    You find out a lot of this in the First Ward arcs.

    But if you thought the Shining Stars was a bad Super Group, wait til you get a load of the Praetorian Midnighter Club...
  2. If you're going to use that font, please bump up its size a notch. Thanks!
  3. Too late for this, but, **** SPOILERS ABOUT THE COMING STORM ****

    The Battalion only existed as an undeveloped faction in the game files for a really long time until they got mentioned by Serpent Drummer in a Clue (which disappears once the arc is complete) when he mentions that the Rikti fought off their dimension's version of the Battalion a hundred years ago (if indeed it was a different dimensional version and the Battalion are not transdimensional).

    Prometheus now spills the beans that the Battalion are The Coming Storm and the Shivans are their scouts. And the Well has nearly fused with Praetorian Cole hoping he'd be the Champion to drive off The Coming Storm, but Cole is slipping due to a two front war: Praetorian Hamidon and Primal Earth Supers. So, show the Well you'd be a better Champion by putting down Cole, saving your dimension, soaking up Incarnate power, and then drive off the Battalion.

    What allowed the Auction Houses to combine was combining both economies of blue- and redside into "INF". Where everything is completely tradable and fungible to both sides. So, there was the collapse of the redside economy, but it got absorbed and evened out by the huge amounts of INF that flowed from blueside to redside alts.

    And the reason they combined economies was because of Going Rogue. The coding that was needed to keep three separate economies separate required to much coding investment.

    Issue 21: The Coming Storm has started. And to those who do the latest Incarnate Trial, its nature is revealed.

    9) Familiar faces, at a quick glance I saw Arcanaville and EvilGeko still posting. I also remember that Zombie guy that I think really hated me because I would start a new topic on everything
    Oh, don't be silly. There were so many other reasons why I hated you!





    Welcome back.

    PS. Still in modeling?
  5. I have two FF installations: I now use a portable version of FF3 so that I can continue to use the FFvB plug-in that filters out selected threads. Then I use the other FF to the most recent update for my other surfing needs.

    I'm moving the first week of September and will be without internet connection.
    Rent a cellular wifi hotspot device.
  7. The mile-wide golf course surrounding the city will be a buffer to the storms.

    And the quarter-mile-wide shanty town of servants' quarters will be a buffer for the golf courses.

    I don't think anyone doesn't know how a man-made floating isle works.

    But until city-wide forcefields like Atlantis had are invented, it will certainly have to contend with severe weather, like a hurricane or typhoon. Or pirates.

    Oh, the Rogue Isles.

    I don't think there are any islands purchasable that would:

    1. Put you far enough away from the seller or other islands such that you can be considered truly in 'international waters'; and,

    2. Won't be under water in two decades.
  10. Aren't we all getting a second and third and fourth and fifth account for free anyway, if we want 'em?

Every month after that will be awarding reward tokens you can redeem for tier 9 rewards and you'll be officially a tier 9/reward level 9 subscriber.

    Its a tiny bit unclear if you get all of the tier 9 rewards when you complete tier 8 or when you select your first tier 9 reward. But either way, that happens at basically the seven year mark.
    1. You also get one Free Token for Reward Level 1 (Rookie).

    2. There are no Tier (Reward Level) 9 auto rewards. When you obtain your 34th Token, you get the Radiant badge and the Tier (Reward Level) 8 auto-rewards which gives you +150PP/month and access to purchase the Rewards in Tier 9 with any further Tokens.

    Basically, when you acquire the Token that allows you to complete a tier, you then get the auto-rewards of that tier even if you haven't spent that Token yet.

    EDIT: More indirect evidence of an early September release:
    I believe that in the release pool I alone have September.

    Of the rest: 80% has October; 19% Has October or November; and 1% has November or December.

  14. Built by the rich with their billions.

    Billions of what? Paper currency backed by the socialish democracies they abhor?


    Free from international treaties and laws.

    Good. Sending the Somalian pirates your coordinates. Good luck!
  15. Where else can you make a mad pirate cheerleader zombie robot clown ninja vampire werewolf goth punk scientist catgirl? It's awesome!!!

  16. Petless Necro/Trick Arrow... before the TA buffs.

    No Vet Power attacks.

    No IOs... only TOs, DOs, and SOs.

    Solo... no teaming.

    I got to level 27. Then became distracted by other stuff.

    So, if anyone says the game is too hard...

    Guide to Guides

    And does such a guide already exist? I haven't stumbled across one yet, but I could have missed one.
    List of Base guides can be find in this post.

    To make your own base guide, you'd create a new thread in this forum (not this thread). Then post a link to that thread in this thread.
  20. They can always copy your spreadsheet into a new one for which they have permission an do with it whatever they like.
  21. It means that when FREEDOM launches, they don't want to have to deal with anyone starting or in the process of being on Free Trial.

    So, this means FREEDOM will not launch in August. But I'm sure everyone pretty much knew that already.
  22. The announcement on Beta said "for maintenance."

    But then again, if they had to take it down because Oberon, King of Avalon demanded it, they'd still say "for maintenance."

    Finally, Serpent Drummers arc shows that the Lady Grey and Mender Silos may have had a long animosity in the old days.

    The only thing that concerns me about Lady Grey is that Dean MacArthur's bit about the person being male. But I could see Dark Watcher or another agent handling that bit.
    I'm so on this page.

    No, it doesn't. You're seeing images of the shaft that would ordinarily be visible because it is not behind to object refracted to be in front of the object. Nothing... *nothing* behind the object is visible.

    You know, stage magicians do stuff like this all the time and say "it's magic." Of course, you don't believe it's magic. You know there is sleight of hand or misdirection or mirrors or false walls.

    Just because this charlatan/nut says "it's science", don't believe it without much better proof.

    You're witnessing an illusion.
