  1. Looks like nothing new is being released this week. However the people that missed out on the Roman/Pocket D packs that were offered during the Valentines event shoul be pleased

    The guy did a fantastic job, but did anyone else notice he has the door to the bridge closing from the wrong side?

    And exactly how does that solve the problem of not knowing how many characters are on each server without having to log into each individual server?

    The warning was there, you simply chose to ignore it.

    An old account would have to have 6 months activity to have unlocked Tier 2 rewards. Lots of people have less than 6 months, and only the devs know how many thousands of trials exist that have less than 1 month.

    I think he's from Texas. How different is their film rating system?

    Triple-X was never a film rating. It was a marketing gimmick.

  9. If I'm reading this correctly yo're saying when you try to send a "Tell" to another player you are getting a confusing message that says to get the "Power Level 2 Pack".


    I'm guessing that means you haven't unlocked the Tier 2 paragon rewards yet. You need to assign two Paragon Reward Tokens to unlock the ability to send tells to other players.


    Here's the wiki page that explains Paragon Rewards.

    I'd say that depends on the buyers motives for buying packs. I haven't been buying packs for the costumes. When I get them it's because I want to sell the ATO's on the market for quick half billion inf that I can use on whatever project I'm working on.

    As long as ATO's are selling for tens and hundreds of millions of inf, I will always be willing to burn a few Paragon Rewards on Super Packs. Why waste time grinding mindless farms when I can get what I want for 30 seconds of buying and selling the stuff from the packs.

    Besides my paragon rewards are just sitting there accumulating and gathering virtual dust between releases of Tier 9 costumes. Other than the packs there's nothing else I'm willing to spend my rewards on.


    And that's not counting all the stuff I can get with the reward merits the packs give out.

    Just anticipating the discussion getting rehashed again for the umpteenth time while the popcorn gets popped. Not sayin the OP is wrong, or right.

    So's XXX but that's successfully been used as a name for a super spy in at least two movies that I can think of. (maybe even three or four if that vague feeling I'm getting is correct)

    In fact many of the big MMO's have unique name policies and of them, many are even more restrictive than this game where the player has to choose a unique 1 word name.

    DDO
    LOTRO
    WoW
    AoC
    DCUO
    SWTOR
    GW
    Warhammer Online
    Aion
    Lineage II

    So the truth is that unique naming policies are an industry standard feature.

    Oh and before the inevitable "I don't want to use a foreign language for a name." whining starts. The truth of the matter is there is no such thing as a name in "English". Most of the English language is derived from words taken from other languages.

    It's not a matter of difficulty. It's a matter of it being a bad idea.

    That depends on what is being asked for. The script you are referring to doesn't "wipe" any names. It merely flags the names on inactive accounts as available. If the account holder logs into the game before anyone else tries to claim a name then all the names on his account are reset as beng unavailable.

    A name wipe would remove the names altogether from the inactive accounts, which is something the devs have never done.

    Personally I think the OP is referring to the name freeing script which the devs have made clear they have no intention of running again at any time in the near future if ever.
  16. Can't say it bothers me much. My favorite Ghostbuster has always been Akroyd.

    Server selection

    Suggestion seems overly complicated. I'd much rather see something like

    Champion (0)
    Virtue (12)
    Freedom (6)
    Justice (18)

    Not entirely accurate. That was the second time it was run. The first time it was run the level was set at 35 and under. The devs looked at the names that were freed up and saw that most of the names being freed were garbage names like bfdsrew547, or nameofRMTsite, so they decided to lower the level to 6 when they ran it again.

  20. You have no idea how much I'm hoping that they've decided to work on a new system and keeping it under a tight wall of silence to surprise us rather than they've completely given up on doing anything and refuse to admit it.

    True. It would be better. Assuming of course that they weren't looking for someone worse than Arnold.
