Needs more Mr. Socko and Pete Rose in a chicken suit.

To be honest, I wouldn't call going F2P a gimmick, I would call it keeping up with the Jones. Even that Azeroth thang is adding a form of F2P, aren't they?

That being said, some of the content is looking mighty long in the tooth, especially the 30-50 blue side arcs.

A buddy of mine let me test drive his beta account while the game was in early beta, I got my own beta account as soon as I could after that. Been sticking around ever since. Still enjoy the fact that I'm a Day 1'er (if that's a term), although I should lord it over people more often (the people I team with know my old buying vet badges joke).

To this day, I still get a rush zipping around AP hearing that music.

Happy Birthday, Elric

Dibs on filming the first reality show there.

It's like the old Larry Miller bit "If we pooled our money together, we could buy our own bar and do this every night!"

Are they going to ban weapons? This was tried on one of the Tonga islands in the 70's -- it didn't last long (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Minerva)

Apparently this is being set up by Milton Friedman's grandson

Remember folks, this is on top of the Time Manipulation powerset, so all kinds of new support combos out there waiting to be made.

Agreed, there is something wrong with IXP in general right now. I got 5% Judgement on a 24 man Baf twice last night. A friend got even less.

Ran a small Lambda with Frietag Friday the 10th. I logged into RWZ, a moment later Frietag popped in, asked if there were any trials forming, so we both joined one that was forming. He was on a elec/elec Tanker.

For all the efforts we've put in lately, it's about dang time!

Little late on this, but Happy Birthday nevertheless.

I love my brute Oh No Not Him.

"Get Oh No Not Him!"

First time in 4 days I've been able to load the Website, let alone the forums. We'll see how long this lasts. Win 7; Firefox 4, Chrome 10.0.468

This is not meant to be a comprehensive breakdown of all the aspects of the Lambda trial. It is intended to be read during the first minutes after you zone into a Lambda trial that you just used the LFG queue to join.

1. Make sure you have league chat showing somewhere!

2. The league should sweep some (if not all) of the perimeter, turning right from the entrance and following the road, clearing at least through the first group after the bridge to the Lambda facility.

3. The league will enter and clear the courtyard.

4. Some leagues may opt to clear the gun towers but this is a waste of time, to be honest (good xp, though). If you are a flyer, just fly low to the ground.

5. After clearing the courtyard, enter the main building and defeat the War Walker inside.

6. NOW STOP!!!!!! ARE YOU STOPPED YET? IF NOT, THEN STOP ALREADY! DON'T LEAVE THAT ROOM UNTIL THE ENTIRE LEAGUE IS ON THE SAME PAGE, AND READY TO GO.

7. Your league should now be split into 2 teams (it's easier that way). Pick a person on each team that everyone will follow. One team goes into the lab, the other into the warehouse. Make sure each team goes together, and that people aren't taking the wrong elevator.

8. Now the fun part-- each team needs to destroy the 10 glowies in their area (the glowies are not on the map, unfortunately). Your objective is to destroy the glowies! Don't stand around and skirmish the mobs, they do you almost no good. Once the glowie is destroyed, move on following the designated leader. Try to stay together. Your team is much more effective as a group . You are on a timer here, and for each pair of glowies that the teams destroy you will be awarded more time.

9. Once the league gets all 20 glowies, or the timer runs out, you will be tp'd back to the room that you fought the War Walker in.

10. As you destroy the glowies, your league will be awarded temp powers – either a molecular acid or a grenade (more on this momentarily). Any member of the league can be awarded either one of the powers. PAY ATTENTION! YOU CAN'T SNOOZE ON THIS! YOU NEED TO BE AWARE IF YOU GET THE TEMP POWERS. THEY WILL APPEAR UNDER THE TEMP POWERS SECTION IN THE POWERS WINDOW. If you have a free slot in one of your first 3 power trays, the power will appear there as well.

11. Now the League needs to move out into the courtyard to begin the Marauder fight.

12. Use the molecular acid to destroy the doors in the courtyard. If the doors are not destroyed, more mobs will come out of them. Each door not destroyed makes the Marauder fight that much more difficult (exponentially).

13. The grenade is used to pacify Marauder. It gives brief windows when he will take damage like a normal mob. During the Marauder fight, you need to have one grenade on him as you fight. They do not stack, so use one and only one at a time.

14. Temp powers can be dragged and dropped onto other players. Your league may choose to put grenades onto one person to make sure only one is used at a time. Some leagues may move acids around to ensure quick usage.

15. If something goes wrong with getting the temp powers, there is a way to get more in the courtyard Each temp power's container will spawn (and respawn) in the courtyard with some mobs.

16. If you die, there is a hospital on the map. That's why we cleared the first group after the bridge so you can get back easily.

17. Defeat Marauder. Profit.

Again, this is by no means a complete breakdown of the Lambda trial, it is intended to be able get you up to speed quickly.

I have an odd bug going on a character. Every time he zones, 2 specific chat channels drop from his tabs, he's still subscribed to them however. The same 2, every time he zones, and only on this one specific character.

Anyone out there have any suggestions/workarounds?

I bid 1 infamy! I know that everyone else will bid far too much (MSRP is actually 1 million ) and I'll sneak in and steal it when you all go over! Showcase Showdown here I come!

Wait, this isn't how this works?

35 minutes from scheduled start until defeat. Nice Job everyone, thanks for coming out
