    ....just sayin
    When exactly did they gut the MA? BTW, I look forward to the new guest author arcs that should be arriving soon.

    That wasn't the reason they gave us this present. You may not like it, you may have little use for it...but that's not why they gave it to us.

    Quality troll post. +5 points.

    EDIT: Or quality goofball post. +2 Stars I'm not sure yet.
  5. Why would you avoid any of the servers? There are good people on all of them. I guess Virtue and Freedom are pretty full, and you may face the queue server at the next DXP...but roll some characters on every server.
  6. Oh, I know--you just can't move more than a few paces. Otherwise you get the art, over here, and the function, over there. And that is infinitely more annoying than riffraff touching my table.

    I've already said this, but I would totally start some characters on the Euro servers.

    Theoretically. That sort of characterization never works for me, though. It's one of the reasons I don't like Superman. Pretty much all of my characters just aren't that big and powerful. RP-wise, they may have saved the world a few times, but they were just fluke-backseat events. They're modest, too.

    There's a small but vocal group of people who seem to view this as the only possible reason that NCSoft would allow for free server transfers. It'd be best to nip that chatter in the bud as quickly as possible.
    No, absolutely not. I don't think this line of thinking needs Red Name time wasted on it. (For the record, I'm aware that you aren't pushing the conspiracy, Chad.)

    You would think, wouldn't you? See above, though.
  10. This is a nice gift from Paragon Studios.


    AND IN NO WAY INDICATES THAT THE SERVERS ARE MERGING AND THE GAME IS SHUTTING DOWN.

    Leave the paranoia on the grassy knoll, people.

    Why?

    This makes no sense. Especially in light of GR right around the corner.

    Who knows, I might make a transfer or two.
    I would totally start some characters on the UK servers.

    Do we really need an adult in here? People, remove your tinfoil hats.

    FREE GIFTS?!? OH NOOOOEZ!!!

    Or (crazy talk, I know), it's something nice for the holidays.

  16. That is some quality paranoia. Also, all the "bad things" that happen when you transfer servers--those have never changed.
  17. I never said, "Pics or it didn't happen," I asked for information.

  19. Correct, unless you are on a MM, in which case as it is enabled by default.

    Sort of like, a new player comes to the boards and says, "I have a Batman homage who wants to fight the mob, what should I do?" And the guide lists all the Family, Tsoo, and Mook contacts, missions, etc.

    Well, the test "events" may have better flash-attendance, but I don't know how that compares to just leaving it on, on the test server all the time. So you have to actually MAKE the window, to help test it at all. One of my gripes is, I feel, a lack of clear patch notes (we don't know WHAT to test), as well as a clear lack of follow through (bugs go live, dev team never received our feedback).

    For me, at least. The friggin' workbench tends to move around if you travel. As a courtesy, I nuke it before I leave the CH. It takes up space and no one else can use it, while the real workbench is invisibly popping around the zone behind you. It's just annoying.

    I'm sure there is a keystroke like /release_pets_all or something, but I just click-dismiss.

    It feels like I'm illiterate, and running in slow motion, all at the same time.

    I'm a big fan of H.P. Lovecraft, and a relative picked up one of my anthologies, pointed out some names, and said, "How do you even say those (names)?" I thought about it, and said, "I've never had to say them before."

    I make grammar; and spellling mistakes, too.
