Zwill, I'll always remember the time you sat down to chat with a group of us late into the evening at the last Player Summit. It gave me a new appreciation for your position. Wherever you land your feet, they will be lucky to have you.

Peace

Oy! good question.

*runs off to check on alt bases*

Hrmmm.... okay... this may be a bit terse, or blunt, or naive, but this is what I put together...

*This belongs on CNN*

Is this article getting vetted yet?

I've been on almost every night.

I have a goal to get my other two mains some shiny IO builds.

So, I'm mostly playing the market or trying to stock up on AE tix, but I'm also up for anything that earns Reward Merits.

Awsome!

I was thinking about that the other day, but didn't really know how to approach it.
I mean, obviously I wasn't going to run into her at Red Robin.

.

The only thing I see is that they keep saying their focus is on mobile games.
Which is why I understand the many questions regarding changing NC, because they do not have any mobile games.
HOWEVER, the answers to those questions seem to indicate that they do not intend to try and change NC except in terms of f2p....
Least, that's what I garnered, corporate speak is a bit of a foreign language to me.

I also agree with Briggs. They do not understand the importance of advertising over here.
I understand trimming advertising budgets, or getting creative with advertising, but you can't just cut it out completely and expect your products to sell.

Excellent advice overall.

Don't feed the Mogwai (after midnight), or splash water on them.

Not even clicking on the link.

Take a look at Arcanna's explanation of licensing here
It might be the case that NCSoft may own the characters and images, but we still have some usage rights to them as well.

btw, I was very impressed with your article, to the point that I did something I hate doing... I "signed up" so that I could recommend it.

You see, I was sitting in Red Robin with my girlfriends and their children on our weekly lunch outing when three guys waltzed in and took the table just to the side of us.

I paid no mind, chatting with the girls, playing with the babies, and coaxing the 3 year old that calls me "Auntie" to eat her mac and cheese. I paid no mind, that is until a few key words jumped into my ears. Here's the partial conversation from my perspective:

"Did you hear about the accident in the news? about the ambulance that hit someone in an intersection?"
"Wow, some people just don't pay attention. How did they miss the sirens?"
".... best game ever..."
"... technically ambulances aren't legally supposed to run red lights, same as fire trucks. It's a 'courtesy' that drivers are encouraged to allow them the leeway"
"... just give it to the fans..."
"That's not what everyone is taught in driver's ed..."
"Missy, take a bite of your mac..."
"It's hot!"
"Is the li'l man hungry?"
"He ate already, but I'll give him some more..."
"... being in the industry ..."
"He finally tried some avocado and I think he was surprised by the texture, but then demanded more"
"Oh yeah, Missy loved avocado... still does"
"... Felicia Day... 'nuff said..."

(OMG my ears were burnin')

"I like avocado!"
"Do you like mac & cheese too?... take a bite!"
"Yes, you need to eat if you want to stay bigger than your brother"
"I have a feeling he's gonna outweigh her in a month!"
*snickers all around*
"... met some people... steampunk costumes... didn't realize.. a group here in town"

(ACK! must find a way to talk to these guys!!)

I sat there with my girlfriends, looking oh so white bread suburban housewife in my jeans and light blue and white striped tee shirt: cooing at the babies, coaxing the three year old to eat, and furiously trying to think of a way to communicate to the guys at the next table.

Obviously I couldn't just up and say "Oh hai, sorry for evesdropping, but I'm a gamer here in town, and I have a friend who is a costumer that specializes in steampunk and renaissance. Maybe we know some folks in common. Oh, and I assume you've heard the news about CoH? There are some petitions going around, it'd be great if you would toss your voice in by signing them."

No, no that would be waaaaay too awkward, right?

So instead, I whipped out my small notepad that I keep for such situations, and quickly scribbled down this brilliant message:
Vegas CoH Players
Impish Kat (forums)
@Bo'Tanika
and
@Rangle M. Down

Then I waited.

I watched surreptitiously as they received their bill. Two of them got up and wandered in the direction of the bathrooms, one headed out to the lobby. I kept glancing at the restroom hallway, and soon saw the reflection of one of the guys in the pictures hanging on the walls.

Quickly, I got up and went in the direction of the bathrooms... As I approached the man, a largish man in a tropical themed black button down shirt (not overdone, it was nice), with nice... ermm.. pale hair... I smiled brightly. Those of you who have seen my smile, you know what I mean... brightly, with a little glint... my "oh hai" smile. He smiled back, but ducked quickly to pass by. I grabbed his arm (dear lordy... that just sounds terrible, but that's what I did) to stop him mid stride, and handed him my little slip of paper.
"Oh, thank you!" he said in a rather surprised voice. And I kept going, glancing over my shoulder to see him reading it.

It didn't really hit me until later, when my dear hubby teased me about hitting on random gamer geeks, that he might have expected something else on that paper...

Oh dear... I am sorry dude, it wasn't my phone number.

Agree with others... do a little googling on "tenants rights" for your city/state.
Most laws state that tenants are supposed to be given 30 days written notice.
Make sure you check into the specifics of tenant's rights in case of the sale of a property. Even most sale documents have a 30 day window built into the wording to accommodate these kind of instances.

Best of luck, hope to see you before the lights go out in Paragon.

*crosses fingers that the lights will stay on*
