With all due respect I'm sorry but it isn't hard to put aside $15. each month to pay for this game. Speaking as someone who is unemployed and living on a disabilities fixed income, I know what I'm talking about. It's just a matter of cutting back on non-essentials. Cut back on eating out, go to movies less, spend less on partying, buy cheaper bulk/generic groceries. If you're still coming up short try selling your plasma. I do it and I live in a fairly small town. I get $25 per visit. Not only will you make some extra cash but you'll be helping to save lives.

Not as cool as The Three Stooges Beer.





The beer that makes you say, "Hey Moe! Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk! Soitenly!"

I think we are seeing the birth of another Shiverwraith. It will be interesting (from a purely academic perspective) to see if he follows the same path of self destruction and ends up sharing the same fate.

Oh look Another forum member has already done what you ask and has provided links that prove you wrong.

Sorry, but you are once again incorrect. I was merely reporting what Black Pebble himself told us. You know Black Pebble, the Redname from CoH Marketing.


My forums? Hardly. I don't even browse 1% of the threads so I could never attempt to lay claim to ownership.

As I said before and will probably have to repeat more than once in this response to you Black Pebble the CoH Marketing Brand Manager told us in a post he made up in the News, Events & Announcement section.


No. Never claimed I did.

No. Never claimed I did.

Funny you should say that. While it wasn't a secret message and it wasn't a Dev. It was BLACK PEBBLE from COH MARKETING who publicly posted on these very forums the excerpts which I quoted.

Translation: Plainguy doesn't know how to use the search feature. Otherwise he would have found the thread where Black Pebble made the post that I took excerpts pertaining to this discussion from. He made the post on 05-28-2010, 05:07 PM

It also appears that plainguy doesn't know that he could have simply left-clicked on Black Pebbles name and selected option three from the drop down window that reads "Find More Posts by Black Pebble"



If you think the marketing promotion with Gamestop and Razer is limited to the CoH playerbase then you really don't know what advertising is.

Already done. Just read Sharker's response where he did exactly what you request and provided links to prove it, and Black Pebble already explained in his post.


In the future plainguy it would bolster your position if you did some research before posting. With only the slightest effort Sharker and I were able to blow battleship sized holes in your argument. Doing research will not give you cooties.

Looking forward to your next attempt to derail the thread

I see the spirit of KittyCrusader still haunts the suggestion forums.

As others have said, yes to some no to the rest.

I can't resist this.

Unfortunately there was a 30 day time limit so using your logic they weren't using the feature as the devs intended.


That was fun.

I'm glad that the devs changed their minds on this and extended the time limit to 60 days. Hopefully they'll see fit to remove it completely in the future.

Yeah only a complete moron would be concerned someone might have hacked his account while it was supposed to be inactive and used it for things that might get his account banned.

No. The restrictions are different in different parts of the world based on the amount of credit card fraud. In South America they can't buy directly from the NCSoft store. In the US one of the limits NCSoft uses is the amount we can charge to our card in 30 days.

That was a major screwup

Sometime after they merge the server lists so EU and NA players can play together.

The new email feature is your global vault. You can use it to store 20 items, 1 per email.

If you scroll down the forum a bit you'll see the server names. Those are the sections dedicated to each server and would be the best place to ask.

You might want to ask about the Repeat Offenders. They are a multi server group of players/SG's that have a good rep for being active. They may have something on Victory.

I nominate Dark Respite be hired to make commercials for CoH.

That is the one downside to the pre-made drops.

The devs did give everyone that option. <rt-click, delete> You should try using it rather than trolling the forums looking for imaginary insults to get upset about.

Reading comprehension, get some.


All I said in that post is that they are advertising it on one of the biggest gamestores there is, and provided a direct link to the advertisement.

Nothing I posted there was false and at no point in that post did I blame anything on anyone.

Maybe you should stick to trolling Power. He's more your speed.

Well my first post was just meant to point out that Marketing is in fact doing something, and Gamestop/Razer combined have pretty wide coverage. They aren't doing nothing.

The second post was to point out that what they are doing is in their opinion an advertising campaign, and with Black Pebbles post they are keeping us in the loop.

I'll take your word on all that. Math was never my strong point. Throw numbers and variables at me and my eyes start glazing over.

Now that's not a bad alternative. They could drop into your tray the same way the winter event temp powers do when a present is opened. And if you already have the power you get nothing.

They're still free and it solves the recipe issue. I like it.

Hold on. Power's suggestion was easy to read and legible. That's all we can really ask from anyone. As long as I don't get an aneurysm trying to make sense of his suggestions I can settle for simply disagreeing with the ones I don't like.

Yeah. Don't make Techbot use Tommy Lee Jones to beat some sense into you.

It's not just Gamestop.

By advertising thru both companies Marketing will be able to see exactly how successful the advertising was by looking at how many people bought the game from them and then decide if it was worth it.

Let's see the datamining you had a reputable unbiased third party company do that proves that only a few people want the temporary power recipes.

You are not the elected playerbase representative, and you have no idea what everyone wants. You only speak for yourself.

Just because some people are too lazy to use their delete button once in a while isn't a valid reason for the devs to punish the rest of the playerbase by taking away some of their free drops.

Yes it is, CoH marketing told us this is their advertising campaign.

Next time do some research before you post.
