And of course, this wouldn't avoid the Satin Rouge Angles running around. >.>

I think "no, thanks." Especially with Freedom, as I'm running into people fairly regularly who are coming back saying "I haven't played in quite some time." We want to keep them.

I *do,* however, think something like that should apply to:

- Old trial accounts. Their globals were all renamed "trial *random string*" so they're not that hard to find. Pop up a message for when they log in, IF they do, asking them to pick a global name (or have it revert to whatever the first character is, then give the message.) 90 days and they get freed up.

- Banned accounts. Given I still have a list full of spammers, and I doubt most people want oluiadf89234... still, those should just be completely cleared.


Also:
- Accounts that haven't been on in a year get an email. "Come back. If you don't plan to, please free up your names, click here."

- Accounts that are old enough to not have a global - well, the names under 35 *are* freed up from an old script. See if they reply. If not, archive 'em after 180 days after trying to make contact with an email or two like those above.

Asked for before. Given our devs *own* pile of typos and the like, I don't think I'd leave it to them. Generally, though, sure, it'd be helpful.

For now, type it up in a word processor or the like, then copy it over.

Honestly, I'd like to go the other way - more less-than-6-piece sets with decent bonuses, and a few "free agent" IOs (either generic, say, End/Acc for instance, or oddballs like Heal/EndMod, or a proc, possibly some with 100% chance for a small effect.)

If you want to avoid a certain person's intent to argue in almost every post:

It's like the Coyote travel power in that it changes your form, into a panther (surprise, I know.) +Speed (IIRC) +Jump, and a toggleable stealth.

If you run your Claws/Nin Stalker (happen to have that as well,) you're not going to be attacking with it. It has 40ft of stealth - fine for most PVE purposes, stuff that'll see you will tend to ignore stealth anyway, but it won't stack with Hide.

You can't attack from it. You will need to retoggle after using it.

So, if you don't mind the form shift and retoggle for the sake of concept, grab it. If you're looking for Ninja Run +Stealth, this isn't it.

Coolest? Eh. Hess isn't bad, I'll grant, but it's mostly for the robot.

I still like the main Eden trial map. Nothing like it in the game. Huge, very organic, giant bones scattered here and there, it's just incredible looking.

Altitis is not a disease. A disease implies it's something negative, something to be avoided. Altitis, instead, is something to be celebrated!

For too long those of us with altitis have been told we "suffer" from it. And yet, if someone wants to know if someone's played a powerset, who can probably answer? The Altitis 'sufferer!"

Who gets to know more of the game, from seeing a different way through? The altitis "sufferer!"

Who probably has someone in range of whatever you want to run (and is likely to be getting that needed salvage or drop?) The altitis "sufferer."

And "Bad for the SG?" I don't know how anyone can say that with anything close to a straight face.

Of course, the immediate linking with a PLing farmer shows the *immediate* bigotry and misunderstanding that we "sufferers" of Altitis have to put up with on a daily basis. Note also the utter misunderstanding of just what a unique and precious thing a character is! To think someone can suggest "just make a whole new person without rerolling" is, of course, ludicrous! Each and every character deserves to have a life of their own, their own story, the full use of all the costume slots they've earned! Would you tell a company that needs to hire new people that they can do just as well having their existing employees just change clothes partway through the day? Of course not! How about telling your spouse who wants another child that you can just have little Timmy put on a dress every other day and pretend he's the daughter she wants? Of course you wouldn't! So why should this be a "cure" for altitis?

Not to mention those of us - not always the older of us - who have multiple accounts. Who can bring along the buffer? The "sufferer" of altitis! Who can add "just one more person" when you need it just to start? The "sufferer" of altitis! And don't forget those of us who subscribe and/or buy things for both accounts - we're helping *even more* to fund the game - the *designed to be alt-friendly* game! - that some would deny our particular enjoyment of.

No, we altaholics do not "suffer" from altitis. We are not bad for your supergroup or the game. We are an army unto ourselves (moreso if we keep making masterminds.) It's time to stand up and trample the misunderstanding and *derision* of altitis into the ground, to say no more, to say loud and with pride from millions of voices "No, we do not 'suffer' from altitis! We cherish and enjoy it!"

M_B - 307 alts and counting!

Most of mine tend to be name-names or something it's doubtful would be someone's first, second or third choice. Still:

Clair de Lune (manged to keep during a transfer, too!)
Compulsion
Brimstone Cowboy - apparently this is more *others* being surprised than me.
Family Joules - fairly obvious for electric....
Home Fires
Ex Caliber (he should never have left her the guns....)
Home Guard
Unnatural Acts
