PF, I would like to thank you for your conern. We at PERC do not normally encourage cross-posting, but with the uber prizes that we are giving away- we felt that everyone should deserve a fair shake at entering. Some people do not leave their home server (or rarely do) to post. The more exposure the better. Again, thank you for your concern.

Please use this thread to discuss and or ask questions on the latest PERC contest. I would like to keep the other thread clean for contest enteries.

Thanks!

Common Q/A:

Q: I have no clue how to make a video-- HELP!

A: All times are Midnight ET

Q: Uh, what do you mean by public judging?

A: No less then 4 PERC members will be judging the finals.

Q: What will the finalists be judged on?
A: We will be judging on 4 aspects. Originality, Professionalism, Creativity, and Commercialism. This is a COMMERCIAL contest, not a music video contest. Make sure that you sell, sell, sell!

A: We need a way to contact you.

Q: Boy, this is a lot of questions and answers to type out... are your hands tired?

hiya eric--

thanx for stopping by our thread. Please expect a PM for a response.

~Rose

how bout goin back to your own forum boards--- we don't want you here-- we are crowded enough-- cant ya tell?

seriously guys- give it a rest-- we have a right to be ticked- period. well -- they do-- i can't log in anyways...

/e rant on freedom

dude- guys, chill out-- you know as well as I do - that if we weren't locked out and we were on the game and it was unplayable due to lag or rubberbanding or the MSC that there would be a thread a mile long about how you cant get your double xp because of it. I know there would be cause every single time we have double xp a thread like that pops up. so ya gotta wait to log in... seriously-- it's not like y'all weren't warned that there would be lock outs if the server hit threshholds. i do think that the devs should make a queing system tho- so at least you don't have to keep refreshing the page to try to get in....

i feel your pain guys- but seriously-- its only a lil bit of wait time- chillax

/e end rant on freedom

/e start rant

ya know, im kinda mad at all the comments that you guys (regular freedomites) you are getting about not being able to log in.

These people are coming from other servers and saying basically it's your own fault for only playing on freedom, and that you should just re-roll on another server and be done with it. that just irks me.

As a long time player (granted not since beta- but I've been playing a long time), who are YOU to tell ME that I can't complain? you have alt-itis? yea YOU! why should I have to catch YOUR DISEASE to enjoy a game? Every1 I know plays on freedom-- maybe its about more then just being able to level the character I want-- maybe I want to play with my friends. maybe I want to use my fully functional base?

I have to laugh when some1 says that every server is the same. NOT every server has the same people playing on it-- maybe I don't want to make new friends-- maybe I don't want to have to listen to RP in atlas park or pocket D. I don't WANT to make new friends on different servers- I like the friends that I have now- (who make enough demands on my time). ever try belonging to 3 different SG's? try belonging to different SG's on different servers. maybe I don't want to have to build a new rep, I have an excellent rep on MY SERVER now! I don't want to have to go back and start on day 1. MAYBE, i am just a SHY person- and don't like to talk to people I don't know??? hmmmmm?

I DO have my villains on another server (pin*hic*cle) --- but somehow i end up making *1* villain here and have leveled her farther then I do with my 5 other villains on the other server-- why? because I am able to find teams with my friends a LOT easier then I can over on that other server. why should I have to sell myself to people on another server-- when I have already done so on freedom? hmmm?

/e end rant on other servers

Did the Devs not say something about increasing the load capacity of the servers to compensate for this?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. We upgraded our server hardware as part of our re-investment plan for City of Heroes/Villains, but the fact of the matter is that we've actually hit a new capacity threshhold.

To be clear....There are more players on Freedom now than have ever played on that server. Ever.

[/ QUOTE ]

And this is EXACTLY what happens with unconrolled or unmoderated server transfers.

[/ QUOTE ]

yep, they loose their 'T's.... damn alphabet stealin server transfers....

bill, i think i love you

Hey guys, first time poster-- long time stalker of the art forum. I think the majority of you are REALLY talented, and wish that y'all would just rub up against me -- just a bit, so maybe I can leech some of that... but thats not why I am here.

I was wondering if there is anyone out there that is specifically talented in using demorecord or making short films, that would mind writing a guide of sorts. I know a LOT of people would love to be able to do this, but have no CLUE how it works... If I have any volunteers (or multiple volunteers) maybe y'all can work together and come up with something.

I wouldn't ask, but it would REALLY be cool if some1 could do this. specially within the next month or so, more info will be available at a later date... PM me/post here if you are gonna be doing this, for more information (but don't ask me why-- I can't tell ya!)

Thanks!
