The fix is already on the test server.

3) DO NOT LEAVE THE STUFF IN EMAIL.
Sometimes we have server sneezes and things stored in the email box go bye-bye. Send the item, log to the other character, and claim it.

I see. You're one of those 'casual players'.

Responsibility is irrelevant.
It is a COMMON, DESIRED and HELPFUL feature. That's all that matters. By the current standards of e-commerce, lacking that feature makes a site deficient.

But we're flexible. If you really must build your team on the 'trinity', that will work too.

And THERE is the wet blanket aspect. Okay, so for you, this is no big deal. Accordingly, you make a long post in detail about why it's not a big deal to you and wonder why anyone would care. Have you ever heard the phrase, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything."?

Expressing a difference of opinion is valid. Spending a paragraph to say, "Who cares?" is a waste of time.

And we don't care if anyone says thank you. We don't post helpful stuff here in the hopes of adulation or recognition.

Management is not responsible if you get lost and die of starvation somewhere in the base. On a related note, if you stumble across a decaying corpse, please let us know so we can get it cleaned up.

I'm not sure what triggers that. Some people (myself included) have been able to make 3 purchases in one day. Others (myself included) have been limited to 1. Maybe it's based on the phases of the Moon.


I've had that also several times - but only when buying large quantities of computer components (i.e. enough to build a new system) online. Apparently, online electronics purchases are a prime target for scammers.


*buys 800 points*
"Darn, I want that item also. I need more points."
*tries to buy 800 more and is denied*
"*&#$*&#$#"

Oh, one point that just occurred to me.
You don't earn the powersets at all. You get to pick from a huge list of available powersets during character creation. At that point, you haven't even finished the character yet, so you have done nothing to earn anything. Buying powersets just gives you a bigger list to choose from.

Correct me if I'm wrong, though, the invite only tells you the name of the nimrod inviting character and not the name of the dipstick SG.

Except once you get an incarnate level shift, that statement is false. At least, for purpose of drops, which is what the thread is about. A level 50 minion will con blue to a level-shifted 50. But, since they are both officially level 50, the minion can drop shards.

My solution was easier. I bought all of them.

There are numerous credit cards available with no fees and no interest if you pay the outstanding balance when you get the bill. I have four of them. I have ZERO cards with fees. Some will hit you with an inactivity fee if you don't use it at least once per year (which shouldn't be hard to do).


They work fine. My boss is big on these cards at Christmas. I have bought boosters, character slots and subscriptions using both a prepaid Visa card and a prepaid American Express card. These cards have a downside, though. Say you buy a $50 card and use it to purchase 6 things at $8 each. That's $48. You have $2 left on the card.


I think it depends on your state. If you're in a state where they have a physical presence (CA and TX?) then yes. Otherwise, no. I know the boosters have cost me exactly $9.99 and I live in NY.

We all know this.
The point is, "Here is what I accomplished, based on my experience, starting with nothing tangible." It's an invitation to others to benefit from someone else's experiences. In real life, you can learn from the mistakes of others, as well as your own mistakes. And you can benefit from guidance from those who are more knowledgeable than yourself.

Yep. And, since I'm accustomed to spending an extra $40-50 per year on expansions/boosters/etc, I'll probably keep spending that much extra on other cool stuff.

OMG, that is BRILLIANT!

No. Unless someone is in range, or on a team/league and anywhere in the same zone, they can not see:
- if you are in an SG.
- your picture, bio, badges, etc.

So, people are probably just spamming invites based on the search window. If you're already in an SG, they get an error message.

I was *SO* going there. I had already started mentally composing a snappy reply when I saw yours.

I imagine someone considered the pros and cons. Online credit card fraud is a huge problem.


Until you need to buy more Paragon Points, using real money.

I don't think this is an XP vs Win7 issue. I dual box with no problem on Win7.

BTW, if only the second account crashes, and only after 2 hours, is that worth installing an entire OS in the 'hope' that it might fix it?

The servers are down EVERY Thursday morning for weekly maintenance.
This only changes on rare occasions (like long holiday weekends, etc).
