    And it knows there's no moderation going on so it'll keep at it as long as it can.
  2. Since last night after loading the beta client, I have been unable to get the in game store to show me any items.

    The store window comes up but remains blank. After leaving it in that state for a bit, eventually this comes up:

    "There was an error processing your request. Please try again later."

    After clicking on, say, the New tab, the background changes color and after X amount of time the following comes up:

    "Internal Server Error
    The server encountered and internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, root@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might had done to have caused the error.
    More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
    Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at mall-beta.playspan.com Port 80"

    Continuing to let it sit cycles through the two quoted errors.


    Has any non-vip been able to access the beta server market since non-vip were granted access?
  3. Would have 8 years ago. Think I'll snag Freedom Force on Steam tonight based on nothing more than SR's post.

    I never click Walk and autorun on my female characters. Not once. Ever.

    Did you really invent it or did you discover and name it?

  7. It was the character models and animations for me. I loved (love) watching BZB slice through spawns, flying from one to the next, repeating the cycle. I spent an hour doing nothing but street sweeping 53/54s in DA last night.

    That's what I've missed every time I've gone away. That's what I'll miss when I'm no longer able to come back.

    The system I disliked the most? Incarnate progression for the obvious reason.
  8. I was here to flip out and kill ****. For meditation, of course.


  9. Sorry, had to be done.

    I've still got a claws/wp brute werewolf.

    The market on beta is working again?

    Thanks for the info, Z.
  12. Ummm... can anyone bring up the store on beta? I've tried several times over the last two hours and nothing ever populates within the store window. Perhaps an issue with my non-vip attempting to hit it? This is happening both in game and at character select.

    Ahhh, a real error finally appeared:

    Internal Server Error

    I've seen that myself several times since coming back. Apparently the forum can't decide whether I'm VIP or not. Perhaps it should open the damn box and figure it out.

    But, yes, I heard beta was open to everyone so that's where I'll be until the 11th hour.

    If you have points. I don't. I can't get more. Therefore, the store is dead to me. Offline. Useless. Shut down.

    That's how I was seeing it go down: Ex-Paragon bigwigs getting NCSoft to relent to a goodbye gift of access to the players before the nuke drops.

    Ahh. I read it as "giving everyone VIP status may be problematic."

    Why problematic, A?

    If I'm going down with the ship I want to make sure I've got all the hookers and blow to go with it.

    Guinness is cheaper and you don't have to sit in someone else's office to drink it.

    Wow. Guess I'll be living on beta until the apocalypse.
