[color=yellow]Ya name deleted by Niviene are my only spam-mail source right now , which means this is probably the main organized group of spammers. Since if I recall infl/pl selling is against the gaming agreement & the fact that Blizzard has already paved the way for lawsuites, is this something that NCSoft will also be able to persue now? I know they're a smaller "company" as such compared to the monster that is Bizzard & therefor their resources may not be as much, but with the ground work already layed they should make it easier for them to pursue legal repercusions against spammers, no?


Please do not give spammers advertising by mentioning their names on the forums. Please use the in game method of /ignore spammer
Thanks,
Niviene

[color=yellow]ROFLMAS @ the Pillow fight!! Thank-you for the AWsomeness of the heads up for future events!! I already have the Post-It notes of the dates along one side of my moniter (yes I'm THAT much of an Addict, how'd you think I got the badge!?!?) Besides I don't always have the comp on so Need that quik reference when I glance @ my comp, lol.

**Walks off muttering bout open Beta & the lvl 50 V I have awaiting & the lowby h to test the Hollows changes out and . . . . **

[color=yellow]As I mentioned in my last post in this thread I am one of the regular users of e-mail to ppl whom are NOT on my friends/gfriends/sg or Coalition lists. E-mails are the only way I can tell someone how to get a CLEAR chat bubble background since every tell I've tried to send with the color codes for it, it Does the command instead of show it. Same with a couple of the other macro/ bind commands that I use that ppl in game ask me how to do.

Of course I only send the e-mails to ppl I don't know when they ask me how to do something that either can't be sent via tell, or won't be effective if sent by tell. It's a lot easier to type a bind or macro when you can look at the actual command while you're typing it, even if the chat screen is scrolling up. That's one specific benefit that e-mails DO offer over chat, period.

This is what I'm hoping for what they may be doing for I12:
<ul type="square">[*]spam button in e-mail options to report/forward &amp; erase spam-mail[*]Block Trial accounts from e-mailing (I'm sry but this I have to kind of agree with) [*]Options to allow e-mails/tells from specific groups, much as the options to see opposing side tells &amp; chats[/list]
I do not think non-credit card users should be punished, but trial accounts are just that TRIAL accounts. They are to give a person a "taste", so to speak, of what the game is like so they can decide if they want to actually purchase the game.

[color=yellow]Well there was one group of in active account owners whom may well be planning to return . . .when their Tour of DUTY ends. Lets not forget those wonderful military personel whom are being sent where ever the government(s) wants them with tours of duty that can last btwn 6 to 18 MONTHS (Depending one which country they're serving since us Canucks have a max of 12 months away per duty if I recall correct). They at least are one group of ppl that should be taken into account, for toons at least lvl 12+.

I'd agree that really low lvl toons if they're part of a 90+ inactive account, should be freed up, as they have done. But if you're talking about higher lvl toons on inactive account, I think that an absence of at least 2 years should be in consideration b4 allowing those names to be freed. I do think lvl 50 toons names should NOT be touched unless an account is inactive for Over 3 years to be honest.

[color=yellow]Well to be honest I'm one of those gamers who uses the e-mail system fairly regularly for ppl I don't have on friends &amp; for certain things you Just can't have show properly in a tell (like the color codes for clear chat bubbles). Since I get a lot of ppl in game asking me how to bind chat bubble colours &amp; other macro &amp; bind related stuff where they need to be able to see the info while they follow the instructions. Unfortunately Tells just don't always help with that since they scroll up when ever new chat's &amp; tells appear, where as e-mails don't scroll.

I have to admit I'm Very curious to see what the Devs' do to help us deal with this problem, whether it's with a [report spammer] button or [forward spam] so that the e-mail is directly delt with in some way. If we have that &amp; have to use it in conjunction with the standard delete (as in report/forward the spam-mail &amp; then hit [delete]) I'm all for it!

We discussed larger price points like what you are suggesting. However, doing so sets us up for more possibility of being in a refund situation.

For example, a customer purchases 36 slots for whatever nifty price we offer it for, thinking that they can apply them all to a specific server, only to find out that they can't because of the current max slots limitation. We can then envision that they won't like that and, not wanting to apply those slots to a different location, contact us for a refund. Unfortunately, all sales are final (as will be clearly stated in the disclaimers when you purchase said slots).

Given this possibility of buyer remorse, we'd prefer to have the user buy them as they go and feel the 5 for $19.99 is a very reasonable "chunk" to do that in.

[color=yellow]Very sound reasoning Lighthouse thank-you for letting us know so concisely the reasons against the larger packages. Though would a 10 slot package be too large for $29.99?

[ QUOTE ]
*cough* RIP OFF *cough* why spend money on slots when there are many servers to play on and other games give MANY more slots for free? just my opinion.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ya would you care to name said games &amp; just how much character custimization do they offer along with "ALL" their slots?? Just curious you know, cause I don't know of any offhand that are currently available that offer quite the same combination that CoX does.

IMHO I think what the Devs' have done is simply wonderful &amp; the fact that we're getting 2 slots as a bonus to place on the server(s) we wish along with retroactive VETs rewards. What would make it totally Gasmatic is if they do the "max your slots on 1 server for $84.99" idea or even impliment $34.99 for 12, $47.99 for 24 for those SERIOUS altoholics that really do luv their HOME Server(s). **starts handing out depends &amp; towels just incase they do**

[color=yellow]So those with legitamit concerns don't hesitate to contact Lighthouse. Read the fine print of not only the User Agreement, but the company whom they're partnering with. Cut &amp; paste all relevant sections (IN context I might add) that trigger those concerns. Then see how those concerns are delt with, with platitudes or thoughtful consideration. I have to be honest I've not come across Platitudes myself, slow responces on occation yes, but that's understandable.

Given how my hubby runs our systems (he's the household tech) if it causes serious problems he'll governmental wipe my comp, reload &amp; I guess I end up unsubscribing if turning the ads off doesn't stop the problem from reoccuring. Otherwize I'm not worrying since I at this time have no problems with them generating extra revenue by using pre-existing ingame billboards. Though I definately like them to leave some of the billboards alone since they tie into the ingame content, like the Aracnos &amp; Crey.

Man I soo loved DBL XP Weekend, I only had one delema- Which SG Gets the Luvin on which days of the weekend?!?

Well I sort of solved that delema, by keeping my sunday commitment on Infinity, while bouncing btwn red &amp; blue side on Guardian. I had some Awsome times , though burnout seemed to have hit my HG mates on Infinity by the time Sunday rolled around. You don't want to know the challenges I went through juggling RL demands with much desired DBL XP Goodiness, but I managed, even with the Baby trying to play my toons for me at the times when Mama's lap was the Only place she wanted to be, lol!

Now please pardon me while I try to scrub the last of the milk drool off of my poor keyboard. Uht ohh Slobber Bucket wants to play again!!

Pay extra for special costume or emotes, sry no thank-you.

New missions is way awsome, I was beginning to wonder what this year would entail, especially after the call went out for those whom met &amp; fell on love ingame.

Well I really do appriciate the toons lvl 10 &amp; under won't be able to send ingame e-mails at this time. Though I have to admit after the 1st 2 weeks of being able to use the /ignorespammer in conjunction with an actual petition for tells, along with /gignore + petition for e-mail spammers, I noticed a marked decrease in spam tells &amp; e-mails to the point where most of my toons have been spam free for over 2 weeks now. Mind you using the /gignore may not have actually stopped the e-mails, but it does give me a global handle that I can send in the petition, making it easier for CS to track those Spam accounts. The /gignore also works if the toon that was used to spam is logged off, making it easier to identify the actual account. If you have problems typing those random names like I do just use backspace for the auto reply if the spam was the last tell recieved. Then all you need to do is delete the text you don't need &amp; change /tell to /gignore.

Yes it was irritating like Hades to do that work, but if it helped to not only highlight the problem, but make it easier for the CS to actually be able to track the ClusterBucks down, I'm enough of a teneacious Bint to do so. I have to say I'm appriciative of what they have been able to do so far &amp; if not permitting toons under lvl 10 to be unable to send e-mails id what's going to work for now, I'm all for it! What few e-mails I send or recieve are usually technical info on binds or macros coding, otherwise I'm a Tel/Chat kind of gal.

[color=yellow]Thank-you Arachnion for posting the video to YouTube!! Much apriciated, let me tell you.

Well I've looked over the Weapon's custimization announcement/ feedback thred &amp; noticed post saying to post suggestions Here for ideas &amp; things we'd like to see in the Weapons custimization. Well I suggest adding horsebow (compact/ small wooden recurve) &amp; Compound bow (like what's show at the Blackmarket) along with the "confirmed" Compound &amp; original recurve in the archery sets. I LOVE the Shovel for the bludgeon weapon sets (I foresee too many of those coming out when i11 gots live, just for the Heck of it!), along with the flintlocks in the gun sets (What pirate wouldn't like the dual blades or flintlocks hey?). I'm just drooling over the weapony goodness!

Whoo hoo I'll be there Though with my Empath, though it'll be hard to discuise my "horny" gal. But she does have what I've called my undercover look compleat with an emote. But I'd have no clue how to discuise a Flaming Sphinx, especially since she's not one to hide her Divinely Corruptive self!

Ok one other way I found to fix the Trench coat inside color problem for those toons whom have unlocked their capes . . . make a cape 1st with the inside cape colors the color you want the trenchcoat to be. Otherwise we're all stuck doing the copy colors button to get the inside bottom of the trenchcoat the color we want if it isn't to begin with. I know a big pain atm, but it's an option.

**Hugz Da Cuppa Lady** We are going to miss you very much CuppaJo, Please pop in every now &amp; then &amp; Say hi on the boards!! It won't be the same without you!! They better treat ya well at Tabula Rasa(sp?) or I'll have to let the Ugly side of my GReen Gal lose on them.

This is the very 1st &amp; ONLY MMORPG I have ever played &amp; it took my husband 2 1/2 years to get me on. Now he can't get me off it!! That's an achievement since I never was much of a gamer even with standard pc games! I'll have to make a Cuppa character just for you!!

Best wishes &amp; ty for helping make this game so enjoyable. I may not post much, but that's because I'm buzy playing so often!

I'm sorry but if the lowsey heals in the hospital is the way it's supposted to be in Recluse's Victory, I have to say I'm dissapointed. Any where else we get full heals. Except of course in bases where they only have the basic medical teleporter untill Sg earns the prestige &amp; badge to build the improvements. I feel very strongly that Recluse's Victory should be the same as any other Standard hospital Teleport. If the developers are planning to make all hospitals like the ones in R.V. I'll be more then dissapointed. Debt is the most penalty we should get from death &amp; having to go to hospital.
