  1. Was the in-game store down when this happened? I've noticed that when the store is down, the 15 second delay is gone. I'm not sure exactly how those two things are related, but it's been pretty consistent.

    No, it was never going to launch today. Subscribers start accumulating the monthly points stipend today. But we have nothing to spend those points on until launch, which will likely be late summer or early autumn.

  4. Looks like 2 billion is not the cap from that screenshot, since Evil Souls has 2,003,793,500 prestige.

    Guest of honor is Stan 'The Man' Lee!

    Also, J.M. DeMatteis, Keith Giffen and Kevin Macguire of Justice League International infamy will be there. And many other cool guests, too.

    So, I'll be there. Anyone else?

  7. Uh, Spider Man has been the flagship character for Marvel pretty much since his creation. Cap is a bigger figure to the characters inside the Marvel Universe, but Spidey has never been second rank to him as far as the "face of Marvel."

    I recall that scene but not the bit where he said "I can go all day" in the previous trailer, just him holding up the trashcan lid like a shield. If there was another one where he said that, I must not have seen it.

    Yeah from previous trailers I was a little worried that we were going to see a portrayal of Steve as a bullied, scared little kid who only becomes a hero AFTER the serum. Good to see that they are getting the soul of the character right, from what we saw here.


  12. Okay that is Captain America. And having Tool in the trailer just made it extra awesome.

    This movie needs to be in theaters. Now.

    Why not?

    Good work, citizen!
  14. Too early to tell, not enough information. It could work the way you describe, but it could also mean something like freebies only get one market slot, or can only buy but not sell, or can only make transactions up to a certain value...

    I think we need to get the details before we can really make any educated guesses about the effects.

    Blade was mostly unknown outside of the core fans -- it was a good action/vampire flick that happened to be based on a comic. I think X-Men was really the one that got things rolling because it took characters who were clearly from comic books and treated them mostly seriously. Spider-man followed up that success showing that you could actually use the costume.
    This about sums it up. To use a baseball analogy, I think Blade was the lead man on base, X-Men put the runners in scoring position, and Spider Man knocked it out of the park.

    I play almost exclusively villainside and it's because the quality of the content is so much better, even if the quantity is smaller. So I don't feel villains are screwed at all.

    I think Christopher Reeve was great, and the score was great, but just about everything else about those movies was awful.
  18. My girlfriend seems to love most of the old Doctors but hates Matt Smith. I love Matt Smith but hate - pretty much all the other ones. So between us, we've got it covered.
  19. We need a Scrooge McDuck style swimming pool filled with gold coins. Complete with diving board.
  20. I have only one character that I'm going gung-ho after Incarnate powers (the rest of my 50's are on the "I'll get it when I get it" plan) so I fully anticipate getting most, if not all, of the available Lore pets for her. Because what... Rularuu? Storm Elementals? Carnies? HOW DO I CHOOSE?

    Aquaman (yea hes been listed already)
    Hawkman was listed too, however what about Hawkgirl/woman?
    Martian Manhunter.....come on this character is basically Batman and Superman wrapped in one....surely someone could do something with him....yes sure his weakness towards fire is cheesy....still....
    All of these were featured heavily in Brightest Day.

    Blue Beetle...Ted Kord...sure he was killed, but then when does some getting killed off ever kept them from coming back from the dead?
    Check out the most recent Booster Gold trade. Especially if you were ever a fan of the old Giffen/DeMatteis Justice League International. Must read. For that matter, so is Justice League: Generation Lost.
  25. I will gladly sell you all my circuit boards... and other non-rare salvage... for 1 inf per piece. As long as no one else forces me to take more than that for them.
