Don't blame the judicial system. Blame companies like Disney that are sue happy.

As long as people have the option to not participate. A lot of times people want to keep their teams private.

I never once saw anyone use the AE channel to look for AE teams. So people have already refused that "frickin' sweet new car".

If that part isn't mandatory I'm dead set against the idea. Cuz we all know that a "Join now" feature will get abused by the "PL Meh!" crowd.

Then you should have no problem renaming all of your characters when someone takes the names you chose away.

Then you should love CO.

This isn't the time or place to start listing all the bad ideas Cryptic has decided to implement in CO. Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Only one I can think of was when we mentioned it would be great if the EU servers could be added to our list of servers.

Merging servers is not a QoL upgrade.

Sure. You accused me of backpedalling when I gave you a sarcastic response. So I called you out for backpedalling on your claim to Aett that you didn't insult anyone.

I was just pointing out that the OP was apparently satisfied with the info he got and has moved on. The current discussion on the table between different parties will probably end up with us agreeing to disagree. While there have been jibes from parties on both sides we have managed to keep from being nasty.

Wow . . . and he accuses us of backpeddling.

It really has nothing to do with NCSofts vision. This game was sued by Marvel when it was still owned by Cryptic. In those lawsuits it doesn't matter if CoH wins, because they still end up paying tens of thousands of dollars defending themselves. NCSofts bank accounts aren't limitless so they're going to make an effort to enforce copyright/trademarks.

I think your confusing the OP Cyberdude with Frosticus. Cyberdude's question has been answered to his satisfaction and he hasn't returned since, as can be seen in his last post.

And maybe you should learn what sarcasm is and how to know when it's being used.



Your the only one here that is getting upset because no one is fawning over you and agreeing that your right. You've posted several times that you were done but it keeps eating at you and you come back to get even more frustrated. But if it's your coping mechanism to imagine the people disagreeing with you are hostile and antagonistic rather than accept that your wrong, then go for it. What you think is going on on my end of the keyboard makes no difference to me. If it helps you can imagine me pushing nuns down stairs and kicking puppies.

Ditto.

5 years . . . multiple accounts . . . and I have rarely had to try more than twice to get a name. On the rare occasion when the name was the most important feature I was easily able to find it available on one of the eleven servers.

Actually let's expand on your idea. The people on least populated servers should pay less, The people that play on the middle populated servers should pay the same as now, and the people that play on the most populated servers should pay more than everyone else.

If you want to play on the penthouse server then you should pay the big bucks to be there, and since there is a huge population there should be a queue that you have to wait in until your number is called before you can play. Also since those servers are in such high demand your actual play time should be limited so that other big city players get a chance to play.

And since the low pop servers aren't as crowded there won't be any limit to length of time playing or a need to wait in a queue to play.

1. So anyone that disagrees with you is using strawman arguments.

2. Why would the EU players need to be warned of anything. If you had been reading the suggestions we want their servers added to our list. that would bring the number of servers up to 15.

15 is more than 11. That's an increase in servers not a decrease.

Yep. I remenber when I first joined and I saw the yellow and red. I assumed that yellow meant there was a problem and red meant the problem was serious.

Green meant A ok
Yellow meant caution
Red meant danger

I always stayed on the green servers.

Obviously you haven't been reading the responses you have been getting in this thread. If you did read them you would have seen that the majority of people responding have said they are not paying to play on the most populous servers.

And this just demonstrates that you have no clue what those bubbles mean. Server load does not equal server population. 1 person doing the wrong thing can send any server into the red.

Just because Freedom and Virtue are the most populous servers doesn't mean the majority of players make it their home. If you added up the number of players that don't play Virtue or Freedom you'll see they outnumber the big city servers.

ROFLMAO! But your getting upset because most players don't want to play the way you want them to is the pinnacle of logic and maturity.

And we're back to that sense of entitlement. You think the devs should cater to your whims instead of the 120,000+ that want to be able to choose to play on low pop servers.

The $15 bucks you pay for your sub does not equal the $1,800,000 they get for our subs.

Agreed.

That's a personal problem you'll need to learn to deal with. It's not the players nor the devs responsibility to help you cope with the fact that you don't get to dictate how other people play the game, who they play with, or where and when they choose to play.

You're right that this game has similarities with real societies. Freedom and Virtue are this games big cities, and the other servers are the towns and villages.

We as players have the choice of living in the big cities with all their chaos and problems, or we can live in the towns and villages where the air is pure and the water clean. Where life is relaxed and slower paced.

And just like real life in this game there are more smaller communities than there are big cities.

No you're reading that right. I quoted that right off their site. Anyone that misses the deadline will have to cough up $50. per character. I won't be surprised if I hear they start hemorrhaging subs as people return, get pissed and cancel their accounts.

Of course I don't know how long in advance they have been telling their players that those servers would be shutting down. Given enough advanced warning it's possible there aren't many people left that need to move.

And in my opinion they make that choice because they are inherently lazy and want to make as little effort as possible playing the game, but feel free to disagree with me.
