Consider this my RSVP for a luncheon.

To join a channel say like the N P C global channel, down in your chat line type in...

/join_chan "N P C"

Note the spaces and the quotes, both are required.

Oh, want to see your character from the front when you're outside of the costume creator? Hold down the 'Page Up' key while holding down your right mouse button and moving. That will rotate the camera around. 'Page Down' (or 'B' as well, I think) will reset your camera position.

Welcome the CoX, FullproofGambit.

Already a lot of good information has been passed on, I just wanted to touch on one thing mentioned in your OP.

Do not concern yourself about the so-called grind to max-level. CoX has always been geared for the creation of alts and you will hear it often in these parts "It's not about the destination, it's about the journey."

There are tonnes of things to do on your way to 50, not a whole to do once you get there (compared to the rest of the content of the game that is.)

I bought the GameStop Pre-Order and a boxed version, because I have to have a box.

Here's an idea I'd like to see implemented.

Please put a hard-cap on avatar file size.

Welcome to CoX, BlueMyth.

I started playing 3 years ago, and will likely still be playing when they turn off the lights and pry the servers from my cold, dead hands.

Feel free to ask questions, the forums are generally a friendly and helpful lot. Another option is to click on the Mentor Project in my sig. You will find players that have knowledge of the game and have volunteered to share it with new players, either in-game or here in the forums.

What I like about your post id that it's fresh and new. It really gives us the perspective of someone that has never played CoX before.

I will reiterate what others have said City of... is not about the destination, it's about the journey. Much of the content is not about the end-game. Matter of fact they more than doubled the 1-20 level content with Praetoria. I know that most of my friends (and myself included) have turned off their XP gain just to spend more time in Praetoria and experience the content.

The stories are engaging and really speak to the RP aspect of CoX and it's RP community, but outside of that, I find them to be really fun as well. Though Praetoria often gets called "City of Ambushes", just remember, there is no dishonour in running away to fight another day, well, as long as you're not abandoning teammates.

Edit: Someone mentioned about server population, keep in mind that much of the content in the game is instanced, so it may seem as if there are not a lot of people on because they will be in a mission map as opposed to out in the open world.

Head down to the Champion server and introduce yourself. Also, you will want to mention in your team search that you are on a trial account. Click on Team at the top of your chat window, and type you comment into the text box above that something like "Temp account, please send invite." or something to that effect if you are looking for a team. Most players will realized that you cannot respond to tells.

I'll be there.

The last couple of issues have introduced major sound updates, and yes, I think the glowie got quieter.

Head down to this thread...


How to silence specific game sounds (or change them)

Substitute something not in game, like a barking dog.

I know of someone that changed theirs out for "Hey! Hey! Over here!"

I call my Earth Controller's pet 'Kitty Litter', of course my Controller's name is Loam.

My Dark Servant on another character gets called 'Smudge'.

Happy Hatching Day, Trickshooter!

I think Mod12 should join us as well and I'd be willing to change my avatar to this for 30 days...
