All servers:

roleplayers

150+ people online peak times currently, god knows how many total overall since they didn't think of putting in a way to check it seems, I'd guess 500+ at this point!

Made a www.j.mp Link to pass to people ingame, nice and short so saves on copypasting, is human-rememberable:
j.mp/roguemag1

Link to this thread (thinking of when more issues come out):
j.mp/roguemag
or
j.mp/cityoffashion (or cityfashion, or cityofashion)


Anyway, proper reply:

Is cool! Shame that the blurry texture quality (even on high) when zooming in, and the lack of facial expressions (we need something like FallenEarth.com's face emote system) lets you down though, but you did what you can and still made it look cool mostly.

They really need to do a big revamp of character models and skins in the same way that they did ultra mode as mainly affecting the cities - the characters still look 90s/2000ish really compared to Champions (with the horrible cartoon effect turned off in their graphics options, anyway)

..Very disappointed Carnival Mistress code is apparently 1 use and someone used it already? You'd think NCsoft would've thrown people interested in outfits a bone there...

It's possible to read it sure, but it should be normal text size not tinytiny, stuff should scale to the size of your screen

Anyway, this reminds me of a conversation I had the other day:

03-31-2011 02:00:40 [Roleplayers]KiIIerkitty: I only got the game after villains came out, because city of heroes advertising made it look like some cheesy nerdy comicbook game. city of villains seemed way more cool, still does, shame pretty much every update is hero stuff
03-31-2011 02:01:47 [Roleplayers]KiIIerkitty: mmm, for villains it's like finished grandville do RSF... now become a hero
03-31-2011 02:02:23 [Roleplayers]KiIIerkitty: RSF is *old*, seems like thye havent added anything new to the game for villains really
03-31-2011 02:03:16 [Roleplayers]The New Black: they can't, then the vocal hero players, who outnumber the vocal villains, will bark up a torm.
03-31-2011 02:04:11 [Roleplayers]The New Black: er... storm, even.
03-31-2011 02:10:21 [Roleplayers]fenrir: Which of course only makes more people go blueside which makes them less likely to add to redside...
03-31-2011 02:13:04 [Roleplayers]KiIIerkitty: yeah I don't think its peoples' fault so much as the company, the way ncsoft closed down tabula rasa completely even though it was making a profit proved they are pretty ruthless
03-31-2011 02:13:32 [Roleplayers]Emgro: I miss TR.
03-31-2011 02:13:43 [Roleplayers]KiIIerkitty: they thought giving the servers and staff to Aion would give them a bigger profit, it backfiredo n them haha.

ha, I actually just posted about backpacks! Also carnie stuff: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...13#post3558113

Anyway, here's some stuff from a bunch of us doing ad-hoc RP teams now and then for carnies, we made a RP VG too called 'Eclipse Carnivale' too since we couldn't fit everyone in one team. There's a couple still in Praetoria getting to 20 so they can join. But yeah, ask on the channel and someone will probably be able to get you in
In-game, type
/chan_join roleplayers
(Virtue of course, where all the best outfits and character bios are )

those numbers are amazon's equivalent of ISBN, it's just a unique number for books people doing linkspam you can tell when it is, cos it always says stuff like "ref=" (referrer/affiliate) in the link ... And no I did not write any of them

that's totally what was running through my mind reading these, though I don't think I am really for marriage (don't think I will understand women who stick with just one guy tho when they pretty much grow on trees. I dunno, can't really get attached that way *shrug* And before anyone says it: http://snipr.com/doublestandards1)

Please can we move our characters from our EU account into the US one? I started up again on US Virtue server because of the lack of people on the EU ones, but I actually have been playing on for like over 5 years now since City of Villains came out (City of Heroes was marketed as very cheesy and bland so never picked it up I'm more of a Batman Begins kinda girl The base idea really attracted me too because I thought it would be more like Dungeon Keeper 2, said it before say it again that it is a shame that you couldn't have them used more with the game story than just pvp, which I used to enjoy now and then actually before the ridiculous issue 11 or whatever changes where they made blasters have scrapper durability whilst doing more damage, etc, which you think they would have realised killed off most of the pvp players even on Virtue it seems and rolled back by now, I don't get that. Also killing off motivation for going to the areas other than people who enjoy doing stuff for no real reason - I actually liked to bring my supergroup to RV and fight over the turrets before the whole AE farming crap I remember it actually meant something to control RV) - my account on the EU ones I have not logged on for ages but the characters I have have purples and stuff that I have not bothered to regain in my year or so on the US servers - I basically gave up playing the game, although I had already cos of boredom anyway really, I didn't want to restart afresh totally because it is such a ridiculous grind to get to the top now with invention origin enhancements, so just ignored it in favour of RP... If I had my characters back I might actually play missions again, and I bet I'm not the only one, I have bumped into quite a few people on Virtue from the UK.

Also VERY IMPORTANT: Can we please please please please also please move our supergroups? For people that want to restart on the more populated Virtue server like I did, it would encourage them to actually keep communities alive rather than the rather depressing "yeah, but see that mountain you need to climb to get a large base again? you start UNDERGROUND." Prestige built up over years is not really replacable - I have a dormant SG on my EU account with none of the people apart from me still playing, I would actually be interested in reviving it if I knew there were more people alive to actually enjoy it (e.g. on Virtue rather than the utterly dead server in comparison Union) -- One thing maybe that could be simpler would actually be to give us the option of transferring the only real unreplacable part of SGs (people can move freely, it can't) which is the prestige, even that would be good really if that would be easier on the programmy kind of things for us to remake the SG and then have the prestige transferred, I wouldn't mind remaking the entire base just to have the prestige back

Would be very very grateful if you could take the time to include options to do this to people who supported you early on in the EU rather than mostly leaving us by the wayside and saying "hey, if you want to play on the US servers you now have the option, but you're going to have to lose half of your characters by dropping either your US or EU account and one of your supergroups one way or another") - they would be much, much, more appreciated than more veteran rewards

I bet you aren't at high resolution tho -.- makes it smalllll, that's why pic is so biiiig.
