Cavenstones

Not sure about the first contest but the second had plenty of dragons as semifinalists, For originality Firecracker Man got bonus kudos and it fit the theme.

This contest was announced far enough in advance that you could create your costume and participate. Normally it's on the VIP server, Exalted. Why? Here's why. If you were the owner of CoH, are you going to cater to the gamers that are NOT contributing financially, or are you going to dedicate what free time your Dev's have to having fun with those that do? The contest is usually held on Exalted probably because it becomes problematic to separate toons that are free to play, and those that are not. And THEN to explain it to those that are free to play that, they do not qualify. Imagine if a lot of free to play players showed. Think anyone will be happy having to wait while the dev's judge 5 or 6 instances of Pocket D?
Look, I get that you want more events. But there's no reason why you can't run some on your own. And some of you are, which is great! But please stop griping about something the DEV's are doing for US the players. They don't have to, they don't owe us anything.

It is 01:51 pm Central right now.. i'm getting the same thing. cannot connect or lost connection to dbserver, made it also to choosing a chracter. As a side note, it is also keeping the last attempt logged after it kicks me back to the sign in screen. Can someone at least put an "aware of problem and working on it on the server status screen?"

Okay I see your posting, but the latest I see is from nearly a month ago, so what's the news about the current doen status of Virtue, been offline for almost two days. I don't seem to see any news updates posted here OR in the server status page other than it being "down" What's going on?
