    While you won't find me arguing with any sincerity against that statement, bringing back shame for bad behavior still sounds like a good idea to me.

    Or has tempering our expectations of people been exactly what has turned this country/planet into a hive of scum and villainy?

    I like it and am usually dismayed by games that don't provide it, so I'm genuinely surprised to see that listed, and curious about it.

    (Note that I do click-to-target as well, but I extensively and reflexively use tab to target things in front of my character, either as a way to line up an attack or sometimes to get "close" for more fine-grained targeting via click.)

    Interesting news

    Still have the original disk, so I'll fire it back up that way. No new content, no reason to bother.
  10. Last link under Development.
    http://boards.cityofheroes.com/charactercopy.php

    Last time I copied something it took about 30 minutes to show up.
  11. Aye, beta is now open to everyone. If you're not VIP on live you still won't be on test, but you can at least get on there and "buy" whatever powersets the system would normally allow premiums to buy.
  12. Use the NC Launcher to install the beta client. Log on there. Buy new powersets for 0 points.

    i played it for a little while and it is essentially 99% the same as the original game, except there is no playthrough 2 and you need to do a microtransaction to get the ability to get to act 2 and act 3

    other than that though its literally the same game
    Oh. So I should just load it back up and play it that way?

    WoW is cheesy as hell they have a million people playing. CO isn't being shut down either and it also looks like ****. It means nothing other than that it looks like ****. Get your panties in a wad much?

    I was gone for around six months and came back because of the shutdown news. The more I read about how it all went down, the more ticked off I got at NCSoft's treatment of the good folks at Paragon Studios.

    And they are good folks. I continued to believe that even as I killed my sub. I'm back for them and for the folks here on the forums.

    If the game gets saved, I'll be back again.

    But upset? Sad? Nah, just ticked off. Things die but as Venture so perfectly put it, the way something dies affects the living.
  16. Resubscribe, argue with people on the forums, flip out and kill ****.

    My question is once you apply one of these retail codes (which I just did; The Good vs Evil edition), how long will the VIP status last? Will it be until the game ends, or for only 30 days? Does anyone know?

    Thanks.
    Based on the lack of expiration date on my account now, after using a code to re-VIP after the shutdown, I'm guessing we're good until the end. But that is just a guess.

    My guess would be that it wouldn't take them for anything but new accounts.
