Basically they are adding 1 brand new shiny server with the release of COH:Freedom.

If you are subscribed, ie are VIP, you can create characters on the server and play on it.

If you are not subscribed you can't create characters or play characters that are on it. Though you can use a transfer token to transfer a character from it to any other server.

That is basically it.

But I think Roger would be a great name for a server. Don't tell me you don't know your pre-20th century swear words?

Frankly I'm completely confused over why you are all bent out of shape over the 1 lone single VIP server that is completely optional to use. I mean really its an optional thing that you can safely ignore with no consequence.

My understanding from what he said is that you should have enough Paragon Reward Merits to buy them again if you want.

Um, no.

The VIP sever Roger is there to allow VIPs one more server than everyone else, to run away and hide from the premium and free players, and to try and grab names that might be locked on others servers. Thats about it as far as I can tell.

Eh you can get them to reset things. If your account was old enough you didn't actually have all of the security questions and the system wouldn't work for you. Basically the reset things for me so I could login and rest my security questions and viola I'm set. My answers still bear no relation to the questions but are things I can remember the answer to.

Barking house?

Having actually seen green clouds myself, I'll have to say no I expect the photo is accurate.

My dear lady, one does not speak to another in an uncouth manner instead. One should strive for the very height of modern science and lucidity in their speech.

Thats what 2 computers or 2 monitors are for.

Limited power set access.
Veats extra,
various zones extra,
Trials extra,
almost all costumes extra
limited access to contacts all the way up to 50 with others extra
Possibly customizable colors and animations for powers extra
Oroborus extra
Pocket D extra
side switching and tip missions extra
praetoria extra
Incarnate abilities extra, possibly each set an extra cost.
purchasable temp powers to boost you
purchasable long term powers
bases extra

The list goes on. The game would have to be gutted and rebuilt from the ground to effectively make it F2P. This because every single subscription game that has converted had to rebuild the game from the ground up.

No no no Golden Girl there are millions of us who want to solo incarnate arcs. Millions I say.

Which explains why the thunderstorm that followed seeing those green clouds was particularly memorable for heavy rain. Makes sense.

That was good, I liked when Emperor Cole threatened to turn this invasion around and go home if they couldn't behave.

And I'll give you an example of a character that I built last night to play on Freedom for todays invasion. I wound up liking the character enough that I'm probably going to buy my first ever character transfer so I can move them off of Freedom. Anyway I'll go over how I built the character. Keep in mind I am creative and when inspired can do pretty good, when not inspired I get meh characters I don't play that much. Some of those I've rescued over the years by either respecting their powers or using costume tokens to change their look.

Anyway meet my brand new blaster. I decided I wanted to play a pistol blaster because I had fun in the beta they were introduced in with one leveled to 50 to test incarnate stuff with, but I have never gotten around to building one yet.

So Pistols. Oddly I like magic more often than any other source of power so I went ahead and picked magic. This means his pistols aren't actually real but instead are constructs of magic, explains the endless ammunition.

So I picked mental as his secondary because that fit the magic theme nicely. I then had to pick his looks. So I went with my general choice of body type, tried out different costumes and none of them were working. Until I decided to give a leopard man a try. After all he is the creation of magic so he doesn't have to be human.



Next I set his pistols to a look I approved of and then tinted his power dark blue and gold.

The last step was to give him his bio. I always try to do this for a character now because it gives me a feel for who I'm playing. And that is important to having fun. At least for me.

And his name, after several tries with already taken names for a black leopard I checked to see if Leo Pardus was taken. It wasn't and so he was born on Freedom. Pardus is a reference to Pantherus Pardus the latin name for a leopard, and of course then one needs to play on the first name Leo = Leopard, so his hero name really is leopard leopard.

Invasion - Book one of the Secret World Chronicles. By Mercedes Lackey with Steve Libbey, Cody Martin, and Dennis Lee.

It started as roleplaying by COX players and yes Mercedes Lackey playes COX. Reached a point they said, hey we have enough material for podcasts, and so as a group they filed the serial numbers off and moved it out of the COX universe. Eventually it reached a point that they had enough material for a book thus producing the title you see above. The podcasts can be found at http://secretworldchronicle.com/ .

If you read it you should be able to tell the character classes that the core heroes and villains have in the book and what the match back to COX character types would be. Just reading the book or listening to the podcasts might give you an idea how a character can fit into a world were a structure exists to handle super types since they keep that aspect of the COX world but change the controlling factors.
