It's happened a few times and I distinctively remember the words:

Deleting the post only increases the suspicion.

It's entirely deducible from your intention with Fire/SD. I've always strongly advocated people with numerous advice especially with Fire/SD. What is your purpose with it, whilst I see you simply wish to progress with it within normal game-play, I'd side with Frosticus:

However, I will inform you this Fire/SD is a pale shadow of what it could be at 50 with very heavy investments. While some will argue anything can be improved with investment I confidently say that the margin between a Fire/SD and for example SO fitted is massive. In spite of almost sounding contradictorily you can still enjoy Fire/SD with SO's, but I'd insist it isn't against high +level foes nor do you attempt taking alphas.

Enjoy it, it's one crazy set.

Because in my opinion the fact it is assumed unobtainable doesn't really necessitate leaving on a computer every night, to get one measly IO. In fact I find it awfully saddening if someone does take that approach. I may have exaggerated that in comparison to RMT buying, but it's up there.

Silas, I must point out I have no vindictiveness towards anyone who does carry it out, I simply believe the principle in doing said action is rather peculiar, in defence of offending anyone who does. I just don't see the real-side point of it in comparison to "achieving" something in a virtual world, hence my point.

Fair enough if you disagree, after all it's not absurd both sides, but do you honestly see my point and not understand what I am getting at? That the whole idea of this is to obtain 1 particular item, that isn't even regarded "godly".

Since the thread has been solved, and congratulations by the way, I just want to interject and make a final comment: Whilst I made the argument leaving them on is dear and I mean that loosely, it was more the principle of leaving them on that actually bothered me.

You know, leaving it on 24/7 for an item in a virtual game, it's worse than RMT purchasing..

AFK PvP farming is quite common, and I didn't doubt it would and hence it leads you into the cycle of make ludicrous money = expend ludicrously = make ludi... etc.

I find it incredibly saddening the lengths people go to achieve things in these games. I mean seriously, if I was a parent of the kid who left his computer on all night to get a measly PvP IO, I would murder them as soon as I read my electric bill.

You should be a constituent runner for the Tories', your brash blaséness is becoming quite irritating in these conversations. I've lost all credit in reading your comments quite rapidly, your reaching an almost neanderthal simpleness of the current predicament.

Also, you clearly have no understanding of politics and I amusingly suspect you represent the cause of Brighton Pavillion caving to the Green Party.

Back on topic, I have had several thoughts about moving to NA because I really do miss this game when it is bustling with heroes and villains alike. The last time I didn't make an effort to create or join a team in villains was probably around Issue:7 and sadly I really miss it. However, in contemplation of the amount of effort and time I have spent on this side of the border I believe the best option is simply to call it a day, I've played so long and I can't be bothered restarting. Also, theres lots of other games I may draw my attention into.

Also, I really hate the fact when your subscription is up you can't post here anymore - it strikes me very odd.

Fury

I'm going to excuse you for that since your Welsh, but why is every time I hear that I hear her voice... It's quite funny!

I'm more of a Jacks man, or whiskey - we make lots of whiskey up here!

Fury

Wow, that is seriously embarrasing. "B" instead of "M", oh dear.

Analogies are analogies: stupid. This is a game, not an interpretation of our own lives - he has a valid point. I think analogies have been the most ill-used English use of expression thanks to the interwebz.

The point of a server list merge advocates several things:

• A harmless joining of two communities, with minor sacrifices for either community.
• An option to allow EU to keep their accounts, at the very least, after all the EU will be making the most sacrifices.
• 4 more servers for the NA to play on, which I think will certainly population boom them back into use.
• Actual server merging is extremely difficult and raises a lot of problems, simple and complex: for example which server on NA do you merge with only 4 options from EU; to the problematic name-clashing; even account name clashing.

Villains have and will always experience some constant "k" which is a factor of deficit in relation to their hero counter-part population. The fact is that people just don't enjoy playing villains as much as they do heroes, at least here on Union.
Moving servers, server transfers, would actually increase the amount of activity if they implemented a server list merge or server merge, and allow people to experience different server qualities. Besides, nowadays NA has such a high population that you can start a character on any of the servers and still enjoy the atmosphere, if your in it for the casual gameplay.

Supergroup collections, efforts and achievements will inevitably be sacrificied unless they somehow achieve some sort of system transfer from EU to NA, which I extremely doubt is even within the margins of possibility - at least within reason. Unfortunately I also conclude that any character-base achievements: badges, SG efforts, influence, enchancements will probably not make it across the border - even characters may not make it.

The problem I foresee in the developers mind is the significance of the EU problem: Spending all this time re-organising and changing hardware/software, etc does not aid the other 95%(NA subscription base, and exaggerated value) whatsoever. I can understandably see the NA base turning around in Issue: 20 EU saying "What do we get, whilst you fix them?". I think the problem has been raised and escalated to the best of our abilities but in face of the effort/time consumption ratio we will succumb to pastures gone.

You shouldn't have to by now and I most certainly will not opt for paying that, I always refer to GW's as an exemplary MMPORG - not comparitively gaming-wise but the handling of their intricate community.

At first you were divided into several "Sub-sections" like America, English-EU, Asia, etc. Then they had several "instances" of particular zones to allow for extreme over-population within said sub-section. At this point in time they had an offer of "5 chances" to change your native server then that was it. Much later on they finally implemented a globalistation of the server "lists" - for lack of a better expression.

I particularly like the window of 5 options to change your native server, and thoroughly advise the devs' to go with that option if they cannot implement some sort of cross-server localisation. However I strongly hold that a server list merge would be the best, even if it means that you have to connect to their NA servers, and vice-versa, I'd probably go renew my subscription.

Frankly I find the fact I have subscribed several accounts to CoH/CoV and have to simply tie them off rather insulting. I've played since CoV came out and excluding the odd break I've subscribed since then. The deterioration could be argued as not exclusively their fault, but its more the fact all my money's commitment to this game has been utterly pointless.

Actually it is when you believe that such a topic created in this sub-forum does not in any way hint to that particular subject. You are being naive or oblivious to the fact that the other answer to the question is "No I have not, because....." which then leads on to "why...".

For goodness sake, use common sense why would you ask this question here, when you know to expect an answer like that, it's hardly out of context. Especially when within the parameters of this sub-forum, a very large proportion of the posters are EU subscribers?

He is asking about whether or not, simply put, old players now play on NA which is a valid question. However, considering that I know a few of the EU-to-NA transfer people, they will not respond to this thread. Hence the apparent misconception that we are whining or derailing the subject.

As have many pointed out, I have also not moved nor felt any compelling need to since I've put far too much effort into my account to simply revert back to the start again. Although I am sad that good players such as Terror and Carni' moved but c'est la vie.

EDIT: If your debasing the simpleness of our situation like that then your opinion is humorously exact of those that are, again, as I said on the safe side of the barricade.

Fury

Ah yes, the naivety of once again the person who is the on the safe side of the barricade.

Bravo.
