    Here's the kicker, though-- you wouldn't have to resub to keep your names, just log in under your inactive account and check off the names you wish to retain and you're covered for the next two years. If you never plan on returning to the game, you don't have to do a thing. However, if you do have an attachment to your characters but, for whatever reason, don't want to rejoin the game right now, you just need to spend a few minutes to note that and everything is fine.

    I honestly can't see how anyone could claim that's unfair, but this being the internet, I'm sure someone will come up with a reason why it is.
    I like your idea.

    Here are my two cents. All the years of playing MMO's, only -ONE- of them not only would delete your names, but your account as well. FFXI. Playing any other MMO, there was no threat of getting your account deleted. Nor the names that your characters had. Was it right for them to allow such things for people that don't pay and play every month of every year? Boils down to their choice in the end.

    Name purge, while good, can piss off people as well. I like the idea I quoted because it gives people a chance to keep a name they like even if they are not paying for whatever reason. And as for the name watch thread not being useful? I go back through it from time to time, checking names and seeing if they are free. Because of that, I snagged Forbidden Frost.

    But here is my question. Just what names are these other players complaining about not getting? It is proof there is millions of names out there for people, but...just what names can they not get getting their knickers in knots? Because right now this feels, to me, like someone yelling they can't get what they want and finding faults, but when pointed in directions and told it isn't that bad, they keep on yelling with fingers in their ears. But that is how I am seeing this complaint thread as being.
  2. Huh. I never have issues with finding a good name or ten. But I did look up that name you said was good. Tantalus, right?

    Yeah. Some of the 'iconic names' are locked for a reason. But hey, I could be wrong on what I read!

    Could and couldn't work. With the spirits, one has to look at the zone as a whole. If you look at what is actually in Imperial zone, you see that it is mostly clubs, movies and everything of entertaining value. I, personally, see Imperial as sort of Desire from the Sandman comics. Everything you have ever wanted or need, Imperial has it. *shrugs*
  5. [Ta-da! Nova is getting a VV page in the works. http://virtueverse.net/wiki/Spirit_of_Nova And for those that don't want to go look at her there, here is what she looks like in both normal and 'other' form.]

    Imperial and the sewers are still open. I think the spirits are more tied to the city zones, not just a single building. Sort of the spirit of the earth that everything is on, not just bits and parts to it. I won't say you can't, but seems to go against the spirit of the spirits?

    I could be wrong!
  7. [Hehe. I have no issues with anyone playing the other spirits. Though if you wanted, you could shorten Spirit of Neutropolis to maybe...Spirit of Neutro? I has no clue! Though I do see him having different sides to his personality because of all the different sectors.

    And the Sewers and Imperial are still open. I see Imperial as a changer. Never the same face nor gender because it is all about the fun! And a bit insane since there is a bit of devouring earth issue going on >_>]
  8. [I plan on putting in the Sewers and even D in. But I envy you for having more than three zones. Going to be hard to level her up while staying in the city, if such can be done. Working on finding that out!]
  9. Neutropolis

    The moment her foot lands upon the area of the eldest of the Praetorian spirits, she knows she is being watched. The clockwork are out in force around here, cleaning and tending to the many technological systems that litter this part of the city. Nova feels out of place even though she is housed in a clockwork form.

    “Little sister Nova!”

    She just barely turns to look as the massive clockwork mender lifts her up into the air with ease. There is a smile upon his face as he tosses her up and down like a child. She cannot help but laugh at the more joyful meeting between the two. Finally Neutropolis places her back upon the ground and wraps an arm about her shoulders.

    “What brings you to this side of the city, my little sister?”

    They walk along the sidewalks of Neuron's Reach, the smooth and perfect buildings bring her comfort. The people in the black trench coats are still lurking about, but they are not what cause her discomfort. The clockwork are.

    “I wanted to know if you have been feeling the newcomers as well.”

    Eyes cast to a group of clockwork, all huddled together. They stare at her as well as her and Neutropolis cross another bridge and move into Lambda Sector. His arm now moves to clasp his hands behind his back, his walk seeming to stiffen as he does.

    “We have.”

    Head shakes for a moment, turning to look up at the elder spirit.

    “We?”

    “Yes. We. But we are doing everything we can to get the most out of them. See?”

    He motions to what appears to be a manhole cover lifting up. A deformed face peeks out, spying on a young man that is walking along. In almost a blink of an eye, the creature leaps out of the hole and grabs the man, dragging him kicking and screaming down. Down into the sewers. Down to where the man might die.

    “That. That thing is one of the newcomers?”

    “Was.” Finger lifted up to her face, a very wicked looking grin on his face. It makes Nova uneasy.

    “What do you mean was, big brother?”

    “Some have the habit of turning up on the tables for Neuron, little Nova. He changes them. Trying to make soldiers for the war against the Primal Earth.”

    Nova moves closer to Neutropolis though not touching. She needed to remain calm and perfect even though this news is a bit unsettling. They walk in silence for quite awhile, Nova looking at the military building that seems to dominate the Lambda Sector. She knows that he is the eldest. He was the first. He is the one that helps protect the rest of the city. They move across the long bridge into Keyes Island, darkness seeming to cling to the air while reactors pump out strange green plumes of smoke.

    “How are you otherwise, Neutropolis?”

    They stop just near the reactors, his head turning to look down at Nova. The smile is gone. She gets the feeling he is upset with her yet unsure why. A little smile breaks out onto her face, trying to get him to smile back again.

    “You have the gall to ask me that, Nova.”

    The smile wilts under his glare and harshness of his words.

    “I was the first! The first!” Massive hand thumps on metal chest as he towers over her. “They should have stayed with me! But no! No! The Emperor wanted clean and perfect for his people! So they moved away, Nova! They went with you and Imperial!”

    Now she shrinks away only to have the larger clockwork stalk her.

    “I didn’t know! Please, brother, I didn’t know it would happen!”

    Heavy hand reaches out and misses her face by inches as she turns to run away. The heavy footsteps of Neutropolis can be heard, clanking over the bridge.

    “You took them away from me! You took the people that should work for me and with me away from me! Look at me Nova! Look at me!”

    She turns to glance over her shoulder and she finally sees what he meant. He is rusting on the edges, dirt caked into cracks of his wires while plumes of green smoke and steam rises from broken wires. He is not how he use to be. He is old and forgotten and dirty.

    “Nova!”

    She sees his hand reach out for her but his face is no longer one of fury. It is worry. It takes but a moment for her to understand why as the ground opens up and she falls into the sewers. Her scream is either unheard or unnoticed by the people walking about up top. But she feels safe because there are clockwork around her.

    “You…”

    “…would be better…”

    “…for her.”

    Nova feels something pushing on her mind. Like someone trying to force their way into her home. Hands reach up to clutch at her head, crying out in fear and pain.

    “You are not…”

    “…like the others.”

    “Interesting.”

    She surges to her feet and tries to run. But hands, countless hands grab at her. So she does the one thing she knows to do. To fight. It takes only but a moment, but when the dust settles, she is alone. Broken and mangled bodies litter the area around her. Nervous hands reach up to fix her hair and smooth her skirt as head jerks up to hear the heavy sound of clapping from above.

    “I guess your all grown up now, Nova?”

    Neutropolis is smiling down at her again but she does not like how it makes her feel. Her unease is enforced as the cover for the manhole settles back into place, cutting her off from the streets above. She moves to the ladder only to hear the clanking of clockwork in the tunnels.

    “I will…”

    “…have you…”

    “…for her.”

    She runs. But they catch up to her and the battle starts again. But this time, there are numbers on their side and they swarm her and rip her apart. Her shell gone, she vanishes back to her own area.

    In Nova Praetoria, the people report all the clockwork suddenly falling to the ground while tears streamed down countless faces. The people don’t know why they are sad. So they drink more Enriche and go on about their lives.
  10. Imperial City

    She makes her way across the bridge that links her to the other parts of Praetoria. The first is Imperial City.

    This part seems so alive. Yet even for all the life, she knows that they have the same dirty sewers that she has. She skirts around the Peoples Park, not wishing to dirty her feet and show that even Nova can be dirtied. Perfect at all times as nervous fingers reach up to make sure her hair is in place.

    “Today in the news, little Nova came to see the others of her family.”

    Such words take her off guard as mechanical eyes glance up at one of the many screens that litter this part of the city. There is a human on it and the title under it dubs him as John Houston, reporter. Yet those eyes look down upon Nova rather than at the camera. She knows that no one else can see what she sees, hear what she hears. The talk between spirits are for their ears alone.

    “Good to see you out and about, little sister.”

    “I am little?”

    John laughs, resting his chin in his palm as he seems to study her on high. Which causes Nova to brush at her skirt and fix her hair again in nervous reflex.

    “You look fine. Like the proper little official we both know of. Like the perfect image for the Emperor. But I am sure you didn’t come over here to get embarrassed by myself. Why have you crossed the bridge into my area, Nova?”

    Nova looks about, watching people come and go. Talking about going to different places to have fun while avoiding the people in the black trench coats. Seems that even here, the dirt rises to the surface.

    “There are newcomers to the world. People I have never felt before. I was wondering if you knew anything about them, Imperial?”

    John scoffs, sitting back in his chair before the screen goes dark. It returns a moment later with a beautiful woman, standing at Tiberian Bluff and looking back into the city. Her face then turns to Nova, nodding slowly.

    “They have linked our world with the Pocket D.” Head shakes as the woman turns fully to Nova. “A club of sorts like the Studio 55 but worse. It is linked to the Primal world. Why? Are you scared of them, little Nova?”

    “No!” She blurts out at the screen before taking a deep breath, trying to control her emotions. Perfect, always perfect. “They are hurting the people. Our people.”

    “They might be hurting yours, but they are helping mine.” The screen grows dark again only to have John Houston reappear again. “They like to party and you should know I like to entertain people. Make them feel good.”

    Nova looks away from the sly wink Imperial gives her. Imperial is the city for the people while Nova is the city for the officials. Such things like plays and night clubs do not belong among the perfect buildings. So the people come here for that.

    “You know, seeing you this upset makes me wonder if you get out enough.”

    Eyes shoot back to the image, her mouth gaping open while hands clench into fists.

    “Little Nova. Your mask is slipping.”

    The image flickers and for a moment, just a moment, she swears she sees a monster. Something deformed and mutated. Something that should be behind the fences. It flickers back to a normal looking human face but the chill of what that monster could be still runs down her clockwork spine.

    “Tell those newcomers that they are not wanted. Tell them to stay in their own world.”

    “Would if I could. But I won’t. Because, you see, they feed the people in my area with things to do. They give Neuron new test subjects.” John leans forward, grinning from ear to ear though his skin seems a bit redder? “Besides. When the Emperor finally launches the war on their world, they will end up here. And then the real fun can begin, no?”

    Nova quickly makes her way through the city, wanting to get away from the rift that lets these people she hates in. And away from the laughing face of John, flicking from screen to screen until she finally crosses the bridge.

    She will take the train back to her own area.



    [Hehe. Well, I have been working on the Faces of Praetoria for awhile. Just never got them onto the computer. If you wanted to make the different spirits of the city, I won't be against it. Just when I first quested in Praetoria, I fell in love with it. Either way, the last two parts of the city are coming!]
  11. [Yes. There is now a Spirit of Nova out and about. She is a work in progress still but I hope you enjoy the story.]

    Nova Praetoria

    Perfect. Always perfect. It took awhile for Nova to appear, but when she did, she knew she needed to be perfect. Not a hair, though fake, out of place. Skirt always ironed and smooth. No dirt upon her clockwork body. Perfect. Always because she needs to keep up appearances. The people that live within the city need to see things perfectly. Need to feel safe from the monsters that lurk just outside of the sonic fence. And she knows they feel safe. That many of them feel happy and blissfully innocent of what really goes on.

    She stands there at times, near the Civic Center. Watching the new people appear that are working with the Powers Division and running about. Helping in one form or another. Silver and gold is the new body form she takes on, like the very buildings that stand within her boundaries. Yet just like the city she watches over, there are dark parts to her. The cables that allow her movement, that shifts power through her limbs are like the very sewers that lay under the perfect buildings. The sewers are areas she dislikes like her own cables. They are dirty. They are not perfect. And they are filled with people that are upset.

    It confuses her. These people that fight against the law and the Emperor. She can see their point, in a way. They want their own lives, their own emotions. But they hurt others to get their way, like spoiled children. She hates them but loves them at the same time. She loves all the people that wander her streets and does her best to look over them. To help them and guide them to the right path. The perfect path.

    The others are not welcomed in her streets. Those that are not from her lands. They are evil. She hates them.

    Nova wants them all to die and leave Praetoria alone. Because they are not perfect nor clean. They are disorder. They harm her and her people.

    Sleep sweetly

    [Bare with me, it has been some time since I wrote any stories for characters. Expect more to pop up for this one over time/as she levels.]

    Sleep.

    In her sleep, she is far away from all the pain. From all the trash and refuse that she lives in. Times are hard for people in the world. Most tried to sell whatever they could to make ends meet. And then there are people like her. That sold off all their things to buy ‘Lull’ so that they could escape the pain of living life. Lull gives her wonderful dreams. Lull makes things alright. Until it wears off. Then life returns and she needs to steal something or sell another part of her dignity off to score just one more hit.

    Lull.

    In the Lull, she lives in a perfect world. It is run by an Emperor and cleaned by machines. It is more than perfect. It is heaven. She doesn’t have to do anything if she wants. The water makes her feel good, as good as Lull. So long as you didn’t look too deep, the world is perfect.

    Dream.

    In her dreams, she can control the minds of others. Give them headaches that would make them writhe on the ground in pain. Make them sleep deeply enough that she could sneak past them. She can even use such powers to steal some of their stamina for her own. She is powerful and no one can harm her or take away the perfect world she lives in. Until the Lull wore off.

    Nightmare.

    In her nightmare, there is another. A demon like creature that is always bathed in black flames. He taunts her, whispering words of her real life. Reminding her that the dream isn’t real. She knows the Lull should have worn off long ago. But months are passing and the demon keeps laughing at her. She cannot sleep in her dream but her eyes are always closed. She can talk in her dreams but her lips remain unmoving.

    Coma.

    In her coma, she is stuck. She does not know what has happen to her body. She is trapped in this once perfect world. Because the demon is slowly melting away the gold and white of the world this Emperor has built around her. Showing her just how dark and dirty it really is. She now knows that this world is like her own but not like her own.

    Slumber.

    In her slumber, she fights. She fights the demon and fights with him. She works on making people suffer because she suffers. She works on becoming much more powerful than she first started out as. She calls herself Lady Slumber. Because she has forgotten her actual name. And slowly forgetting her other life. The dream is blurring and she is lost down the rabbit hole.
  13. Now then! I sat down again and picked the brain of a friend who is better at crunching the numbers for this than I am. He told me the pros and cons about certain slots and many other things which I...might not remember later on.

    Anyways, he had to jet mid-way, but I kept on chugging away on the build in the works. So far, I think I like this one. As you can see, I slotted it with sets to get a rough idea on it all. If you have -ANY- input on what should and shouldn't go where and when, let me know. If not, I think I will use this build.

    Once again, thank you all for your input on this and helping me out. It means a lot to me.

  14. Alright. Sat down and thought it through a bit more. What I think my friend was going for was a high defense stalker since DB puts out little damage[?]. I left everything blank for now but going to look through the sets and figure out what may/may not work.

    If you have -any- thoughts or input, feel free to drop then down here or private message me. Thank you!

  15. I love DB to be honest. My first stalker is such and now at 50. While all the things you pointed out can be a flaw with it, I have since learned to work around it. Yes, I don't do much damage [though I always thought I did o.O] but I always seemed to outlast others with SR. DB is a slow killer but never had anyone that I teamed with complain about it or myself.

    Thank you for the input though.

    Hahahahaha....

    Ok. Honest? You don't seem to read what anyone posts to help you. It is almost like you already made up your mind that you hate us all, we are all against you, and you should just move somewhere else. And hey, if that is the case, good luck! I am sure there are other servers out there that will fit your mindset better.

    Edit:
    Now that I had time to think this over, let me put in a word of advice. Over the years of playing on MMO's or other RP mediums, I have learned this universal truth.

    If you want something, you have to do it yourself.

    You told us that yes, you have made little teams here and there. But have you made any friends with those that you played with? Have you gotten a global name or three and chatted to them about teaming up again? Have you gone out and sought any SG's to see what they are about? Applied to them or least browse their sites that are listed? Do you know that there are stickies threads at the top of this forum that gives you the channels and SG's that are looking for people?

    This game will not give you anything without working for it. The people that play the game will not give you things if you do not seek them out and ask them for it. The people on the forums are just a SMALL percentage of the server as a whole, but they do talk to others. Word of mouth, or word of text in this case, travels fast. But in the end, it boils down to you.

    Your the one that can make this game fun for you or not. Not anyone else.

    But I am sure you only see an insult to yourself in my post that was actually trying to give a word of wisdom. If that is the case, perhaps you need more than a new server or a new game.
  17. I plan on getting IO sets. No price range on the build. I just threw things in for the moment on the build.
  18. No one wants to try their hand? Pretty please?
  19. Long ago, a friend built my build for me. Sadly, with a virus, I lost all of the info for said build and like a dummy, I didn't back it up. With i19 out, I tried to rebuild my stalker on my own. But she seems...wrong. Not like she use to be. So any input would be wonderful!

    Do note that I put extra slots down in Sprint and Brawl since Mids' is missing the inherent pools. Think of them as Sprint/Health and Rest/Stamina. I do hope to give her sets but first want to get her up to speed in what she should have as powers and the like.

    My little base

    So, this is my second go at base building. My first is still getting worked on. I do know that I need to work on the height of floors better than what I am doing right now. I tend to make them...lack the head space needed for jumping or even getting on a bed. *laughs*

    This was built in two days on the budget of one person in the SG. And I still have much to spend...

    Entry area:




    First floor:





    Second floor:




    I plan on reworking it a bit. Lift the ceilings and shuffle things around perhaps. But overall, I am proud of the little place.
  21. If it is anything like what happened to a friend and I, you might have set off a warning to their system. Send in a ticket and they will clear you off it. So far, I haven't had any troubles after such false alert to my account.

    Build challenge

    I did look through a few of the builds around but if you bring up one I won't shoot you down. Not that mean. ^.^

    As for the roles they will play, the Crab will be more the tank while the Bane will support. Though if needed, the Bane should be able to take the hits too. Right now, we are leveling them up together and with leveling pact to see how they work and know our powers at the same time. They are already pretty deadly without a set build and us mostly going 'Hmmm...this looks good.' thought process. >P

    Right now, we will work on getting all the TT: powers and the pets as well. There will be no price limit since we can get everything we need either with them or through our alts. And we will go with IOs.

    Thank you for the input! Already it is helping to shape up the two better than before.

    Build challenge

    Looked through and I just can't seem to find two builds that I would want to use. Yes, two. One for my SoA/Bane and one for my SoA/Crab friend. You see, we both play them together and I am trying to find a build for both versions that can support each other without too much overlap.

    So anyone up for the challenge of two builds that complement each other when played together that is i19 friendly?

    Thanks!
