  1. Is that 'good news' in a Professor Farnsworth voice?
  2. If I am a winner, I permit NC Interactive, Inc. and NCsoft Europe Limited to use my name, likeness, photograph, hometown, and any comments that I may make about myself or this contest that I provide for advertising and promotional activities. I also certify that I am at least 13 years of age and am eligible to participate in this contest.

  3. I know I hardly ever post, and I'm usually no good at saying things the right way, but instead of moaning about the rough deal we're getting why can't we, the EU, actually DO something ourselves to get more players? I know in the 3 years I've been playing that at least 3 of my friends took up subscriptions to the game, even if only briefly, but that was 3 more than it would have been as they'd never heard of the game before!

    If everyone decided to stop playing in protest then of course they'd shut down the servers. There'd be no reason to keep them running.

    The more people we can get to play the game, the more it proves to them how passionate we are about this game. Okay, so there's no advertising... we, the players talk about the game to our friends, get them to tell their friends and so on..

    Just an idea as I'm depressed right now with all the doom and gloom
  4. Happy 18th Birthday Beet! ^_^
  5. Congratulations! Hope you both have many years of happiness together


  6. When the Snow family was promised an 'around the world trip' this was not what they expected...

  7. The nice braided buns hair option from the Martial Arts Booster Pack appears to have disappeared from the Tailors.

    This is also happening on Union server, so i presume it will be all of them. On entering Cimerora through the Midnighter Club the floor has been lowered so the character gets stuck up to their knees in the floor. Teleporting doesn't work, nor does /stuck. So basically, unless you've already got a mission in the zone and can use the mission teleporter the zone is now out of bounds.

  10. Are we nearly there yet?
  11. Liked the 'oops' moment from Mod08 in Pocket D when Jack in Irons appeared from nowhere and promptly collapsed on top of a load of people

    Thanks for an interesting 3 hours!

    Updater error

    You could try pressing PrtSc and then opening something like Paint and doing Ctrl V to paste the screenshot of your desktop in to the program.
  13. Here we see Pirate Ed modelling his newest invention for one legged piratical types everywhere, the 'un-dead' leg. (Note: May cause balance issues if not fitted correctly, hoovering head attachment sold separately).

  14. Deja vu.. every time i restart my computer i get the "Failed to rename" error! I have to either rename the .new file to a nice .eu.exe file.. or delete the .prv and change the name of the updater to the US one, then back to the EU one after it's tried to install... or i download the updater AGAIN!

    Ever feel like you're going around in circles?
  15. Dang it.. shut down my laptop when I went to bed last night after fixing the Updater so that I could get in to the game. Now I try and log in only to discover that the Updater doesn't work anymore. Have now just re-named the cohupdater.eu.new to cohupdater.eu.exe and that's fixed it for the time being. If, after a restart, that no longer works i'll have a go at downloading the uploader that Niviene posted..

    It connected and said that it will install to C:\etc.... and do I wish to proceed
    Said yes and it started to download
    After a few seconds I cancelled the download
    Renamed the cohupdater.exe back to cohupdater.eu.exe and ran it directly

    Worked fine.

    Hope this helps
    Thanks I think we were on the same wavelength.. Only thing I did differently was to say NO when it asked where I wanted to put the files and cancelled, then quit out of the updater. Renamed and it's working fine now
  17. Is there a way of getting the updater to work for the EU please? I've tried all this and NOTHING is working.

    Edit: For EU peoples this should work..

    1. Go into the folder where CoH is, for example c:\program files\city of heroes
    2. Delete the .prv file in there as per instructed by TheOcho
    3. Rename the cohupdater.EU to just cohupdater (if you're in Vista click all the appropriate YES buttons as per normal)
    4. Right click and run as Admin if in Vista, or just double click cohupdater
    5. When it asks where to put the files (as it's now wanting to install the US version) just say NO! and Cancel.. quit out of the Updater.
    6. Go back into the program folder and rename the file back to cohupdater.EU and run it again.

    Hopefully that should work!
  18. It slowly began to dawn on TheOcho that something had gone terribly wrong with the team teleport...

  21. Hi, I know it says "All Servers", but i was just wondering if this is also for UK servers?

    European Meet?

    Anywhere outside of the UK is not so good for me.. I'm in a wheelchair and have serious medical issues that prohibit me from travelling far Birmingham would be fine as i used to live there, and know most of the places that are wheelchair friendly.
  23. Wow! I had no idea about this either! I shall have to have a nosy around the Shadow Shard to see if i'm there
  24. I don't know.. it seems to me that this 'understanding cultural differences' is turning into a 'majority rules' kind of mentality, where of course the US are the majority and everyone else is a minority.

    To be honest i'm thinking of never posting on these boards again, it's not like I'll be missed or anything what with all these Americans stating 'welcome to OUR boards' everywhere i look.. To be honest I don't feel welcome at all as they obviously just see this forum as THEIR place (Ok, generalising, but i've seen it a lot). I miss the EU boards. This place is alien and just feels unwelcoming and plain wrong.

    Run by Americans, for Americans
