    Not opening them, just trying to acquire them so I can play because the updater isn't working here (and I don't blame the updater).
  2. I may still need help with this, not sure if Resident is going to be able to get it done.

    I'm in a pretty rural area of France, not much wifi around :|
  4. I'm currently away from home, and my internet connection sucks. The updater simply will not work, it keeps stopping at fixing files sound.pigg 0 bytes/second. It's taken me several hours to get this far (I've tried twice), but it keeps getting stuck at sound.pigg for some reason. I'd really like to get my client patched up so I can take advantage of the character transfers and take part in the RPS contest.

    So, would anyone be kind enough to seed a torrent of just the latest sound.pigg file and link it to me? A direct download won't be any good, as it cuts out every few minutes, so I have to use a torrent.

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can do this!

    Edit: The majorpatch file would be great too

    If someone gets me up and running before Tuesday (RPS contest ends on Wednesday), I'll buy them the Complete Collection booster. That may require some other .pigg files if it gets stuck again though.

    Nope, it's blocked for them.
  6. I have a proxy if you want to use it, it should work. PM me if you want details.
  7. Awww, they were great fun Be sure to keep the screenshot one when they are back.

    Also, they better return before there are new costume codes
  8. Boo: Comic/Culture changes.

    Yay: Rest of it.

    Perhaps just change Comic/Culture to 'Off Topic'?
  9. From the CoV Beta:
    • Fur Shoulders (Both the shoulder only and full chest versions, both seen in this thread)
    • Pirate Shirt
    • Wrap Face (I think it's the face that the ninja pets have)

    And other stuff:
    • Malaise pattern
    • Trousers with a pattern on the top and the bottom
    • Non-shiny versions of the now-shiny costume pieces (this was mentioned in the other thread, but this seems like where it should be)

    Also, it wasn't ever available to players, but I'd kill for one of those Troll heads that I have been smashing for 5 years.
  10. Noble Savage. Very cool.

    And is that a new costume change emote?
  11. Well, it looks like Redbone wins. The others didn't paste the text.
  12. I know exactly where that is.

    Dammit
  14. Wow, people are fast o.0
  15. Yeah. Starting to loose a little faith here.

    The fact they won't even sell us that preorder bonus is even more annoying.

    Oh and....has the option of just allowing us to buy the PO bonus as a booster been brought up at all over there? If not, could you forward it to the relevant people? Us completionists need our stuffs
  17. How about.... only allow trial accounts to post new threads in the player questions board.

    Barely. Many EU players report less lag on the US servers.

    No, but it supports the transfer of characters from one server cluster to another. A tool to copy account flags can't be very difficult to develop.

    That's all we need really.

    There's a whole subject of discussion called "The Philosophy of Language", and I believe one of the topics in that is "Can someone be lying when they, themselves, were sincere but did not know the truth?"

    They contradicted themselves, sure. You are, however, obviously trying to get some mileage out of the word "Lie". It's that gambit that I'm challenging.
    True. I guess I'm more annoyed by the lack of European love.

    As I said in another thread: If they don't get some deal sorted with a European retailer, then they should just give it out for free to all EU prepurchasers - It's the only fair thing to do.

    Well then they could've just not included that sentence if they weren't sure yet. That sentence probably tipped the scale for many people, and now they are erasing it.

    By pre-ordering, you got to play with the sets early. That was YOUR CHOICE. FYI, I did not pre-order because I wasn't willing to spend extra. I'm patient. The free month of game time was more important to me than getting to use the sets early. And that was my choice.
    Yes, but they also announced back then that there were going to be no bonuses for preordering at retail. They lied.
