    Server Crash?

    It's working fine here...
  3. I've always thought that, but the chances of them actually DOING it are slim to none. Don't forget they're in a completely different time zone, and in the past, the devs have had their heads bitten off for posting over here.

    Which unless I'm mistaken, isn't available for Maestro.

    Which was the point Zortel was making.
  5. ... I thought they'd fixed this problem...

    Anyway, if you send an in-game petition using the /petition command (You'll need to give it a subject, something like /petition Trial account upgrade problems), then the GM's can resolve the problem for you. Looks like some setting in your account didn't flip properly when you subbed.

    Edit: Oh, and welcome to the game. Once the GM's fix your problem, I hope you enjoy your stay!
  6. I did it for the first time a week or so ago, and spotted that the instant I saw Daedalus... Was kinda obvious!

    Alas for poor Gangrel, she saw the state of him at Omega Sektor, and she was NOT amused!
  18. Outside in the cold night air, Cara burned. Flames twisted around her form of ice, blackening the flagstones and licking dangerously close to the huge Christmas tree as the young mutant tried to calm herself down.

    The dress Ellie had made her had long given up the fight against her fire, and a few charred remains lay smoking on the ground, rapidly shrivelling up from the heat as Cara buried her face in her hands.

    The doors to Unity Tower opened and a Valkyrie class Vigilant android strode out, a stripe of blonde visible in it's otherwise black hair, Bodicia's favourite avatar. She strode up to Cara and stood before her with hands on hips, unflinching against the intense heat.

    "My my my, someone get you a little hot under the collar, Cara? What would your Ryan think, hmm? All his hard work teaching you to control yourself going up in smoke, along with the tree if you're not careful."

    Cara's head snapped up, finally taking note of where she was, and her fire flared brightly for an instant before dying down to it's regular flicker, just enough to prevent her ice form from freezing solid. "I... I didn't realise... Sorry."

    Bodicia clucked dissaprovingly. "Really Cara, you must be more aware of your surroundings!"

    Cara nodded and glanced up at the tree. "Sorry... I... I'll go back to my room then..."

    Bodicia's nodded and a small smirk graced her lips. "Take the roof entrance please, I'm sure you have no desire for your classmates to see your current state of attire."

    Cara looked at her puzzled, then looked down at herself in horror. "Oh god!" Flames lept up around her body again, obscuring the details, and she rose quickly into the air, rocketing skywards and heading for the roof of Vigilance tower. Behind her, Bodi smiled and picking up the last remnants of Cara's outfit, walked back to Unity Tower.

    In this case then the chances are you have the EU client but a US account.


    That's my guess if your having the same trouble at a friends house.

    If that was the case, he wouldn't be able to post here...

    @OP, Please paste here the contents of the TARGET line in your game shortcut.

    Well yes

    Although Planetside did the whole merge thing and hasn't seemed to suffer for it.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Actually subscriptions picked up for a good while as people came back to enjoy the larger battles (And get blasted by my Magrider. Suck it Emerald [censored]!) . In fact I can't think of any game with a stable population dying off due to a server merge.

    Plenty that did when they were already dying, but that was hardly the merges fault was it?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It's a combination of things, and one of the big factors is age of the game. If a fairly young game starts to merge servers, it's usually taken as a clear sign of problems. Take Auto Assault for example. Merging CAN be less fatal to a very old game, as it's more likely to be seen as just down to age and attrition, that they're just consolidating things; but it can just as easily be seen as a portent of doom.
