Think the delay between seasons was to coincide next season with the 50th anniversary. It will be worth the wait.

Quote:You should ask a GM if the character can be restored. Our GM's used to be able to do it so it couldn't hurt to ask.Originally Posted by Bonehead
Hehehe...sometimes I do.
If you do ask I wish you the best of luck. -

I have not read this, but it sounds like it could be amusing.
Where can I find it? Got a link maybe? .... Pleeeaaaassseee :P

TerraDraconis just dropped the hammer on Evil Legacy for accusing everyone of picking on the OP. Too funny. I always get a kick out of watching someone have a battle of wits with an unarmed person. -
Quote:I don't know if they were serious or if they were trying to see if he'd be stupid enough to ask a lawyer to help him commit credit card fraud.Originally Posted by Mr_Morbid
I'm more amused by the people that suggest he see a lawyer. Actually, I'm amused any time someone suggests seeing a lawyer about a dispute with an MMO company.

So is anyone else getting a laugh at the kid who has his panties in a wad because NCSoft banned his account for filing a fraudulant credit card charge back? I think his responses are funny as heck.

Where exactly in this thread did anyone say the game ain't dead? All I've seen are comments on where the remaining players could be found along with poking fun at a well known troll.

Yeah, Infinity was so empty I did the Yin TF, Manticore, Posi parts 1 and 2, Katie Hannon and the Cavern of Transcendence trial..... TODAY.
Maybe he was on at 5AM. Search was pulling up more than 50 during prime time on Infinity (blue side).
Edit: Oh, he said "in Atlas". I can believe that. We're not getting new players, so who would be hanging out in Atlas Park? -
Quote:I may be wrong but I don't think that's true. As far as I know accounts are the same as they are on live. The difference being that the store prices on Beta are all $0 so you can buy anything except an account upgrade.Originally Posted by SinisterDirge
Transfering your toons to the beta server is a way to be able to play them. While not booming, it isn't difficult to find a team. Also, everyone on beta is a vip as far as I know.

Quote:I'm also referring to the 27 incomplete Doctor Who serials, with 106 missing episodes that the BBC destroyed because they wanted to clear out some shelf space.Originally Posted by Dark One
I think he means the absurdly slow production time combined with the absurdly low numbers of episodes. We waited, what?, a year for 5 frickin' mediocre episodes. I mean, come on, 90% of a Doctor Who episode consists of running down a hallway. It can't take THAT long to film or write such scenarios.
Yeah the US is to blame for that.
Oh and even with the stupid split seasons (which I hate) that get done in the US we still get 23-25 hour long episodes per season. -
Quote:Consider it payback for the way your BBC makes and releases episodes of Doctor Who.Originally Posted by Coin
I dare say you US people have had these for ages, but to be able to watch them all again in High Def is great news!

An evil corporation fighting with leeching money grubbing jackals for a piece of the Superman pie while litigating vampires circle overhead sucking profit from both parties.
I hope they all go bankrupt. -
Quote:I have yet to play an MMO from launch where there hasn't been players running around with maxed out characters a week after launch. So running into players that have done everything a mere three months after launch is not unusual. CoH had the same lack of content when it launched. CoV was even more limited in content, and Praetoria the worst of all.Originally Posted by Scarlet Shocker
But also something to consider: TSW went live in July and already people are running out of stuff to do. It might not have the legs we think even though it looks gorgeous.

Quote:If they sell the property they have to report that it is worth what they sold it for.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
If they think that, by closing the game, they're somehow multiplying the value of the property, they've been drinking WAYYY too much soju.
If they retain ownership they can get creative with how much it's worth and claim whatever the hell they want when filing taxes and other accounting jiggery-pokery. -

I'd like to think it's not because of the closure...but HOW the closure was done. Word of their misdeeds is ruining them. Spreading like cancer among their investors.
Ah...THERE'S that warm, fuzzy feeling.
I got a warm
fuzzy feeling
for NCSoft.
Now help me throw
some more logs
on the fire. -

Paragon Studios had 80 employees. Assuming each employee costs about 50k (that's salary + all benefits, a massive low ball), that's $4,000,000 of the $10,000,000 revenue right there. I wouldn't be surprised if it was double that (an employee usually costs far more than their salary, and that 50k is lower than a lot of starting salaries for the field).
CoH, unfortunately, wasn't raking in the money, double so after all the costs. NC's other big name games, almost assuredly, have much higher profit margins.
True but we all know that nothing NCSoft says can be trusted so we can't trust that they'd be honest when reporting how much CoH was actually making or how much it actually cost to keep running. -

i was announcing in chat giving away 100 million to anyone who wants it
free pvp ios and free purples...
NO TAKERS! except the same 5 or 6 people over and over.
so its over. I cant even give it away now. So to the grave i take it.
when they put me under throw purples on top of me....
sad but true. I will uninstall the game now cause seeing it on my desktop sucks.
p.s. thanks for all the people reading my trolls, thanks to all the fun responses, thanks to allthe people i played with all these years....
bye and it seems you cant has it.
Not sure what the question that you are seeking help from players is. Could you be a little more specific? -
Quote:I tried to keep mine but when I exited the mission it was gone.Originally Posted by Slaunyeh
I've done it for Templar and Illuminati. I really like how the three factions essentially get the same story, but at different points in the overall story. Your actions as a Templar directly affect the mission the Illuminati get (the Illuminati show up at the parking garage last, after the show is essentially over.)
And yeah, the use of illumination is really well done. There are a couple of future missions that send you into darkness as well, very creepy. Speaking of which, remember to hang on to the head lamp you get from this mission! It will come in handy later.

Yeah I do see polaris mentioned a lot when team recruiting is going on.

1. Teaming ... Or the lack of it. I set out to try and put a team together on numerous occasions - with little success. It was explained to me in chat that the starter zone (Kingsmouth) is usually not a place where teams happen, which is a shame given that it takes a considerable amount of time to complete that zone .... and it has areas where a team would be of huge benefit.
Uhm, what Dimension were you on? Cuz I see people recruiting teams in Kingsmouth on Arcadia all the time, and I login to play at random times on any given day and see teams forming morning, noon, and night. Whomever told you that teams don't happen in Kingsmouth is full of the brown smelly stuff. -
an alternate use for time cards would have been perfect

Quote:The game isn't being shut down because the population dropped to the point servers needed to be merged. It's being shut down because NCSoft is run by evil corporate f-wordtards that couldn't stand the fact that CoH was successfully showing a small but steady profit, while their vaunted Asian focused MMO's are hemorrhaging lost revenues left and right.Originally Posted by Bad_Influence
I am honestly astounded that the game is being closed without even a hint of a prior server-merge. Dont bother condensing the population, just shut the whole thing down!! In what universe does that even make sense?!!

Quote:The Freedom TF channel is also global so that means that all 8 of them were probably actually on Protector.Originally Posted by Dixileta
You have to look at the number in the team search window to get a more accurate count. There may have been 64 people in the Protector TF channel, but since it's a global channel, they could be logged in on any server and show up there. I haven't seen more than 30 (unhidden) people on Protector proper for some time now, and it's continuously been among the servers with the lightest load.

Quote:What difference would it make? The entire player base would be forced to migrate to three servers. So the stuff you don't like about Freedom and Virtue is gonna get forced onto Union anyway.Originally Posted by Bookkeeper_Jay
Whew, at least I would be able to choose Union! Not fond of the other two choices.
