    Thanks for pointing that out, we'll be sure to update it.

    Just Black Friday.

    Ghost Falcon has stated that if enough people like these prices that they may be the new permanent price for some of these consumables.

    They should really change the icon though, none of those pieces are/should be included in that pack.
    Looks like there was an Icon mix up. We'll get that corrected shortly.

    Still, thank you.
    As long as it takes me to find the time to do it .

    I'll forward you my Outlook calender.

    No, not really
  12. I'll work on posting the slides from those presentations in the next few weeks (no promises that it will be before Thanksgiving as I've got a full slate next week...and my Thursday is going to be spent cooking all morning and then sleeping all evening between quarters of the 49'ers/Ravens game).

    As to why some were broadcasted and some weren't...

    The addition of Ustream was a last minute thing. We weren't sure that we'd be able to accomodate it using the internet on site (we almost couldn't...we weren't able to get a physical line connection until 9:45 AM), nor that I would be able to make sure it would go off smoothly with managing the event itself and the Ustream cast. Luckily Think-Tank stepped up and helped us out by running the cast all day. Even with Think-Tank helping out, we could still only broadcast from one panel room, which had been set and programs printed weeks in advance.

    I hope you guys enjoyed the panels, and apologies for the audio constraints. Ustream/Live Streaming large events can be problematic unless you have tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment (which we don't). Fingers crossed in the future we'll be able to buy the USB soundboards and all that jazz to accomodate bigger things that just streaming from my desk or a conference room.

    You wouldn't think not being able to queue for the lowbie trials would be the deciding factor and sway me to re-up but it did. Now knowing as a longtime player/former VIP what QoL options I'd be getting back in the process, this was a no brainer. But for Premium alumni coming back to the game who don't know what they're missing unless they upgrade? I think you risk losing them completely.
    is not WAI, so I'll be sure to forward this along to be investigated.

    Thanks!

    My apologies you're experiencing this.

    If you haven't already, please file a petition regarding this so that CS can investigate and address the issue. At a glance, I'm not seeing widespread reports of the issue, so my suspicion is that this might be something specific to your account.

    And that's you. I promise you that many, many people found storage increases compelling, many, many folks found costume slots compelling...etc...

    It's a matter of preference. We know we're not going to hit 100% of the people 100% of the time. What we are doing is keeping track of what sells at what price and in what numbers. This, combined with direct feedback, is helping us develop a sound business strategy moving forward and to more readily anticipate what you guys would like to see offered.

I bet you would compel a lot of people into buying a lot of stuff with the good ol' "for sale" bait. Something that wasn't on sale last week may appeal to someone this week with a lower price tag.

    Just a thought.
    We won't have an item discounted each and every week. We're certainly aiming to have discounted items on a regular basis, however it's not going to be every week.

    1 a week isn't sustainable in the long run. Account Services being on sale is something special, reserved for special occasions, and we'll almost always try to tie it to something that's topical or thematic.

    Putting items like character slots and storage increases on sale is a pretty big deal.
  21. A few points
    • The final, final version of Titan Weapons is not yet on live. We've made changes which have not yet been pushed to a live build. Don't fret though, I have a sneaking suspicion you'll be seeing larger than average weapons soon™.
    • Allow me to be perfectly blunt: We will not release a new costume part each and every week. We will not release a new power set every other week. We will not release something that you, yes you, specifically you, find compelling each and every week. What we will do is strive to put a variety of offerings on the Market which appeal to many different individuals. The wonderful thing is, if it doesn't strike you as compelling, then you don't have to spend your points on it.
    Please remember that just because something doesn't resonate with you, doesn't mean it won't with your fellow players. Let's try to avoid the belittling comments.

    Mind Blown?
  23. The dog disappears when you get outside of 200 feet away from it and will subsequently reappear when you get back to within 200 feet (if you're verticle). It has no collision, does not have fleas, has had all of it's shots and is housebroken.

    No promises on if it does the butt scoot or not.
  24. Our initial investigation shows that this is not a widespread issue, in fact it's only affected a few total accounts (less than ten).

    The good thing is, Customer Service is able to assist anyone who is affected (many of you have already contacted us). If you were one of the few affected, please file a petition ASAP and CS can start working on restoring your items. When you file your petition, if possible please include a list of what items were lost. That will be very helpful to the process.

    Thanks!

    Not sure.

    Maybe it's a new Super Powered Pilates?

    (I'll be sure to pass this along, in case it's not already reported by QA).
