    I think the comparative ease of doing the MO requirements as they stand now is made up for by having to run the thing three times. It seems a fair trade off IMO.
  2. The song isn't my cup of tea but that's a great video!

    That doesn't work properly and never has.
  4. Yes please. It would be nice to have the EU servers showing on a status page that actually works for once.
  5. I would also be interested in an answer to Rabbit's question. Do I need to uninstall the EU test server and install the US one ?

    'Union Chat' already exists and has done for a looong time
  7. I got booted from Union at around 8:35pm UK time but it seemed to resolve itself after 5 or 10 minutes.
  8. I have experienced this too. I think it started around issue 19 and seems to start in the early evening UK time. Mornings and afternoons seem fine.

    The same goes for me too, thanks for the fun!
  10. My 2nd account survived intact, cunningly named @ohms 2
  11. Renamed my main account from @ohms to @ohmsEU. Not the end of the world
  12. During the recent Dev meet and greet I asked about cross server teaming and Posi answered that it was on their schedule although there were technical limitations still to be overcome. I would say that was more likely to happen than server merges or a "server-less" environment, at least in the medium term.
  13. Anyone else finding the forums slow again today?

    Thanks, I didn't know that. I'll give it a try once the servers are back up

    ETA:

    Assemble team seems to work just as well
  15. Unless I am mistaken, the Edge of Chaos explore badge in Atlas should be on the Hero/Vigilante list. Whilst it may be flagged as available to rogues, they can't actually reach the thing.

    The US to EU server transfer didn't go offline until January 2007. My SG mostly made the move when CoV went live in 2005 so the base thing wasn't an issue for us but may have been for others. For unknown reasons, the characters came across without any inf or prestige but with enhancements, so we loaded up the characters with the SOs we would get most for on re-sale (level 50 damage I believe).

    They also didn't have the ability to get more than 8 (or 12, for a CoH/CoV combo account) character slots until May 2008, so they couldn't possibly have given you free character slots for an NA->EU server transfer.
    From looking at my old emails it appears you're right, I think I got confused with the 4 additional slots for applying the CoV code. If we only had a CoH account, we had to do the transfer/apply EU CoV code in a particular order or it messed things up a bit.
  17. The passport badge (along with a couple of free character slots) were given to us as incentive/compensation for losing all our inf (except what we could carry in SOs), prestige and SG bases when we made the move from US to EU. Of course, Issue 9 combined with reactivation weekends let us recover most of the inf, less a 10% fee

    Congratulations

    Congratulations to the happy couple
  20. When they introduced the new veteran reward system last year it seemed to break things for all of us transferees. You will need to contact support and don't take no for an answer. They may tell you that transferring from US to EU never happened and I can give you some links to pass on to them if that's the case
  21. I asked about cross-server teaming and got this reply

    04-28-2011 17:46:00 [Broadcast] Positron: I'd love for cross server teaming to become a reality, I know it's on a schedule, but there are a ton of programming tasks ahead of it.
  22. It was active on the EU servers before I logged off for the night at around 10:30pm UK time.
