Ironblade

Or I can choose not to buy it at all. I have a boatload of points, which has little to no bearing on the fact I think they are too expensive. If they go on sale, I might buy if they are cheap enough.

This can happen on any task force.
Step 1) Have the leader log out and back in. If that doesn't fix it....
Step 2) Have EVERYONE log out and back in. I've never seen that fail to fix it.

You have a choice about not playing the iTrials, too.

You just had to add this to rub salt in the wounds of the poor and downtrodden, didn't you?

'Bargain' is a value judgement and entirely subjective. I have "many characters on many servers" and I think it's too expensive.

Let me explain something. Every aspect of everything in existence has people who don't like it.

Also, your reference to "the paying subscribers" is quite arrogant. Do not presume to speak for all the subscribers.

Perhaps those were actually Christmas tree COSTUMES.

I have a USB mouse plugged into a USB to PS/2 adapter. Why? Because I have 2 computers and a KVM switch hooked up.

No. All the server does is send a message to your computer saying, "Play this sound file." The music is generated on your system. I haven't noticed anything odd, but I'll pay particular attention now.

A lot of creatures do this now. CoT Behemoths grunt when you beat them down. I've noticed it on a couple others also.

Sounds like it was poorly phrased. Each unlock will unlock ONE slot on ONE server. You can unlock one slot each on 7 servers, or 7 slots on one server or any combination thereof.

Yes, yes and yes.
To be clear, the IO's will not function AT ALL. You don't just lose any set bonuses or special effects, the enhancements will do nothing at all.

Yeah, for some people this is true. Anyone who doesn't care about Incarnate stuff, for example, doesn't lose much if they drop to Premium. Let's see, you would also have to buy each Signature Story Arc individually. There are some other minor things that I don't recall offhand.


It flies just fine. This is not a F2P game and this game is not that game anyway.


Yep, works the same way here. It only costs me $11 per month since I buy for a year at a time.


Well, that part about not repaying loyalty is false, so the comment about business sense is irrelevant.

Because you buy them from the Astral vendor in Ouroboros. Some things are sold there, some in the market.

Oh sure, it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.... (notices OP's avatar).... oooo... sorry.

And? You can't afford to buy everything in Target or Walmart, either. How is this a problem?

Perhaps. There are a number of arcs in the game that can be started at a level but the contact will not allow you to complete the arc until you are a higher level. Maria Jenkins' old Praetorian arc, for example.

The means exists. Whether or not it is "reasonable" is entirely subjective.

Pretty much.

The answer isn't a pretty one, but giving free transfers, overall, is going to take less money out of their pocket than giving 800 more points. The transfers are useful to some people, and they have a specific price when you actually buy them, so they can say, "Look how generous we are."

Sure, most people would rather have the points as it would be of more value to them. However, for simple business reasons, I would venture to say that is not an option. The equation is not Server Transfer vs 800 Points. The equation is Server Transfer vs Nothing (or something else of value to only a limited group).

Since you have the Task Manager open anyway, how much RAM is CoH using when you have to terminate the process?
