    Fixed that for you.
  2. There are different kinds of sharing:

    Sharing of best practices, sharing of ideas, sharing of creative processes and sharing of lessons learned through experience are definitely things we share between studios.

    Each NCsoft product has it's own distinct and unique characteristics which doesn't usually lend itself to directly sharing assets, not that we'd want to. You play City of Heroes because we are who we are, much in the same reason you would play Guild Wars, L2 or Aion or, in the future, Wildstar and Guild Wars 2: For their own unique experiences.
  3. New item every week means variety. Some weeks you'll like what we're putting up and some weeks you won't. We accept this, and will watch the sales of said items and react accordingly.

    There's no magic formula that's guaranteed to make us produce a universally loved item each and every week, hell some people even poo pooed Street Justice.

    To each their own.

    It's a learning process and we're going to toss some weekly specials on the market that are going resonate really strongly with the Community, and some that will not.

    Great thing is, next Tuesday is only a week away.
  4. Unfortunately the original post neglected a few other items that are included in this pack. This has since been corrected.

    The *complete* Undead Survival Pack includes:

    Precise Dual Inspiration (Large) x5 - (normally 300 pts)
    Revival Temporary Power (5 charges) - (normally 200 pts)
    Warwolf Whistle (5 charges) - (normally 80 pts)
    Holy Shotgun Shells (75 charges) - (normally 80 pts)
    St. Louis Slammer (30 charges) - (normally 20 pts)

    Total Value: 680 pts
    Discount 280 pts en toto.

    All of these items are available for purchase on the Paragon Market ala carte.
  5. Because Reward Tokens being awarded are on an individual basis (there's not a single date everyone receives them on and they can vary based on circumstances which affected the old Veteran Reward system) it's been difficult to post a one off, this covers everything explanation.

    Because further posts may confuse more than explain, we're advising those who feel that their Paragon Reward Token status, Paragon Point status or Server Transfer token status is inaccurate to please file a Customer Support appeal either in game (include the words "Paragon Reward Token" in the subject line) or through email by visiting https://support.cityofheroes.com. The Customer Service team has access to your individual records and will be able to review them for accuracy and concisely explain when you should receive all of your VIP benefits on a monthly basis.

    Thank you!

    Obviously this means I need a new hat.
  12. Updated standings going into week 8:

    PARAGON CITY

    SF RabidChihuahuas 5-2
    Pacific Outsiders 4-3
    Team Robo Dominato 3-4
    Foster City Stealth 1-6


    ROGUE ISLES

    That's right...I actually won a game. My perfect season is ruined.
  13. Just as an FYI to our Community,

    Paragon Studios was not affected by the reorganization and both Paragon Studios and NCsoft remain committed to the development of City of Heroes Freedom.

    Thanks!

  14. Here's the rub,

    Conventions are special. Fan Gatherings are special. They're special to you guys, and they're special to us. We also want to offer incentive to attend these events.

    You know, aside from getting to spend time with me.

    (No, not seriously).

    While we do wish to maintain a certain amount of exclusivity to these items, we also believe that everyone should, eventually, have an opportunity to share in the fun. We're going to remain very watchful as to how soon is too soon to offer these costume powers outside of events, but I would expect to see any future Convention/M&G/Player Summit codes offered in the market...eventually.

    I do agree. Time saving items such as this have made my costume creation and playtime a bit more enjoyable .

    Glad to see you're enjoying it as well.

    As long as we're talking about it, are there any other time vs. convenience options like the cape and aura unlock service you could see being a desirable Market offering?

    I've always enjoyed, as you say, Saint Crispin!
    Glad to hear that he is widely recognized for his greatness!

Isn't that against the rules and considered Crossposting? what about people who play on multiple servers and use a single events forum to keep up with events going on?
    You're absolutely welcome to post that here in the City Life forums and request a sticky. We're more than happy to accommodate player events, especially IRL, that aren't confined to a single server.

    Let's please remember a fellow member of our Community with warmth and respect.

    Out of respect for his family, loved ones and friends lets please refrain from focusing on what has taken him from this world. They have enough constant reminders of this.
  20. We are well aware that players have requested functionality such as this, and that will be/has been communicated.

    This is still, AFAIK, not working as intended. If someone decides to leave it alone and deems it to be working as intended (surprise feature!) then we will, of course, clarify this.

    For now, it is our responsibility to report it.

    That account is a true free account with zero purchases.
    Thank you for QA. I am not disappoint.
  24. Is it working for completely Free players (i.e.; have made zero purchases on the Market)? If they've made even one purchase of points, they would have access to private tells.
