Alanari

Either Mind's Eye or Raine Endarin, probably in the D, spending my last bit of time with friends.

To keep my beloved characters alive I just might. What would really turn the tide for me, though, is an apology and an agreement to get back what staff they could from this whole debacle.

Blueside I'd probably settle in AP, Talos, or Founders.
Redside would definitely be Cap.

When Amy's Ward was bugged a few issues back, a bunch of friends and I ran a Katie Hannon TF specifically so we could let them loose in Pocket D. We killed people.

I'm right there with you Spidey.

It'd suck but I'd do it. Everything I have now can be earned again.

Whatever this means, I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I want all of the available Master Of badges for Blueside, and possibly Redside too.

Well, personally, I just relied on the Premium to allow me to rp and keep in touch with my SG for those weeks or months that I couldn't afford my sub. I'm not the sort who has a ton of spare cash, but I paid when I could and bought a bunch of extra powersets and points. Not to mention costume sets, emoticons, and all that good stuff.

I've always loved your videos, and if you need any guinea pigs for this sadly needed endeavor, you're welcome to any of my toons. That said, I think the song you posted earlier is perfect. I, like everyone, am crushed by this news and I am hoping against hope that they will find a way to keep this place up and running.

I literally *just* found out about this and I have to say I'm devastated. I've made so many friends here and had so many good times, that I just don't know what I'll do without City to come back to. I'll definitely miss everybody that I know here, all my very good friends, and I'll be playing until the servers go down for the very last time. Thanks very much for the fun, Zwil, you've been a great Community Lead, and I hope you all at Paragon Studios find some place to go.

Nobody else having this same issue?

So my game has taken to crashing nearly every time I open the costume change screen, or when I try to open new windows in game. I can't edit my AE missions, I can't access the tailor, I can't really even change my costumes without the game ceasing to respond and usually crashing altogether. I don't know what the cause of this is. I've repeatedly verified my files and gotten nothing, so I'm hoping you guys can help me out. As it stands, the game is damn-near unplayable for me. :|

As someone who uses Vent rather frequently for teams and other things, I find it polite to repeat instructions via chat if not everybody in the team is on the server talking to us. I will, however, also say that having Vent running can be very distracting, especially if there are a lot of people talking at once, as is often the case with my SG's vent. And if several members of the team are talking over voice chat, team chat often winds up being rather quiet. I do not, however, close chat tabs or go afk from a team without announcing it in chat.

Glad to hear it! And just a little notice on the location. The party is going to be hosted in Pocket D2 so as to make it more accessible for everyone! We hope to see you guys there today!

I hope so too! Please let all of the TP know that they're welcome to come.

Honestly it just makes me want to pull out my fire/kin and farm them. That's enough money to IO an entire toon. I honestly don't care if people want to get PLed. If they're on my team and don't know what they're doing, they get kicked. If they're just tired of the grind, more power to them.

The Jadewire will be hosting a big party on December 20th from 9PM-12 A.M. EST to celebrate our third Christmas! There will be several CCs, including:
Best Male
Best Female
Best Couple
Best Overall
Best Christmas Look
There'll be over 500 million in prizes, and a live DJ graciously provided by The Cape. So come see us and DJ Havok at the bottom bar of the Ski Chalet in Pocket D. We'll be happy to have you there!

Grats Jinken! Awesome sketch Cashoo, and thanks. I just didn't want to like, not ask 'cuz that seems a little rude. XD

I've just a small question Cashoo. X3 I was wondering if you'd mind if I got a friend to color the bust you did for me? I didn't want to get it colored without the line artist's permission.

Also, just to reiterate how much I love the picture, I stuck it on Mind's Virtueverse. X3

Zomigosh! It's lovely Cashoo! Thank you so much!

Can we have Carnie boots? Pretty please? Also masks and bustiers! Pleasepleasepleaseplease. Sashes would be nice too. Other than that, definately the sybil costumes if at all possible, and Mirror Spirit's coat/hairstyle, or something similar. And can we please change the "tops with skin" options so that when you color them white, they don't look see through?

And this is kind of unrelated, but on the note of revamping zones, I'd really like to see all of the old Hazard Zones updated. Dark Astoria, Crey's Folley, Boomtown, Perez, etc. They have nothing in them aside from GMs and there is so much potential for lore or trials or new TFs or *something.* DA especially is one of the coolest zones in the game and there's just *nothing* there unless you want to hunt masks or Adamastor.

Even so, still kinda lame. X3 Ah well. Just gotta writhe in envy until i19 I guess.

Does anyone else feel gypped that only male avatars get the firefly auras? :| I'm kind of POed about that myself.
