"Oh, hey... a mute button. That will come in handy."

The Rogue part is in reference to the expansion called Going Rogue that allows you to start in Praetoria, the "alternate universe". So if you click that option you'll start there instead of in the main game.

The main storyline in Praetoria runs through level 20-ish. At that time you are asked to select between going to the Rouge Isles (red/villain side) or Paragon City (blue/hero side). You don't have to go but once you decide between blue or red and leave Praetoria you can never take a mission in the main city again. You can get the expanded stuff in First Ward and Night Ward, but once you touch the portal go on to the main part of the game, they will never give you even a random mission in the main city again.

And no, there's no DFB... the entire city is one big DFB (including actually fighting in their clean and spacious sewer system). You gain levels fast, really fast, due to all of the enemies you fight. Not quite as fast as DFB, but you'll have something more to do than just charge through a straight line beating up anything in your way.

However, there is the catch you pointed out. Sadly, hardly anyone plays there. I've played entire nights with no one in sight unless I have my regular playing partner online at the same time. Granted I'm on one of the smaller servers, but I'm guessing that even on the large servers there's not too many people who play there.

If you'd like to get a taste of what it's like, hop over on one of your current characters and wait for the protest zone event in Nova (it happens by the statue of Mother Mayhem once an hour or so). Kill several protesters or a single seers to pick which side to support (pro-government or anti-government respectively).

It's clean, it's beautiful and has unique, hard enemies. You get great experience and can walk away with some nice common salvage (I had a character stroll in to blue side with 15 luck charms on her). And if you are in a super group, you get 100,000 prestige (no, that's not a typo) each and every time a Praetorian joins. But you'll most likely be playing solo.

NaNA and Taci have a brilliant idea for what to do during the main Mako Week event on Tuesday.

But we want it to surprise the Red Names, so we can't say it here.

So contact @b.viking or @tacitala to hear it. Please help us pull this off. Pretty please with sprinkles?

I'm not sure if I should post all 12 in one post. If you would like me to break it up in to 4 separate posts, let me know. And mine is a lot less fancy than the others. Anyway, global is @Tacitala.

OK, first up... Swan, Aurora. I don't care who stole who's look, but this ends now. You even have the same hair. I flipped a coin and Swan one, so I'll give her look first.

Swan:
As her name actually has something white in it, I kept her with a (mostly) white/gray look. However, in a play off of her name, I brought in some black (as in a swans eyes have touches of black around their eyes). I also left her shoulders bare (no shoulder pieces), as she technically would have her awesome swan cloak around her shoulders. Oh, and in honor of the screw job Sister Psyche got put through, I put pants on her.






Aurora:
Since the Northern Lights have purple in them, that's the color I went for. Plus, it looks good on her skin tone. I know Mother had some of the purple thing going, but Mother is a brazen hussy. Thus, Aurora has a classy purple.






Mynx:
Mynx, honey, I know that you're technically in a blue and white striped body suit but it looks all the world as if you're fighting crime naked. I kept her color scheme, but I put something that brought a collar (no, not that kind) up to her neck so she didn't look so... nude while at the same time keeping her cheerful blue and white look.






And finally, Ms. Liberty:
I thought at first "Yay! I can tone down her look!". Then I realized that she's lost the two most important people in her life as of recent. So go for it, dear. If there was a top, you must have missed it when you went over it.

I ran across a theory once that the longer you live, the less amount of time each day is to your overall life. A week in the life of a 7 year old passes sooo slowly because each day is more a percentage of their age (7 days out of a little over 2550 days) than say a 35 year old's (7 days out of over 12700).

Which means that a day passes really quickly for beings as old as Rikti.

Which means the Rikti, like me, had to stop and look at the calendar to remember "Hey, today's Friday. Where did this week go?"

Actually I would say use the Imperial Dynasty stuff for her hero costume, and maybe some of the samurai stuff for her royal. Hrm, the Wiki doesn't give really good pictures. Give me a bit so I can fire up the costume creator and take some screenshots of the costumes in use.

Edit: I'll re-post if the thread gets deleted. And wow are there a lot of things in the Imperial Dynasty pack. Here's the two faces (Imperial Dynasty vs. Face 17). Personally I like the free one (17) than the bought:



Here's a pair of looks that mixes in bought items (the first would be her courtly look). I used the bridal skirt and pattern, since there wasn't an Imperial Dynasty skirt that I found:




And this is a pair of outfits that I know everything is free, to the best of my knowledge:



There's a hair style Fancy Braid that looks really nice too but I'm not sure if it came in a pack, thus I left it out. There's no kimono style tops. I'm willing to bet that clipping on one would be a massive problem.

I thought this would be about bringing Sis Psyche back (because it's so very plausable) and having her get pregnant (which could be an explaination as to why she wasn't as active anymore and Penny was still filling her spot).

Besides, do you know utterly awesome having a sleep over at the Sinclair kids would be for a pack of 9 and 10 year old kids?

That would be the character Tacitala (level 50 inv/ss tanker), with the global name of @Tacitala.

Yes, I use the name everywhere, to the point I "border" on breaking the 'don't use your real name or any name that could be linked back to you'.

Gods dammit so much. I want to join, but I can't commit that my signal won't randomly crap out in the middle of the run

If you're willing to give that a risk, I can bring my main (inv/ss tank, although I'm not as min-maxed as I could be). If you'd rather not risk the flake-out, I'll perfectly understand.

I am also jealous of that trip to Holiday World. It's a great park, provided that you can get over how intentionally cheesy it is. The main park should still be open then, but the water park area will most likely be closed (if you're with a group that doesn't enjoy riding the wooden coasters until they have mild whiplash).

Yes! My demon MM is one step closer to having an alternate costume that looks like she's in an epic heavy metal video. Now all she needs is "/em headbang" (usable by the demons, of course).

Where's Desdemona? She'll be on board with this.

Are you sure this is making an actual request and not just making a snarky comment about having one of the 'bug acknowledgment' pop up right in the middle of combat or another inopportune time?

How the [PANCAKE] do I pronounce Oranbega? I can remember how to spell it because it starts like oran berry, but how do I pronounce the place's name?
