really don't care about.

    So, maybe the fact that I wasn't aware that my schedule was changed and I'm late for class is my fault. Maybe the part where I haven't done any homework all year, and completely forgot about that OTHER class is my fault. It may even be my fault for failing all those tests.

    But if I come to class naked again, everyone in my dream is just going to have to deal with it.

    Hello, all

    Achieving level 50 is not a requirement to succeed in this game. Nice to meet you, have fun.

    Blueside is dead. Discuss
    No, you're wrong. I still play most of my characters hidden because of all the "Join my team" and "Can I join your team" invites.
  8. That's Baldwin P. "Bulletproof" Vess!

    Edit, Sniped by the Vess!
  9. These threads crop up from time to time, but I always try and remember some seriously interesting things to post.

    More or less this^^^ goes for me as well.

    No, not the green mold--they're on to us, they're on to--

    Nothing to see here, move along!
  14. Heheh, no worries--Virtue is King of RP. You shouldn't have to look very far to find it. In addition to trying out the trial, you should take a peek at www.VirtueVerse.com --it's a wiki of some of the characters on Virtue.

    Welcome, have fun, see you out there.

    Bye bye :)

    I always loved Aurra Sing, nice work.
  16. Until the mods can spare the time to police the morons, dunderheads, and trolls in this forum, we will not see the return of /jranger.

    But, it seems obvious to me that a server merge or consolidation is on the way. I am just wondering if it will happen before or after Goin Rogue.

    When they introduced the new "Supreme Leader" rank for supergroups, alot of folks were left scratching thier heads. From the player standpoint, there was no real reason to do it. It wasnt something that the players had been clamoring for or really seemed to need. (Granted, CoH dropping stuff on the players out of the blue is nothing new.) There was a very vague reasoning given by the Dev staff for the change, but it all seemed sorta not needed. There was some players that weren't happy with the socio-political ramifications, but most folks just sorta shrugged and moved on.

    Then winter comes along and the dev's give free server swaps through the end of January. This made me a little suspicious. Folks were happy to be able to server hop for free during the holidays and folks are having fun.

    But, I think there is more to this. After the end of January, the devs can see which of the lower end servers get even more depopulated. The way CoH is set up. Any kind of mandatory server move is gonna be kinda hectic. Especially with character names and super groups involved. The free server swapping through the holidays alleviates much of the headache as many of the players handle it themselves. So, when a server consolidation does take place. Fewer players to move off the dead servers.

    Then there is the issue of supergroups. This is where the "supreme leader" comes into play. That new role makes the moving of SG's from one sever to another much more feasable. The devs let everyone know when moving day is. When M-day arrives, everyone but the "supreme leader" gets booted out of the SG. The SG gets moved to whicher server the "supreme leader" moves too. Then the "supreme leader" simply re-invites all the members that show up on the new server.

    Now, I dont think a server consolidation would be a bad thing for the game. Quite the opposite. Have fewer, but more populated, servers would only help retain players longer and encourage more new players to stay longer than just the trail account period.

    Just some insane thoughts and paranoia. Return to your regularly scheduled madness.
    Hi, sorry, but you really don't know what you are talking about.

    City Scoop?

    Everyone is still here, more or less. The new forums broke the Scoop, and they've been working on a new format. I'm sure an actual Scoopster will weigh in here soon with an update, though.
  19. Nobody with borked awards schedules has recieved it yet, which means it's not in game yet. And we haven't seen a patch hit test in a long time.

    If there is a patch prior to GR or tentative 17, my money is on "oh, here, have more respecs." Meh.

    Wibbles, Sorah. Dish on a recent artz you did?

    If anyone is reading this right now (friday at 2am pacific) I'd love to run a TF and the global channels seem to be down so I can't look in virtue tfs like I'd like to. I am a 34 blaster and I need Citadel or Manticore.


    Also if anyone knows a way to change my name I'd love to talk to you about that. The idea was that the d and b were the headphones. I don't think anyone gets it though so it just looks weird. Maybe dheadb would have worked better. All I can say is that I won't take responsibility for anything I did four years ago.
    I got it.

    Also, welcome.
  22. In the future, you can always leave your question and answer up, for other folks to learn from.
  23. Don't you traditionally get nowned with a red-hot-fiery brand?
