    Yes, it's still there -- look under the zone's current name, "Echo: Galaxy City".

    This is what I recall as well.

    There is, and it's already been announced. Dark Astoria is being turned into a co-op zone that will offer street sweeping as well as door missions that can be done solo or in small groups, as well as a new iTrial. Scheduled for I22 if I recall my Pummit info correctly.

    Well put, B_L. This is about exactly how I feel about it.
  5. Yeah, Jesse (Ghost Falcon) doesn't have to be "at work" to log in and enable new items in the Paragon Market.
  6. There's a gate behind the building in Ouroboros that will take you to the "Echo of Galaxy City". There you can find the plaques and exploration badges for GC.

    By the way, Agge, the Market doesn't change at a certain time -- both from my experience and from what Jesse (Ghost Falcon) indicated at the Pummit, he has to log into some system and do it himself (he said that he had to log in on Thanksgiving, for instance -- to enable the Black Friday sale, I'd assume). I've observed the Market changing as early as 9-10 Pacific on Monday evenings, as late as 1-2 Tuesday mornings, and a couple of times not at all as late as I was willing to stay up (past 2:30 AM-ish).

    Hogwash. I got it on a VIP account the first time I purchased points. It's true for ANY account upon the first purchase. You must have just missed seeing it (but if for some reason you really DIDN'T, you need to contact Customer Support).

    He's absolutely right -- it's based on Reward Tokens earned, whether they are spent or not.

    Not that she needs it, but I'll back up Agge on this. I work in the industry, and not only hasn't this been true for a long time, with the recent Dodd-Frank legislation, interchange income has been turned on its head, so all bets are off now.

    $5 is just a nice low "round" number price point that they set -- I doubt there's any deep, mystical significance to the number (other companies use similar ones).
  11. I don't even know what to say -- I've known DC since I discovered the Victory Badge community almost 7 years ago, and it was clear from the start that he is a class act. A quiet, humble guy, the posts above me are testimony to how universally respected and loved he is by the community, and it's well-deserved.

    I feel for DC's family and everyone who loves him. He will be in my thoughts now and every single time I earn a badge from now on.

    Possible...but statistically speaking, large ACH debit transactions have an overwhelming chance to be a mortgage or insurance premium payment. I'm not excusing predatory business practices, only trying to explain that there is, as always, another side to the story.

    Perhaps...but to flip it around, oftentimes the larger debits (there are FAR more Automated Clearinghouse, or ACH, debits these days) are often for more important expenses -- mortgages, insurance premiums, etc. So yes, there are certainly institutions who engage in paying the largest debits first because they can generate more fee income that way, there are also some who may choose that method as a service (I know that I'd prefer to have my mortgage paid before ANYTHING else).

    Then again, if people would just have sufficient available funds present in their account at the time they authorize the ACH debit/write the check/withdraw cash from the ATM this wouldn't be an issue (not applicable to the OP of course, since his account was apparently debited earlier than the agreed-upon debit date).

    If you don't want to pay 2.6 billion inf to this guy and are patient enough to get it for cheaper from other sources GOOD FOR YOU!

    You're not the people he's aiming this at.

    So stop stepping all over the person's attempt to sell an IO. I know being a ***** comes natural to some people but suppress your urges!
    Yes, this, EXACTLY. Geez, why do people feel the need to **** on other people? Just don't buy it if you think it's overpriced. The ONLY thing that will, in the end, determe if it's ACTUALLY "overpriced" is if nobody purchases it. In the meantime, just move along if you don't have anything nice to say.

    Sadly, I see this happen frequently. People don't seem to pay attention to the "rearrangement" that the game often does after zoning into an iTrial, and repeated League, Team and Tell messages can go unheeded for quite awhile.

    Enhancement Diversification does not apply to special benefits or set bonuses. Hence, they are often used to get around the limitation of ED, and in some cases can provide greater percent improvement than the old pre-ED slotting.
    (I also recommend reading up on the "Law of Fives" section on that page if you're not already familiar with that concept.)
