    I think the Kheldians are creepy rather than hilarious or lovable
  2. Are any of the CoV scientists sane?

    Also ... for some strange reason Kord always has Circle conducting rites on his helicopter pad. Surely there is some explanation ...

    One of the buildings in KR I've always wanted to have worked into an instance is the Guns & Ammo store between the trainer and the train.
    I'd like a lot of the contacts to be moved inside, just for variety - like half the police contacts are inside, so I think it'd be nice to be able to go into someone's office, or even their apartment to talk to them, rather than doing it on the street all the time.
    For example, instead of Maria Jenkins standing in Poseidon Square by the statue, she'd be found in her apartment in the building opposite the statue.

    They don't have to be obvious - just buildings with more going on in and around them.

  6. Maybe NCSoft Support is based at a Renfaire?

    I went to one of those with 3 of my brothers last year - it was a lot of fun
  7. "Wench"? That's rather medieval, isn't it?

    And it wasn't anything to do with Canadians - it was a horse/showjumping joke

    as for the coming storm, my ideal-money-and-time-aren't-an-issue presentation is a world-wide makeover that reflects the troubles at hand. new villain groups, some destruction thrown around in what is normally a shiny clean zone. I've always wanted to see Perez restored and become Ms. Liberty's base and have Atlas ravaged and become a hazard zone (hollow atlas globe with a tree growing out of it is the image that comes to mind.)
    So you'd like some sort of cataclysm to hit the city?

    Crey should have a research facility and office block in Brickstown.
    The Tsoo should have a temple in Steel canyon or Talos.
    The Warriors should have some sort of dockside warehouse compound on Talos.
    The Thorns should have some sort of entrance to Oranbega in the Perez or the Hollows.
    Nemesis should have a steampunk base in the Shadow Shards.
    The Carnies should have a permanent circus tent area on Peregrine Island.
    The Clockwork should have a huge nest/city in Boomtown
    The Trolls should have some sort of fortified area in the Hollows
    The Family should have an warehouse/office compelx in IP.
    The Skulls should have a base in kings Row.
    The Hellions should have a base in Atlas.
    The Outcasts should have a lair in the Hollows or Boomtown.
    The Lost should have a fortified area in Skyway.

    The letter writer just using Montague's first name could be a clue of some sort - like he knows/has known him as a colleague of some kind - maybe an ex-Midnighter? A Midnighter who went rogue?
  13. I still can't work out if he's a villain or not from his letters - I'm like 99.99% sure it is a "he" because of the way he writes - he sounds rather creepy and sinister, but he could just enjoy being a bit of a jerk and trying to mess with our minds
    And becuase he seems to be against Silos/Nemesis, that also makes you think he should be on the good side.
  14. Welcome to the game and the forums

    It's almost like he wanted us to make the connection
  16. The coming storm hasn't been forgotten - it's just been rescheduled

    I think the letters could be linked to the Midnighters in some way, as they're also pretty big on time travel, and they've gotten hold of a pillar of ice and flame to access Cimerora.

    Positron has mentioned a presentation they've been working hard on

    That's what he'd like you to think, yes

    It happens from time to time if you exploit a lot.
    My advice is to avoid all farms

    Well maybe the banks are now being more cautious with their lending?

  23. Also, remember that the Positron TF is being revamped in I17 - that might mean anything you build for the current version could be out of date in a few weeks.

    Well, are you trying to withdraw more than you have in your account?
  25. Id they're that powerful, then they couldn't be captured
