The only way to prevent this is to set the leadership expiration to max (45 days, I believe) and then make sure to log in at least once every 45 days. Or else kick everyone out of the group who is not an alt or a trusted friend. No way to get it back unless the current leader agrees.

Even before they instituted the Super Leader (the "red star" leader), super group leaders were subject to losing their leadership status for prolonged inactivity. This is nothing new. I took over a group in this fashion (over a year later, and the original leader has still never come back). It's a good thing, too, because I would never have been able to get the base accessible again if leadership hadn't passed to me (permission to pay rent was set to leader only). It's this kind of situation that made this feature necessary.

I agree that this issue seems a bit buggy. Fortunately I haven't experienced any of the major problems that some people have reported, but I've noticed a host of small things. I got hit with the above mentioned Cimerora glitch (both when entering & exiting) and the /stuck command wouldn't get me free. On one of my characters, my power customization choices were reset to default and I had to pay at the tailor to get them set back to what I had before (ok, didn't really pay, I have tailor tokens on that character). A friend that I played with was on hide and couldn't get unhidden even after he verified that all his settings were to not hidden (it persisted even after he changed characters).

I'm not trying to be a complainer, Ultra Mode is great, the new missions are fun, demon summoning is cool, and I love the feature that pinpoints the last mobs on the map for you. But I'd be lying if I said I couldn't see the OP's point. This is the first issue where I've run into any bugs at all, let alone multiple bugs on the first day. Hopefully they'll iron everything out in short order.

I was on Justice hanging around Atlas Park last night between 4-7 pm pst. Talk about your ghost towns. Luckily, I was somehow able to defeat dozens of arch villains and giant monsters all by myself.

As already stated, the event only took place in certain zones (Atlas, Talos Island, Cap Au Diable). Made it easier to find the action, but also easier to avoid for those who did not want to participate. I only encountered the lag in the zones where the event was taking place, and only when I got near the action.

Although the lag was annoying, it was no worse than I've encountered during massive Rikti invasions. And just as those invasions are fun and worth the lag for me, so was the anniversary event.

I have to say, yesterday's 6th anniversary event was pretty cool. My favorite was the group of Jack in Irons standing atop the capital dome in a ring around the flag. I had never fought him before, and yesterday I got to help take down more than half a dozen in 5-10 minutes time.

Last year, during the 5th Anniversary event, I just ran from zone to zone without ever finding anything at all happening. This year it was easy to find arch villains and giant monsters aplenty. I think it was a great idea to limit the event to a few announced zones. Made it easy to zero in on where the action was.

Bravo.

When I logged out last night I saw the updater start, and I let it keep running as I went to bed. However when I checked the computer this morning, the download was only halfway done and it looked like all progress had stopped. In fact the updater window was blinking for some reason. I hit cancel figuring it was a glitch. Now I wish I had left it running to give it a chance to finish while I went to work.

Those Tuatha de Dannans should be banned for using an exploit.

Apparently ambushs can follow you places where enemies normally can't go. I recall hearing about an ambush following someone into a store once before, but in that instance the player reported that the enemies immediately exited as if they realized they weren't supposed to be there. This is the first I've heard of a player actually killed in a store by an ambush.

I 2nd this--I too have reused a name within a couple minutes or less of deleting it.
