  1. I remember someone in a team I was on summoning Amy Jonsson to help out in a particularly difficult mission. She turned up, and we all thought she was going to help..... and then she slaughtered the entire party.
  2. Unless you have irrefutable proof that you could supply to these people, I'd suggest not doing this.

    You can't just write to people with here say and rumour with regards to NCSoft employees, you would have to have 100% proof that you could cite at a moments notice to support your claims. The word 'slander' springs to mind.
  3. A lot of people probably know this one, but all the folks that went to the Omega Sektor player meet in Birmingham UK have an NPC with their name in the Shadow Shard
  4. The guy by the manhole cover entrance/exit to Faultline in blue side Pocket D is now almost entirely sunk in to the floor. War Witch has also sunk up to her ankles in the floor. Most disconcerting!
  5. The Coralax make a faint but constant tinkly musical noise when you get close to them
  6. Email NCSoft support and explain your situation and ask for a refund. If they say they won't refund you, then go to the bank.

    A word to my fellow heroes: while reading this announcement initially depressed me as well, I urge you to not give up the fight for the below reason:

    you are being offered a refund and not some play time on other NCSoft games like what happened when Tabula Rasa was put to death. What does it mean ?

    - either that the folks at Paragon Studios are even more awesome than we knew and fought for this (possible, but I'd rather contemplate the other alternative)
    - or that there is a possibility that the game will continue to exist under a different banner than the NCSoft one.

    Of course, this is just a possibility and/or the denial phase of grief speaking:but that's enough for me to continue the #savecoh campaign.

    I urge you to do the same. If everything fails and the game does disappear, then it will be time to explore other solutions ...

    Close ranks around TonyV and keep fighting : this one is for all the marbles !
    I would just like to correct this, because this is *slightly* incorrect.

    Going from the web archives of the Tabula Rasa website (i had to do this to refresh my memory on what happened) this is what was offered:

    On February 28, 2009, Tabula Rasa will be shutting down its servers, and as of January 10, 2009, the game will be free to play.
    To thank our loyal Tabula Rasa fans we’ve prepared a little closing down gift. Any active paying player as of 10:00 AM Pacific Time on November 21st, 2008 will be eligible for all of the following:
    3 free months of City of Heroes including digital client
    3 free months of Lineage II including digital client
    Aion Exclusive Preview Event access (details coming soon)
    Aion pre-order access (available in 2009)
    1 free month of Aion including digital client (available in 2009)

    These offers are limited to active paying players. Subscribers who join or reactivate cancelled accounts after 10:00 AM Pacific Time on November 21st, 2008 will not be eligible.
    If you are an eligible Tabula Rasa player, you’ll be receiving notification directly from NCsoft in the near future with information on how to collect these thank you gifts.
    If you are a player that has pre-paid for Tabula Rasa subscription time beyond January 10, 2009, you will be refunded for that pre-paid time by February 28, 2009.
    Should you have further questions please don’t hesitate to contact our customer support team at http://eu.plaync.com/eu/help/.
    From everyone at NCsoft, we’d like to thank you for the support and enthusiasm you’ve dedicated to Tabula Rasa over the last year.
    Bolded the important part.

    So, as you can see, they *did* actually refund game time as well. If i remember correctly, the date listed was also the date that they were going to make the game free 2 play for all, so subscriptions not required. Unfortunately, the game went free before Christmas 2008, but i believe that they refunded accordingly. I am not 100% on this 2nd part, because i was running on gametime codes that were given to me by Avatea, so I didn't have an account that was eligible for refunding.
  8. Some screenshots from the SSTF3 have been uploaded, along with a few others Will add more as and when I get them, so check back!

  9. If anyone has any screenshots from the 3 costume competitions, or any of the SS3TF, the Posi TF, or any of the other things that happened in-game. Could they post them up on here please?

    My laptop that I was using at Global Gaming has, unfortunately, eaten my screenies
  10. I just wanted to post a huge thank you to everyone that came to the player meet that posted in this thread as well, just in case those of you missed the thank you post in the other one

    Also, the group photo's from the meet are up here
  11. I just wanted to say a big thank you to Spad for setting up a wireless network for those that couldn't get an ethernet cable
  12. For those who would like to damage their sanity, here's a link to my photo album from the weekend.

    I will add more to it, including screenshots as and when I get around to it, and when people send them to me, or put them up on this thread
  13. Near to the hotel a lot of us were staying at, we discovered that Lusca - soon to be out of her job in Independence Port - had taken up a second job as a window display.

    Somewhere in Birmingham UK....

  14. Screenies?! This was a real world Player Meet (Although I think I have some screenies as well somewhere )

    Congratulations to the winners and runners up of the Worst Random Costume, Best Random Costume, and Best Golden Age Costume competitions!

    A huge thank you to Derek and Drew and Global Gaming in Birmingham for having us back again for our 3rd year.

    Also, a big thank you to NCSoft/Paragon for supplying the contents of their cupboards so everyone had a goody bag to go home with, and Logitech for supplying the main prizes.

    I shall put some of the pictures up when I've recovered from the weekend, as I'm a bit broken lol.

    *Hugs and hand shakes to everyone* Hope you enjoyed it!
  16. At Global Gaming, there's 12 of us here... where is everyone?!
  17. My 6 month sub went through on the 27th August. They've said they will be contacting VIP subbed players directly with information at some point, and to watch the website for any official updates. Which they'll put up as soon as they become available.
  18. I'd send an email to Support with regard to Billing. They will send you a reply back.

    Interested in 2 places and ideally will need 2 PCs - but can bring own ones up at a push.

    Travelling up from Kent on Saturday morning, so aiming to be there early afternoon and then going again on Sunday.

    Really just seeing if there's availability at this stage.
    You're just in luck. Global Gaming have 2 computers left as I've allocated 13 so far out of 15, so I'll put you down for the last two.

    Due to the recent news I'm not quite sure how many other folks will be turning up that aren't on the list, or if any of the 'maybes' will be coming along. So I'm hoping there'll be enough room for everyone. If not, I apologise! Hoping other folks can maybe share, or chat and stuff *Panics*.

    I'll try and point this thread in Kallandra's direction.

    The EU Player meet is happening this Saturday in Birmingham, England, and she's the boss of that having been the person who's put it together.

    The contest takes place at 10pm BST - so that might be slightly tricky given that some of us may be/have imbibing/ed (all of the above.)

    However, there's also some value in having lots of pics of players playing as we have the cossie contest.
    I'll ask all the folks that show up (at present there should be around 30 people showing up that I know about), if they'll be willing to come on to Virtue and participate if they're still at the internet cafe around 10pm.

    I'll raise a glass from here .
    Have fun you all!
    Hopefully you'll make it to the reunion meet next year instead then

    It's a shame Elizabeth Bathory isn't coming this year as he's travelling at the moment, he's also from the Netherlands, you guys could've travelled over together maybe!
  22. Heya,

    A few of us are meeting up in The Square Peg (Weatherspoons) on Corporation Street. Gangrel and I should be there around 4ish after dropping our stuff off at the hotel, and will be there for a while.

    Between 8-9pm Gangrel and a few of the others will be heading down to Scruffy Murphy's (the rock pub near Global Gaming) for the rest of the night. I'll more than likely be back at the hotel playing online
  23. I'm already running my 3rd annual CoH Unofficial UK Player meet this weekend (8-9th September), and was planning on doing a "CoH Player Reunion Meet" next year. Don't think I could cope with running another one a month after this one though :/
  24. *Waves at Shadowe* Have added you to my list Be good to see you again!
