Cheeky bugger.

[ QUOTE ]

they'll make my life so much easier in so many ways that I'm pretty sure I want them more than even FFM does.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not a chance in hell... I've put up with these boards since before you even started working for NC!

[ QUOTE ]
Awww, thankyou for the show of faith in my bakey cakeyness everyone... but the Technical Issues and Bugs Forum is FFM's domain and (as i believe he likes to bellow) ...... "None Shall Pass!".

Just pay for it in 6 monthly chunks. If you're concerned about paying over £100 a year, 2 shots of £44 (or whatever it be nowadays) will be a godsend.

[/ QUOTE ]

I, personally, although I could pay in 6 month chunks easily and save myself cash, prefer to pay monthly and give NC the full subscription fee! I happed to think the game is WORTH it and gladly do without the discount.

Maybe I'm mad, but there ya go.

Excellent, thanks for that, i'l stop moaning now

Could be the forum software. It IS total rubbish, after all...

[/ QUOTE ]

Didnt I read somewhere there was to be a major overhaul to different software on the forums?...or was that a ML corrupted cookie induced hallucination?

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope, you read right. New forums are imminent. I'm surprised they've not started the beta already, actually... And asked the people who seem to have the worst problems to use them... *Looks meaningfully at GR*

I now GR got the clarification i even thought should i put GR or GhostRaptor when i was typing so why did i put FFM aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg i have FFM on my brain

*go'd to find mind bleach*

P.s Fixed

[/ QUOTE ]

If you've got ME on your brain, you're going to need something a LOT stronger than mind bleach!

[ QUOTE ]
any ways thanks for getting that clarification GhostRaptor that's what i expected and didn't see the point in commenting until we new one way or the other


[/ QUOTE ]

Credit where it's due please, GR got the clarification, not me.

Have you ever found that, during RP, your chars seem to do stuff that you would never ever ever, not in a zillion years, do yourself? Do you ever find that, it doesn't matter WHAT you plan to do with them, they seem to end up doing something totally different and unexpected?

It's almost like they alive in they're own right.

I do... Especially with my long term character, Ellie. A lot of the time I don't have a CLUE what she's going to get up to from one day to the next. It all seems to come from some hidden part of my mind that the rest of me doesn't have ANY access too; and it's especially noticeable when writing fiction for her.

I almost never plan any of it, it just seems to flow from somewhere deep in my consciousness; kinda like the future painting thing in Heroes.

Am I possessed? Am I going loopy? Am I possibly suffering from MPD? Doesn't anyone else ever experience this with their chars? Has anyone with actual training in these things ever actually done research on such a thing?

Or is this completely normal of RPers and I shouldn't worry about it?

Maybe it's me, but I wouldn't push GR today, even in jest. I have a feeling he's not having the best of days given what he's been clearing up in here lately...

But its Friday and the weekend is nearly here And sure you missed a word out from your sentance....Ahhh crud can't think what it could be..

Oops! Fixed.

And now that I've finished clearing out the crud from this thread a second time in two days:

Some clarification on the word "crud" please

Oh Mumsie won't KILL you... Just ground you for a month, give you lots of chores to do, and take your PC away.

[ QUOTE ]
Weird. When I open the General Discussion page I'm getting a load of old threads (including the What do you look like one) instead of the more recent ones.

Anyone else getting this??

[/ QUOTE ]

I've seen that from time to time as well. Usually sorts itself out but you could try clearing your cookies.

I've asked for clarification on the quote, so for the time being let's stop arguing with each other about what it may or may not mean depending on varying interpretations of context. It's all merely opinion for now; and, I must say, both sides have valid opinions based on currently available information.

[/ QUOTE ]

Clarification received:

Positron's quote should not be taken to mean that Architect will be the only thing in Issue 14. Issue 14 will include other material as well. What was meant here is that Architect is seen as a strong enough feature to be the headliner of the issue. This mimics previous issues, where (for example) Issue 11 was named after Ouroborus and Issue 9 after Inventions.

The team just aren't ready to discuss anything in Issue 14 beyond the already known Mission Architect feature at the current time.

[/ QUOTE ]

Pretty much exactly what I figured. Thank you for getting clarification on this, GR.

Filling prevents you from getting REAL team me invites. There, that good enough reason for you?

EDIT: Can't type anymore

[ QUOTE ]
If you are in a mission the /search will say so and you cannot be invited to a team... the only people to get /t's would be the ones that are yes,,, out a mission, not in a team, and doing nothing that filling would interfere with.



[/ QUOTE ]

I get plenty of fill requests, despite my search comment AND being in a mission. I even get people telling me to drop my mission and fill for them!

Not True, I said people who don't want to be contacted should play a console instead.


[/ QUOTE ]

Any people who bother people who've said they don't want to be bothered should work for telesales, as clearly they like annoying people.

If it turns out that the Mission Architect IS the sole content of Issue 14, I think you'll have to turn the forums off for the weekend.

The servers are open, therefore the server population is viable.


[/ QUOTE ]

FFM is right but it does make me wonder whats going to happen when even the die hards get sick of paying for a game they dont play. Because active accounts are no longer a measure of playing players.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh I won't be surprised if something along the lines of a "server consolidation" (sounds better than merger) doesn't happen at some point. If handled right it could work out better for the game; BUT there are several problems involved in doing it, and WILL result in some people canceling their subs.

It's kinda of a tough situation to be in really. Reducing the number of servers will reduce monthly costs, but it will also result in a loss of total subscribers as people will inevitably lose either character names, SG/VG names, or even global names if EU "consolidated" with US, and will cancel because of that. What they have to carefully weigh up is whether the savings in running costs and increased server population will justify the inevitable drop in subscribers.

Also, in most cases, server merges are an indicator of a dying game; a stigmata NC would certainly wish to avoid giving the incoming competition.

[ QUOTE ]
I would like to ask a question - this:
How is it possible that these figures are correct and there not be a "population problem"?


[/ QUOTE ]

The answer to your question is really quite simple. NC have known about these figures FAR longer than we have, and yet the servers are STILL there, with (according to GR), no plans to change the status quo.

That simple statement tells us that the current server populations are still profitable. No company in its right mind will continue to run servers if its making a loss as servers are ridiculously expensive to run. NC have proven in the past that if numbers drop too low, they WILL shut servers down; CoH Korea is an example of that.

Of course, the current status COULD change in the future, but the current facts are clear. The servers are open, therefore the server population is viable.

Erm, is that a premium member restricted interview?

I'm not paying to read that.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's weird... It was fine this morning, and now it's restricted? How odd.

[ QUOTE ]
Meh... I got logs going back to 2005, and that isn't even all the way back to the start of CoH, plus there's LARP, plus there's PnP... No way am I dredging that lot for some 'favourite RP moment' which will get dropped in favour of another one at some point anyway. I'm just too lazy.

Mind you, War Crow's harem was funny.
Velvet and Jessica were often funny.
Janson and Dinah is... worse then Richard on Viagra...

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, that took place on 12/10/2005, if it helps. I didn't have to hunt far as I remembered it clearly, and I have every log from every night ever.

[ QUOTE ]
While thankful that I did... how did I miss that?

I have no idea, I don't think there was ANYone at GG that wasn't on the verge of wetting themselves that night...

Well, apart from that guy with the itchy bum...
