Hey I'm not talking about people getting everything genericed as soon as their account goes inactive. That would be total BS. But somewhere between 90 days at the earliest and 6 months seems reasonable to me. After that the company has a business to run and should be concerned with people paying their subs.

That sounds like a billing error then and you should talk to them about it to get it resolved.

It won't stop people from deleting them unopened and still complaining they weren't told.

They get told the same thing we tell players who lost character names because their account was inactive when the devs ran the name freeing script.

They have no claim to any names if they aren't paying to keep their account active. Here's a free rename token, deal with it.

Punishing paying customers is worse than penalizing people who aren't even customers.

I suggested all the names being used on inactive accounts should have been freed up like they do with the character name script so anyone on the EU accounts would have gotten them if they were actively using them.

Thank you, and that's plenty of time for an NA player to have gotten it first. If indeed that is what happened. As I said before unless they are in a situation like you yourself are in they have no idea who got a given name first and so really can't say a name was "pinched".

I strongly believe whoever got the name first should get to keep it.

"Pinched"? I'm sorry that you had to go thru this Virtue but unless you are in a situation like Floating Fat Man and you had an NA account where you used that as your global name, then it isn't that hard to believe that an NA player chose that name for his own account first back in 2004 before the EU servers even launched.

And considering how often NA players complain about how hard it is to come up with character names because all the easy ones have been taken, it makes it much more believable that someone on the Virtue server grabbed @Virtue that first year because it's an obvious name to grab.


Again, sorry you had to go thru this and I look forward to seeing you on our servers.

Since the crew of the Destiny has the ability to manufacture hi tech parts out of unrefined ores they can cobble together what they need to do some food preservation. Even if they couldn't do that much they would have at least had plenty of time to relearn the simple techniques of salting, pickling, brining, and drying food.


They made a still for crying out loud. If they can figure out a way to make booze they can figure out how to make beef jerky and dried fruits and veggies.


And heaven forbid they hadn't learned those skills by now they just encountered their own descendants who were stranded on a world for 30 years after losing contact with Novis and they could have gotten those skills and equipment from them.


So there's no reason for them to use stasis pods as freezers.

If they are going to do hand deliveries could they have mine delivered by Karen Gillan or Summer Glau?

That makes as much sense as using snow making machines in Antarctica.

Why waste resources on life support keeping a stasis pod active to freeze food in when the same effect can be achieved by turning off life support in a storage room that can hold several hundred times more perishable supplies.

How could they know if it would work or not when they never considered it in the first place.

If they had checked the pods then I would accept that they had enough information about them to know if they would work or not.

Yes it's much better to fall back on piss poor writing rather than make an effort to produce strong entertaining cliffhanger that leaves people wanting to lobby for the shows return..

Ya mean like this place? Which actually exists.

Now put the zombie home on top of this place and we have a nice fortress.

Of course the zombie house needs just a few changes.

1. Get rid of all the sliding doors and windows except for the drawbridge.

2. Where the hell is the concrete moat? Two of them in fact. One around the house itself and another just outside the property walls with another drawbridge.

3. Double the height and thickness of the property walls, and put a third floor on the house. And add some ramparts like Castles have.

4. The roof should have room for Windmills and solar panels for power, a helipad, and greehouse for growing plants.

5. Wherever the place is located it should have an indoor well sunk for a secure fresh water supply.

This is the internet where opinions are in abundance and there will always be people complaining about something the company did or didn't do. It doesn't mean the people making the complaints are right, it just means it's another average day at the office.

Oh please they never even considered the stasis pods. They had plenty of time to check and repair them before they ever had to refuel at the blue star.

The stasis pods would have been great to use to safely transport the stranded colonists. They could have found out then that some needed repair and gotten them fixed before they even went to the blue star and had some of the material stored in case future repairs were needed.

With the gate destroyed and the drones gone they could have used the shuttles and stocked up on fresh food, put it into a cargo room and turned off life support so it would be frozen to last longer, and refueled Destiny at that star.

Then if they actually decided that the pods couldn't be used while refueling at the blue star then fine using the gate would be the next best choice.

Then this episode they could have simply put everyone into stasis and make the jump to the next galaxy without getting into the pointless fight with the drones and blowing up one of the shuttles. Or they could have continued on thru the galaxy by bypassing the motherships outside the path of the stargates at least until the drones figured out something was wrong and tried to find them again. The farther thru the galaxy they got the less time they'd have to spend in stasis when they made the jump to the next galaxy.

Now Mandu did make a valid argument for attacking the Motherships. Getting drones and reprogramming them would be a good idea to add to the ships defenses.


Of course the writers had to get rid of the shuttles or at least one of them because that makes the crew dependent on the stargates for supplies. Can't have people asking silly questions like, "Why don't they just use the shuttles?" or "Why don't they just use the stasis chambers until they find a place where they can resupply food and water?" or "If the planet has wild game they can hunt and eat, why don't they kill a bunch of alien deer and freeze it in an unused storage room by turning off the life support and take it out as needed."

That is always a possibility but I'm seeing more people in the various zones ever since GR went live, and the number of PM's and invites have increased a lot as well. And I rarely play during prime hours.

Personally I agree with you but I must admit I do get a kick out of watching people argue otherwise.

I know. I let that slide last week.
