    And it doesn't answer my question. He said it is a manual process. Does that mean the servers have to go down for it to go into effect? If it does, that means it will go into effect August 29th after the servers go down.

    If it doesn't, (And they can do it with servers up) I'd expect it sometime that evening.

    If their database is working even remotely like any other database, it is something that will be done over a period of time, most likely while the servers are up. He stated very clearly that it would be a manual process, in other words, it is not something that is over in a few seconds or even minutes. It could be something that takes as long as a day or maybe even longer (I hope not, for their sake). So, in other words: The process BEGINS on the 29th, and they will not release the exact time, or they would have done so by now. So, if it is because you wish to grab certain names, your only real option is to begin trying after midnight, and keep at it until either you succumb to fatigue or you get the name. AND still there is no guarantee you will get it.

    If it was an automated process it would most like be done during maintenance.

    Wowsers! Why even login now? Just sit still staring at the screen...
  4. Its been there since before launch. I have no idea when it was put in, but it was there on the day I since on: June 2nd, 2004.
  5. That was a great video if you ask me. I love the way it was set up as a news report. The voice actors didn't quite go the distance, but all in all it was greate.
  6. Is someone with a pure City of Villains installation able to check the Windows Registry for me?

    That would be a fairly simple little program to code (if you're a programmer), although it would be on a certain interval. It would most likely not be possible to check when you logged out, but other than that...

    Ah, but it's quite possible to check when you log in. Replace the icon you use to start COH with a small program that puts a random coh.texture in the right directory and then starts CohUpdater, and you'll have a new screen every time you start the game.

    Right, simple solution... now why didn't I think of that?

    Very neat! I hope someone figures out how to 'rotate' pictures in and out in a non-manual way! :P

  9. Oooh!! o.O

    The first one is the first wallpaper to push this off my desktop since it won the screenshot contest back in december 2004.

    ...

    Yeah, I don't change wallpaper very often.
  10. That is a great picture. Well done!

    Allow a percentage slider for missions from 100% infamy/influence to 100% prestige.

    This way you can get 50/50 if you would like to do both.

    That is, I think, one of the best idea I have heard this year.

    I mean probably one of the biggest screw ups in the last year in any major MMO I'd say if not the biggest...the entire heroside loses large amounts of rare items and inf...

    Way to go on blowing this completely out of proportions!

    Read the posts before blowing up man. They are taking the necessary steps to correct the loss.

    Besides, it was hardly the entire heroside.
  13. Oooh, that is very very cool!

    Gratz on a great piece.

    That's a great angle for that shot there Alex I think I'm going to have trouble coming up with a second and different style of costume for Great Britannic though

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Hot damn! That is probably the best costume I have ever seen. Love it!

    CoH Mousepad

    Damn Knight, that is quite awesome.

    If I were using a mouse, I would definitely print and laminate this. (I am using a trackball...)

    Good work! And congratulations on the 105 (I have no clue about that scale, but from context it seems like a good grade).

    Very very nice. If that's a first attempt, then I'm dying to see your second

    1357 stands for the 13th day of May, 2007. On that day, the truck in question will be animated and will see it transform from truck into Optimus. Of course this is also the anniversary date of CoH.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Not quite, CoH launched on April 28th, 2004. I can't remember if that was the pre-launch or the actual launch though.

    I like your theory though
  20. I have a few updates on my sketch of "Seahawk in Flight".

    Oh and I really don't see the problem with your posting in .png

    .png is higher quality and I think people can stand the extra load time (which is only noticeable on dial-up) to see the highest quality image they can.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Seconded.. I vastly prefer .png over pretty much anything.

    EDIT: Oh and I love your style, very very nice and golden-age'ish... +WATCHED on dA.
