I just recently hit 12 months, and though I got the badge, the powers have not become available. Is there something I need to do, or is it just not working? And, if it's not working, do I just need to hit up a /petition?

As with every AT in this game, it's all about your playstyle. Some have trouble leveling a blaster to 20, others blaze through to 50 soloing. I personally find blasters to be easy to level solo, but like I said, it's really all in how you play.

Regen is really good, and I believe that Bs/Regen was a popular FOTM a while back, and I can see why. I personally don't know a whole lot about Willpower, except that as previously mentioned, regen requires more clicking, though it isn't unmanageable.

Blasters are fine the way they are. There may be a few individual powers that could probably stand to be upgraded a touch (read: a LOT) but over all, I think it comes down to a matter of playstyle. You can't play a blaster like you would a scrapper, or a corruptor, or a defender, and expect to do well. Blasters are their own special breed, like every other AT.

Really, it COULD work, but only if you were damn good at what you do. Though, to be honest, I would prefer a pet MM to a petless MM any day.

Granted I think server moves should either be free during events like this, or each character gets something like two server transfer "tokens" so they can switch if need be. However, If you Signed up a year ago, the freedom and virtue were still very populated, so you could have figured out pretty quickly. I realized in two days that I had accidently chose one of the most popular, Virtue, as my home. You made the choice, you live with the consequences. Besides, with the curve coming up it won't really matter anyways.

I'm a little curious as to WHY Virtue and Freedom are so popular. My chars are all on Virtue, but that was a totally random selection. So, quit whining. YOU chose to put your chars on the heaviest used servers, so YOU suffer from it. I am too, but to be honest I'm pretty sure NC can handle it. With Guild Wars, and the huge number of players that turn up to special events, and Lineage I & II going strong with far more players that CoH, I'm not really worried about it.
