    It wouldn't really be all that elaborate. I mean it just involves posting to a internet MB a few times.


    Not that I am saying that's what is going on by intention. Of course, I am not saying that it's NOT going on by intention either.
    But it IS what is going on by effect.


    I am not sure how the current situation could effectively be distinguished from a situation where the delays were an intentional ploy. Nor the converse--how a ploy like the one hypothesized could be distinguished from the current situation.

    It does seem that customers are being inconvenienced to keep the company from being inconvenienced. This isn't something that we're not used to seeing in a world with a competitive service industries.

    The main difference between MMO world and other service industries is that they're holding our toons hostage. We can't just load up our toons and take them to the next MMO down the road. imho, Consequently, the service standards of MMOs lag behind the service standards of other service industries where customers can more freely associate and disassociate themselves from the service provider. ymmv

    They ARE holding all of our toons as hostage.
    So it's that's the big difference between this service industry and the many other service industries. We can't just haul our toons to some one else's place of business and carry on.

    The relationship between MMOs and their customers would be a lot different and more pleasant for the customers if we could just pack up our toons and take them to another company's business.

    I quoted from the amended post.
    What he changed was that he took the regular maintenance part out of it.

    Basically the rule has been modified to allow players to mention other games, so long as they do not discuss them. So you can make a reference to game X, or say you're playing game Y, as long as you don't go into lengthy discussion and/or create a thread specifically about it.
    ^ Do the forum mods know this? ^
  8. Someone posted a link to a poll. The poll had a question where the wording hadn't been changed from some other game to CoX. I posted the erroneous text for the poll's author.
    My post was removed.

    So I would guess that there has been no loosening of the restriction.
  9. I'd like to be able to buy the animations for ninja run w/o the power itself needing to be toggled on.

    Depends on your endurance needs I suppose.

    I heard that tokens have a one month delay on them--October's tokens will be awarded on Nov's bill date.

    That's what I heard anyway.
  13. I think that tokens come in on the billing date of the next month.
    So we get our October tokens in Nov.

    yeah, no.

    You can do the maths subsitute lower IOs when available to reflect the lessening of their enhancements powers from exemplaring down.

    You can replace 3 vanilla lvl 50 IO w/ 3 lvl 25 IO and get near where you'd be for exemping a lvl 50 to lvl 25.

    But other than that, there is not at this time.

    I make exemplar toons. I use a lot of lvl 25 and 27 IOs.

    LOL

    I decided a while back to do all of the ouro arcs on a single toon. So I did. I read all of the text and dialog along the way. I sent in a bug report for each typo I found. I sent in quite a few.
    I have not kept track or checked to see if any of them were fixed.

    I got an invite to the next beta after that.

    notebook paper and pencil to record the discrepancies between the actual stock and the stock the system thinks it has. Then, when the system is fixed, you can enter the discrepancies into the system to make the accounts match.

    If needed there're even computer programs that act like a ledger for you.

  19. I think Oct 11, 2011 has about 13 more hours in it.

    Let's be patient until 00:00 HAST
  20. Maybe by 11:59pm tonight Hawaiian time?

    I'll check back then

    It can be noted in a ledger book and then adjusted later. I understand that they even have computerized versions of ledger books now.

    ROFL emote

    Yeah, petitions are agin the rules.


    I am in favor of all emotes and costumes pieces.


    I am not making any comments about what priority each one should be given in the production queue. And I rarely use the costume pieces and emotes that I have already.
    But they pretty much only add to the game and offer very little chance of having any cost to the game outside of the development.

    So, I am for all of them to varying degrees.

    Since we can save costumes and load them as a whole and since tailor tokens grow on trees, even if I did have more than 5 costume ideas I only need the one slot that I wear at a time to have many costumes.

    Of course, I don't. But I could. I think I have one toon with all five slots opened. All five costumes look pretty much the same but the hair is different.
