    7: Eve Online
    8: Final Fantasy XI
    9: LotR Online
    10: CoH/V

    Sure we're #10, but we still beat the other super hero games.
  2. I had a chance to flip through a copy of the Guinness Book of World Records 2012: Gamer's Edition at work yesterday and found two listings for City of Heroes/Villains. We were in the top ten list of MMOs based on subscribed users (and practically the only non-fantasy style game on the list) plus we hold the record for the most free content updates ever (and as of publication they had only counted up to I21). Thanks for years of record breaking material; I'm sure going to miss my trips to Paragon City, Praetoria, and the Isles.
  3. Who lives in a lost city under the sea? *GREAT CTHULHU!*

    Enormous and eldritch and squamous is he *GREAT CTHULHU!*

    If dwelling in madness is somethinÂ’ you wish *GREAT CTHULHU!*

    Then head to RÂ’lyeh and swim like a fish!

    I thought the same thing with regard to "heat damage". To me, it also seems like dehydrate should be fire (heat) rather than cold.

    to me this smells of a test to see if freebie friday would work on another night, like when they show a tv show not on its normal night.

    or they could be getting legimate complaints from people who only play on weekends,and miss out on the freebie.

    I am reminded of the first halloween event it only lasted 3 days during the week and weekend players complained,so next year it was longer.
    I was glad for the four day window, since I keep forgetting to check for Freebie Friday items a day early. Maybe we should call it Thrifty Thursday.

    And agreed. Maybe have water do a special type of damage vs. fires so that water blasters, and the devs, don't get laughed at once they try to start fighting fires.
    How about some bonus damage the way the Undead Slaying Axe works?

    Yeah, but given the teaser story we need it to look steam powered and be called the Prussian Prince. It would have been cool if the invasions were a series of mini instanced maps, like the Halloween trial or Winter Realm. Depending on the city zone, the mole machine or sub could have been visible somewhere in the terrain to at least justify the hordes of troops swarming about.
  8. Where are the mole machines? They should be bursting from the ground and releasing the troops. A 20K Leagues sytyle sub would have been nice, too.
  9. I know I can swap them back around, I was just wondering what might have caused it. It was kind of wierd to see everyone moved from where I had left them. I got a little paranoid for a minute when all my lvl 50s weren't there on the front page. Thanks for the info on the text file, I wasn't aware of that.

  10. I think the first part of Lord Nemesis' plot was to rearrang three pages worth of characters on the select screen, as none of them are in the order that they should be. Anybody else run into this problem?

    GC
  11. What we really need is a post-holiday clearance sale in which the price of all leprechauns is drastically reduced. :P

    I heard many others mention this EB issue over broadcast in DA too so it sounds like something is definitely wrong.
    My lore pets pretty much handled these guys by themselves.
  13. Well, that's too bad. I was looking forward to buying this guy, but certainly not at the listed price! Maybe next year they'll put him on sale...

    Cannot find map!

    Obviously Mot has won and devoured the city.
  15. We had about 10 hp left on the twin Shivans and were ready to claim our new badges.

    Bugged for me; and so much for the VIP tech support...I stood around for about half an hour before logging w/o a response or even the generic email...
  17. At last, the stars are right...

    Hmm...maybe when I put "join me for a winter pool party" on the invitations I should have been a bit more specific.

    There's a lot more questions to be answered and story to be explored, even after his death.

    And trust me, his death scene is pretty stirring.

    What does it mean for beating him up in Recluse's Victory?
  20. It might not be you. I haven't changed any drivers or settings and I'm not very luminescant, either.
  21. I can't even get that far. If Manticore drops a poison patch on the floor it won't go away. He dies, and Miss Liberty just stands there. If I have to click her it's not very responsive, but I was expecting her to react like a usual hostage and am under the impression that she thinks Manti isn't dead yet.
  22. Even with most of the league holding up a padlock icon, the "lock the team" feature still failed to function properly...
