    MMOart

    Bit of a thread resurrection, but I am now officialy angry with MMO Art.

    I got a peice commisioned nearly 3 years ago now. I paid my deposit and finally got the artowrk finished after about a year of nagging. I got the finished image in a jpeg form only so far. I've been patient with Jamaro several times, eh even made offers of doing 2 extra peices of artwork as compensation for the delay.

    After seeing the site ressurect earlier this year I was hopeful, but now the site is basically just a placeholder and the e-mail address I have for them has just bounced back so I have no way of contacting them!!

    I paid half in advance for the artowrk, that's £50 (about a $100 at the time of paying it) for what is a well drawn jpeg, so yeah, not best pleased!

    Has anyone else got any other way of contacting him so I can get something out of him, either the finished artowrk I was promised or some sort of refund!

    How on earth this man and company can get any respect after all this is beyond me.

    But the ads thing makes me see how British that come to the states go crazy with the amount of ads.

    All that said, given there is no actual revenue from the shows I guess they can kill them on a whim... other than loosing potential international licensing that is... and the fact that this new series is partially founded by some Canadian station.
    no, ownership of a TV in the UK means by law you have to have a licence as they still have the ability to recieve the signal from the BBC.

    I have heard rumours of people getting TV's without the relevant bits in to recieve the signals and only using them for Video/DVD/Games etc but it's always been a bit of an urban legend tbh.

    I think the BBC do make some revenue from their programming, sales worldwide etc and DVD's and the like, but I'm not certain. I think I'll page Dreamweaver for that sort of info
  4. Wow, so many replies already saying pretty much everything I wanted to say

    All I can do is reiterate what has already been said, treat the early stuff with a big amount of helthy cynicism and fun, they are great shows but not to be compared to modern stuff, or even stuff of the same era, like Star Trek!

    But damn, it's been a good long run

    Most of all.......Enjoy, you're in for 45 years worth of great sci-fi and entertainment

  6. Cheers all, curently listening to KJSR and DJ Kaine, will try the others in due course, although Cape might be pointless for me as I can't get on Virtue, being a EU player and all that....perhaps when the mythical server list merge happens

    Easy, stick him in the oven in a pastry for about 2 hours until he stops squealing.


    .....oh, wait, I misread that.
  8. Now that we're all one big universal happy family, I was wondering if any of the US players can point me in the direction of the better US based online radio stations that are based around CoH.

    I already know about the 2 EU based stations, Coalition Radio (mostly as my wife DJ's for them ) and Evolution Radio (mostly as I used to DJ for them ), but I wanna listen to you crazy Americans as well, so if anyone can give me any links and recommendations?
  9. I'm not bothered about the prizes, tbh. I love JOATS's idea about the charity donation, that fits in well with the whole heroic theme as well

    I'd be happy with a load of in game goodies, really, cossie codes or adding all the add-on packs for instance, like the magic and science packs or something.

    I just want the chance to be able to enter, see if the EU players can match their US counterparts for storytelling!

    Was just about to post this myself. Apparently our money is good enough for them, but not our entries. I know there are some legal reasons for this, but surely something could be done?? There's gotta be some way around this? Honestly, what is it that actually makes it impossible for people outside the USA and Canada to enter??

    Finally, something that might have made me want to go in game a bit more and I there's no point

    Little bit more aimed at WoW players, obviously, but still pretty relevant to any MMO player, i know i can probably relate to a few of them, especially yhr Altoholic bit
  12. I hope not! I've already got mine!

    Coin is my main, my hero main, his Praetorian counterpart is Cointerfeit, same origin but instead of being shot with an energy blaster gun, he was shot with a radiation blaster gun, got different powers and a scarred face that drove him insane, especially when he learnt about the original Coin

    I might re-roll Cointerfit for GR, if the storyline works ok with it. he's not a high level yet.

    Halloween event?

    Did a search and couldn't find a mention yet, any news on what's happening for the Halloween event at all?

    Please, though, let there be some new stuff in it, not another invasion!
  14. For your discussion, I have a specific reason for playing *mostly* female characters.....it's much easier to make a good looking cossie for the female characters. for me at least

    Can't seem to get the hang of making male cossies, they always look stupid ot me, I think I've made, maybe 3 decent looking toons!

  16. Nope.

    Not allowed!

    Mumsie, you're not allowed to go anywhere!!

    Stay with us, Mumsie!!!

    *sobs uncontrollably*



    Seriously, will be a sad loss to the game whilst you are gone, you've always been a legend on here! Good luck, mummy!
  17. Was just about to post a seperate thread but I think this may be what's causing problems for me.

    2 days ago, the game ran fine, flawlessly. Now, after the patch I'm having a massive problem eveytime I alt-tab out to my browser, music software, anything, the system completely freezes for a anywhere up to 30 seconds. Even worse, I have a dual screen system and when I move to the other screen the same thing happens.

    As I said, nothing has changed, not a single thing, even checked to see if there were any updates to windows that ight have caused it but since last week. I've cleaned out my drivers and updated them to the latest nvidia ones for my card (9800 GT) and had no luck.

    COuld this memory leak be the issue for me or am I looking at something else entirely?
  18. Dude, you're just not getting the friendly banter between football fans, here, are you

    I don't really think they suck, they wouldn't have been in the Premier League if they sucked, especially after the stonking start to the season they had last year.....but they ain't as good as my team ergo, they suck

    Well... you did ask
    Wait, I gotta point out the irony of this statement.....

    So, after supporting Man United for 31 years, since I was 5-6 yrs old......that the moment my local team finally manages to get to the Premier League, because I DON'T suddenly start supporting them after never having follwed them AT ALL......that's what makes me a traitorous turncoat??



    You're just sore because you support them and they suck
  20. Woah, that's spooky.....that's the exact time they are planning on turning on the Large Hadron Collider!!

  21. Oh, and for those who are unsure about entering this fantasy league, I've been playing it for a couple of years now and it's a great system. Easy to understand, easy to use and comepletely free to play as well, very recommended!
  22. You know what....I freaking LOVE football!!

    Ya boo sucks to the miserys who want to decry something that literally billions of people love!

    I've joined the league of the OP and I hope more people do, in fact, I hope this thread stays open as a long term thread to talk about the beautiful game

    Oh yeah, 31-yr long Man United fan here as well, so there's more fuel for flamage for people to latch on to
