    No, game cards are paid for and thus count toward paid time. O.o?

    Does not mean that the present information, which has been exactly the same since it was first input into CoD, is wrong.

    Now I KNOW I didn't get to play for a whole year for free...
    Each release comes with a free month:
    CoH
    CoH Collector's
    CoV
    CoV Collector's
    GvE
    Mac
    AE

    That's only five months of missing free time...if you got all of the above on your account. If you bought any of the "buy six get one free" or "buy twelve get two free" deals, there's some more free months.

    There's also the possibility of free time through "invite a friend back" if you ever lapsed for 90 days or more, 15 days per invite back.

    There's also the possibility of a free month if you "invite a friend" and they buy the game after trialing.

    It's actually pretty easy to rack up a bunch of free time.
  4. I wouldn't wait. I would petition now so that you avoid petitioning in impatience or anger if you wait until it's late. However, be prepared to wait since, as said above, they have a skeleton crew for the holidays.

    It's not permanent. Six per week until the end of January.

    Considering the OP is asking about level 50s in the OP, I think we're safe to assume s/he's talking about 50s. If you want to talk about something other than 50, you can start your own thread, of course!

    I wouldn't put too much stock in what CoD says the inspirations SHOULD be doing.
    The inspirations haven't been changed since they were put into the game, so CoD is up to date on what they do.
  8. How do you run and row at the same time, is all I wanna know!
  9. I use dialup to access if I am at my parents' houses.
  10. I think there are candy cane swords and shields in Guild Wars' holiday event, maybe people were mixed up.
  11. You're leaving off the most important part: your difficulty settings.
  12. The one that you're on (aka "all of them"), provided you are in a decent SG and are utilizing the server's global chat channels.

    Freedom is the most populated. Virtue after that. But really, all you need is the above. It works on any server.
  13. The gift gives an animation for your teammates and pets, which is where SunGryphon may be mistaking that it's giving the buff to teammates and pets. For each animation, you get a buff, stacking if you are within range of teammates and pets.

    Not as much anymore with such drastic combat suppression. Before, jousting could be done quickly and easily (via both running and jumping), and jumping around so that ground-only attacks can't hit was (still is) important. Also, attacks that debuff run speed typically don't debuff jump speed...and some attacks that debuff jump speed do not debuff run speed...so having both was good if you were facing varying debuffs.
  15. Those are groups of animals, though, not people. Groups of people are all called the same things, regardless of their makeup.
  16. The game can't run without registry information, which your second user account does not have, thus it's trying to install the whole game.

    Copy the updater to a new location. CohUpdater.exe - for instance, the desktop. Run the updater from the new location. Tell it to install into the current location. Let it do its thing. Delete CohUpdater.exe and the files it creates in this process when you're done.

    Depends on where you're buying from. A lot of places will give you an alternate download link to the other version. For instance, everything on the NCsoft store links to the other version in its details page. ("European version also available" etc.)

    DSL vs cable?

    City has so little bandwidth usage during gaming, the difference between the DSL and cable is pretty much nil. I mean, it's possible to play this game on dialup, fer chrissakes. (I played on dialup for almost a full year.)
  19. The patron respec is not a free respec. It is an earned respec, therefore it stacks with all earned respecs. Freespecs are only given by the devs (though the Respec Recipes check against the existance of a freespec in order to craft).

  21. /bind sysrq "screenshotui 0$$screenshot"
    /bind shift+sysrq "screenshotui 1$$screenshot"

    This makes it so that every time you hit PRINTSCREEN (CoH calls it "sysrq"), you get a clean shot. Every time you hit SHIFT+PRINTSCREEN, you get a shot with the UI bits in it.

    That way you don't have to remember the slash command or anything silly like that. Sometimes you want a UI screenshot in a flash, but remembering and typing the commands is slow. My way, you hit a couple buttons, et voila!

    Winter's Gift

    my point is that we should be allowed to slot the set into ANY power that allows movement since you can't have more than 1 of any of the IOs from the set on the same character
    We can't because Winter's Gift is a Universal Travel Set category.

    Powers only restrict by set category, not by individual set names. Because those powers do not allow Universal Travel Sets, Winter's Gift is excluded, completely separate from being able to slot Winter's Gift only once. That's completely beside the point being made.

    Server down time

    All of the servers are up and log-in-able for me. Have been all day.
  24. Weren't you the one that was saying words don't have meaning, they're just words? So why are you attributing any emotion to my words, thus giving them some meaning other than what's written?

    If you'd feel ever so much better, I could remove the profanities.
