Thanks for responding.

The point I'm making by bringing up that aspect of G.W.'s past is that even our enlightened government doesn't have clean hands so to speak. Even tho we like to portray our founding father's in a benevolent aspect, it's not actually factual. They did what had to be done and sometimes those things were pretty ugly.

If we were to look at just the bad things our own government has done since it's conception I'd say it's record is at least as bad as Emperor Cole's.

Savvy shoppers can buy copies even cheaper than that by checking out what's available on Amazon. I've picked up copies as gifts for as low as $5. (S&H included), of course I am careful to check the description to make sure it says something about the factory seal being intact.

SG's are about building bases for transportation? And here I've been joining SG's for 6 years for the ease they bring when I want to team up with other players and run missions, Task Forces, zone events, and social gatherings.

I wish someone had told us that SG's were only tools for base building years ago so I wouldn't have wasted my time making all those friends I met in the various supergroups.

Yep. The only thing annoying about them is that they don't have cell phones. I'd give one of Je Saists eyeteeth to be able to call them and accept/decline a safeguard/mayhem mission.

Nice touch. Quoting the guy that according to some historians was called the Town Destroyer by the Seneca Indians because in 1779 he sent Major General John Sullivan to conduct a scorched earth campaign against the four nations of the Iroquois which destroyed over 40 of their villages during the Revolutionary War. The devastation created great hardships for the thousands of Iroquois refugees outside Fort Niagara that winter, and many starved or froze to death.

I don't understand why velocity would translate thru from the point of origin to the point of destination. Even if a person is standing still on a planet, the planet itself is travelling at it's own velocity in addition to spinning on it's axis while the starship is travelling at a different velocity in order to maintain orbit over the planet. If they didn't have a way to circumvent/neutralize the differences in velocity would fly off and splatter against a bulkhead.

I used the release of Going Rogue and the free server transfers as an excuse to do a spring cleaning on all of the servers on all of my accounts. First I went thru each of my characters and decided who to keep, who to delete, and who to remake on my main account. Then I organized the remaining (unattached) characters into 11 groups. Then I started transfering characters around to their new home servers. It took me around 50 transfers to get everyone where I wanted them, and I only had to make two renames.

After all that I'm down to a lean 70 characters on my main account and I now have new personal SG's on every server, including Freedom where I shoved all the alts I've stopped playing but I'm unwilling to delete.

As long as they allow players the option of opting out of automatic team building I have no objection. I've played in other MMO's that have similar systems and the feature seems to attract a lot of people that join missions and then sit at the entrance waiting to collect the mission completion bonus while other players do all the work.

Why would they suddenly start explaining something like that when they never have in the past? I can recall more than one example where someone was beamed up to the ship while in one position (like sitting) and arrived in the transporter room standing up. If they aren't going to explain that why bother with something like comparative velocities.

Absolutely not. As someone that has served in the Navy on ships of similar size to the fictional Enterprise I can say for a fact it only takes a minute or two to get from the Bridge to the engine room and I didn't have turbolifts speeding me on my way.

I have to agree with the Foo on this. That movie rekindled the spark TOS started. Before that the only good movie was Khan. TNG, much like the second Highlander movie was a heaping pile of guano that never happened. DS9 was only watchable after they decided to follow in the steps of Babylon 5 and have a plot that lasted more than two episodes. Finally the only thing worth watching on Hooter Trek was Jeri Ryan's bewbs.


Nerdrage rebuttal in three . . . two . . . one . . .

The CoP wasn't a part of GR. It was reintroduced as a part of Issue 18: Shades of Gray.

No. The accident was lifting the ban.

If this is about the use of three different credit cards in one week then they probably flagged your entire master account including the credit card information.

The only way to be sure is to call. I hope it's something that can be easily straightened out for you.



As to my use of the caps lock, it obviously worked because you had no problem understand the point I was emphasizing.

Good luck on this issue.

Let's see If I see a guy that can pick up boulder and throw it at me. A boulder that apparently has a homing device because the damn thing follows me after I move out of it's trajectory, even around corners. Then I'm pretty sure that I'd think the safest place for me to go would be as close to the guy throwing the boulder as possible.

Why?

Because I'm hoping that

a. Pretty boy won't try throwing homing boulders at me when I'm right next to him.

b. Or I can dodge at the last instant and let the boulder smash pretty boy in the face.


I've seen enough of those damn cartoons to know that the coyote never manages to get safely away from the boulder chasing him.

HELL YES IT'S TOO MANY!!!

That's what credit card fraud is, using other peoples cards to buy stuff.

A company with an online store can't investigate every charge and verify that each purchase is being made by the owner of the cardholder or has their permission to make the purchase. The retailer can only program their system to give warnings and flag the account where suspicious purchases occur.

AND PURCHASES USING THREE DIFFERENT CREDIT CARDS, OWNED BY THREE DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN A WEEK IS DEFINITELY SUSPICIOUS!!!

Assuming this is the problem, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's what flagged your account with NCSoft. You should call up billing on Monday if this still hasn't cleared up by then.

Why wait till Monday? Because no one works in billing on weekends.

Yes, Zek is teasing you.

I do play on Virtue a lot, however the times I'm on are irregular and at various hours. I've got a back disability and sometimes I'm on for a couple hours and others just a few minutes depending on how my back feels.

My global is @bio hazard and I'd be happy to answer questions but I'm far from the most knowledgeable player. Theres a lot I haven't picked up. The Repeat Offenders that Fleeting Whisper mentioned is a great group of players, some of whom are on Virtue. Another great group is the gang at Cape Radio

Cape Radio

They are also on Virtue and their DJ's run a online station that plays music for players to listen to while playing City of Heroes.

The only downside to this is that to join either group you'll need to get an active account. Pesky trial restrictions again.


Once your up and ready to run your NA trial account why don't you send me a PM here on the forums and we can set up a time and place to meet in game and chat. I'm sure others would be willing to do the same thing.


To send a private message on the forums just move your mouse over to the persons name on the left and left click, that will open a drop down menu and the second option is to send a private message to that person.

One unusual thing they've done with the Going Rogue Edition is that all new players have to make their first character in Praetoria instead of choosing a straight hero or villain.

They did this so they can showcase all the new content to new customers. Once you reach level 20 you can pick hero or villain. But on a trial you will get to choose between any of the three factions.


Personally don't know of any torrents or work arounds to speed up downloading.

Anyone else?
