  2. Is there a link to a thread where people are stating they are opposed to changing the name of the power set because this is the first time I've ever heard it was even being discussed.
  3. I always have my email restrictions enabled and I have never had any trouble sending myself emails.
  4. As I recall the devs thought the reward tokens were going to be given out differently.
  5. <sigh> Still waiting on Itunes to send me this episode.
  6. I've already seen the movie and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    It seems odd to me that they would reject someone's PayPal payment. But I don't use PP for much of anything, so I have little experience with it.
    It was a violation of the old rules as well. Posting anyones personal info has always been forbidden.

    Edit: And just to be clear I'm not agreeing with the devs decisions on these topics. Just guessing at their motivations for their decisions on why Prems can't pay rent.
  10. So seeing River with the redacted, I'm wondering if she really is the redacted that is also redacted her redacted. And if River and redacted are the same redacted, when did she redacted her redacted? River supposedly died at the Library and she had both of her redacted then.

    Does that mean River was redacted from the Library and eventually becomes redacted? If so what happened to make her redacted the Doctor? Could killing the Doctor actually be a plot by River to save him? Is it possible that the redacted River redacted herself as a redacted to trick the Silence into believing she killed the Doctor while in reality she was betraying them?
  11. The devs have gone on record saying the free transfers will stack. I just can't find the dang post.

    I guess the bottom line is that as long I am not having to pay extra for those 400 points per month in addition to my subscription. Because that would truely blow.
    The headstart covers the month of September. All points after September will be awarded on your accounts billing date.

    Was your account active in September? If not you won't get any points until November 1st. If it was active you may simply have to wait until the hour your account was first made active.

    For example. I started my account on the evening on the 9th of the month and in 7 years I have always gotten my rewards for being subscribed on the evening of the 9th.

    2 days ago was Sept 28. It's Oct 1. You still have 27 days before you get your points.

    Going forward from October you will receive your Paragon Points on your game account's billing date as long as you maintain VIP status.

    The devs told us back in July that the Paragon Points would be awarded on our accounts billing date.

    Well the devs have always been against solo SG's. This can easily be seen as the devs manipulating the system to force Prem's and VIP's to co-mingle and integrate the community.

    Your already getting something for nothing, and your whining about not getting more for nothing. Yet your surprised at peoples responses. Grow up, there ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

    The game obviously needs more people paying more or it wouldn't have gone hybrid/f2p.
    And the simple fact that every game that has switched to the hybrid/F2p business model has found it to be a huge moneymaking success has nothing to do with it. Riiiiight.

    Yet the little restrictions like this are deal breakers for some.
    Fine. You can't please everyone.

    There's zero reason I can see for premium players being unable to pay base upkeep.
    That's because you dismiss anything that doesn't conform to your point of view.

    The devs are selling extra storage slots on the market. If Prems could pay rent they could make solo bases and use them for free storage instead of buying extra storage off the market.

    So if Prems want access to SG storage they need to get over their elitist attitudes and invite a VIP to their SG's. That's right I said elitist. Why? Because base permissions allow players of any rank to pay rent, and storage access can easily be restricted to Prem leadership.

    If he cut down on his beer intake he wouldn't be PPing so much.

    So it is expensive to get if you aren't a subscriber or you don't have a lot of vet rewards accumulated before Freedom launched.

    Not really. Before I9 it wasn't needed, and after the chat/email restrictions almost all of the RMT spam stopped other than a few guys in /local which you don't notice unless you are next to them.

    I have better things to do with my game time than filling up my ignore list and going thru it to delete RMT spam every single time I log on.

    Yes I can easily add 100 spammers to my ignore list each night.

    But seriously - I might have moved to Exalted if they made the move free, but I'm not paying to move 40+ characters.
    Transfer alts to Exalted? Not me. I made new ones and happily got my global back as a character name.
  25. I've no objection to adding a permanent license but account wide would probably be expensive.
