Actually after thinking about it, I want to stay where I am but as my billing address is in UK, will I be able to receive the comic even if I stay where I am?

In short will I be considered a UK customer if I decide to stay on the US servers?

And are we actually going to get the comic? Or are we going to have to continue importing it?

Another point? If everything is going to be geared towards customers getting servers, support and forums in their native language, will the comic also be made individually for each country or language too? And if so will we get put in with the US players for the English version?

I think it would be nice to have the same comic but with regional differences for special events like character competitions.

Well to be honest if you are aiming at giving the comic to non English speakers, then a comic written in English would be kind of inappropriate if not offensive to them.

Which is worrying me, as I can see the comic being a US (North American) deal only due to the logistics of printing different versions. Because to be honest if the Germans, French, Spanish etc...Got their own version and we in UK got the American one (with thier competition winners appearances) I'd be peeved

Oh one other point, I realise that I may be coming across as pushy, angry or agressive but really I am just concerned mostly and not angry with any of you at all. Well not yet anyway, till I hear the news I am expecting about the comic.

If I sound obsessed about the comic, well I suppose I am in a way, because isn't it every kids (young or old) dream to see their own hero in print?

I want to play my character which I have PAID to play upto level 41, on a UK server, I want the comic, entry to competitions and to be able pay in sterling or at least Euros. Rememberr also that the majority of us who are UK players came to the game because we were invited into beta and didn't want to wait a year after launch to continue playing.

We should be consulted as we are customers after all and have paid not only to buy the game but also a monthly fee.

If other "lesser" MMORPGs can manage it, then surely CoH can because it is a great customer focused product, please don't let us down now. We have been patient about the comic so far and we've been supportive about the lawsuit too and many of us have registered our disgust at the company causing the headache to CoH at the moment. I've even boycotted products from that company because of it's treatment to CoH and a lot of us in the UK have done the same.

I also on the other hand do not want to leave my current Worldwide friends behind.

But at the very least let us register as UK players, keep our accounts as they are and where they are (if need be) but allow us the same rights, privileges and respect as everyone else. If we have a UK registered address then recognise that when it comes to CUSTOMER benefits.

Cheers

Maybe you should ask support, I noticed that there are arguments both saying that you're kind of character is safe, as it is parody or not using image AND name. I also saw posts where people have said that unless you copy the look to the very last, minor detail, then you are not infringing upon copyright.

To be honest the whole mess seems to be verry complicated and maybe it would be better just to ask support what they think. If you say that you are prepared to spend some influence and change how he looks if needed, I'm sure they will be as fair as they can be. But they also may be VERY sensitive about this issue at the moment.

I'm sorry that i can't help you more but I answered you because I saw that you have asked a few times and no one has replied to you yet.

I hope they let you keep your character as he is BTW and I also hope that the case is won by Cryptic in such a way that we can make any hero we want, copyright or not.

I have not copied heroes but I can see why people do, where else can you make and play a version of your favourite super heroes?

I can't see why 5th would be changed, the Nazi has been shown in MANY different films, games, comics and books which aren't factual in Europe. Plus it is going to be different servers so they could possibly just remove them for the german servers,but can't see why, they were a fact of history which have been used in a lot of entertainment media.

Also they are not being shown as good guys are they? I don't see them going and if they did it would be a mistake.


Although I did hear that when "The Sound of Music" was released in Germany, all scenes with the Nazis in were cut, so it must have looked like a large family just running around Austria and singing for no reason, lol.

I know I didn't "have to" but I have imported my comics by buying them myself. But the cost for delivery was so steep I waited till two new issues were out before I ordered.

At least theres one comic now I can still read considering I'm boycotting "Marvel (tm)"

Also another question (sorry Bridger) will we get teh same chances to appear in the comic as our North American friends?

Any details of launch competitions?

Come on please tell us that Customer supprt got it wrong and that we DON'T have to buy the game again PLUS lose our characters we have been playing since launch I really want to transfer my account to a UK account for a few reasons, one of which is that I want my comic and another is that I want to pay in sterling.

I paid for 2 games to be imported, got hit for import duties on both and will not be paying again to start from scratch. I know the problem is that probably don't want all us post level 40s running around Paragon City on day one, but think about another way, we will be great advertising too. We will bring in friends and some people will also see how the higherr game looks.

Also and a BIG also, if you let us switch, you get a lot of people who can answer in game questions from new players which will cut your call and email questions HUGELY.

Also we were invited to beta, so it must've been expected to have international players who would want, no DEMAND, equal treatment regarding competitions, comics and other CoH stuff.

Another question, will the DVD edition be available at UK launch?

Oh and BTW, welcome

Nice to meet ya

Thank you too, I laughed out loud when I clicked on my first door but not half as hard as when I clicked on my second one.
