    FIRST...where did I say that saying "rep doesn't matter" is harassing or foul-mouthed? Oh, that's right, cos I didn't. :P

    There ARE people who have been HARASSED and cursed at in rep. YES, you can go to the mods saying "somebody said this and that", but having the names attached makes those people SO MUCH less likely to harass other people. And it makes it MUCH easier to report to the mods.

    what possible use could you have for their name aside from some measure of petty vengeance?
    Because the hundreds of harassing, foul-mouthed negreps would get reported and the mods would slap the people who wrote them?

    About 90% of my posts are in Player Questions and Tech Issues, where I assist people with problems and answer questions... yep, I post just because I can, not because it's helpful. Nope, I don't like being helpful at all. I've never helped those hundreds - probably thousands - of people. Nuh-uh.
  4. lol, I was negged with "l" (that's a lowercase L) for the same post I linked above. Awesome!

    Keep in mind that if you're not invited to closed beta, the test server is completely locked out now. You can't even look at character creation.
  6. Canceling the account is the same thing as unsubscribing. Cancel the account. Apply your credit card - select whatever monthly subscription you feel like choosing, since you're not going to utilize it - you won't actually get charged for any time since your account is not lapsed.

    Buy your slots.

    Remove the card.

    That doesn't matter. The people who chose to go to the tutorial, and then teleported out, were completely unable to utilize contacts until they successfully completed a safeguard and chose a new contact.

    This doesn't allow that to happen. You're required to be level 3 to use the various zone ports, which just so happens to be above the level possible in the tutorial.
  8. To get assistance from support through e-mail, send a detailed description of your problem to:
    support@plaync.com


    To get voice assistance from support, you can call them. It is a toll number to Austin, Texas, so be aware of any long distance charges you may incur. This number is available Monday through Friday, 12 PM to 5 PM, Central Time Zone. (Remember to take note of Daylight Saving Time alterations.)
    1-512-225-6359

    Please note that this phone number is for technical and billing assistance only.
  9. Adding a credit card will not charge you a new monthly fee until your current paid time is up.

    So add the card, make the purchase, then remove the card.

    Although with the weird Paypal thing being unable to cancel your account, I'm not sure how you'll be able to do that. I was under the impression you could add a credit card even if you paid by paypal.

    Uhh, there is. For the whole forum, click on "QUICK LINKS" (very top navigation) and select "Mark Forums Read." For a single forum, click on "Forum Tools" (top of the thread listing inside a forum) and select "Mark This Forum Read".
  11. Take a peek at the "You last visited:" line at the top right, by your logged in username. That's getting stuck once in a while. Eventually, it'll hiccup and find the right time and your "go to new post" links will work again. And then it'll break. And then it'll work. And then it'll break.
  12. Or bookmark/favorite it.
  13. Hours do not reset. There's no other way to check.

    I did. I got it reset.

    I used to share this account with my ex boyfriend. (Ooh, bad account sharing! Boo hiss! :P ) When we split up, I got access to it, but the forum account was his password, and I had been using Firefox's password storage to keep it because I was too lazy to change it. Well, my computer went belly-up and I had to build a new one. I no longer had Firefox's password storage to assist me, so I was locked out of the forum account.

    I had a second account that was lapsed, so I came in here and PM'd Ex Libris (a former community mod type person, for the newbies) if she could reset my password. She said she couldn't, but she set my forum email address to the address on hand for the account. Which was perfectly acceptable, since I had updated the email address from his to mine.

    Sometimes you just need to be a little creative. The forums mods have much more control over the forums than the game mods, which is to be expected.

    "Dump" is a common phrase, especially in regards to information or data.
  16. It's not an emote, it's an animation. (Emotes are called by typing a slash command into the chat interface. Animations are part of a power or effect.) It's broken. It's a known issue.

    Your post is neither a suggestion, nor an idea. /silly

    Respec idea?

    There's no way to do that currently.

    The Suggestions & Ideas forum is down a little bit from here if you want to lodge a formal suggestion.

    So Aggelakis can just update his fix to use the correct view post image.
    Eww, another ridiculously tiny arrow...what is wrong with these people?

    No, Aggelakis won't be updating her fix to use the correct view post image. That thing is way too tiny. And also, it doesn't work anyway because of the image I linked above - it looks awful.

    This doesn't make any sense to me. I went back and edited this post of mine from 2006, so I'm not sure why you can't edit your first posts.

    Unless, of course, you aren't the author of the first post, in which case I understand.

    Yeah, I got a negative rep comment "thanks for feeding the trolls"...and it was in response to this post. I don't really understand it, but hey! Whatever floats yer boat.

    Done.
  23. Paragon Wiki just got a new category:

    EDIT: And now also includes a new page: Repeatable Missions

    What does it matter? There are plenty of people that I don't recall seeing post, and they have post count. Take a peek at the member list sometime. 95% of those names I don't recognize, and about 3/4 of them have at least one post.
  25. Haven't been kicked from a mission or base while afk.

    Are you sure you didn't just get mapserved? The servers have had a few hiccups in the last few days.
