Sounds like a fun contest.

Great to hear that it got fixed. Welcome to the EU servers, I wish you lots of fun with your friends and new ones.

Gratulations to the winners and thank you Caemgen for holding the competition.

Think it is time to guess again.
Now which number could it be.. I wonder.
Lets see what is behind door nr ... 66?

Gratulations Vex
Right, time to guess.
aaand I guess: 99

I pick thee number 34.

Well the only thing we need to merge really is Server lists, but that is the only thing!

That was sad reading.
You've done what you could to join us via the right channels. Only thing I can add is maybe send a tell to Avatea or Mod8.
Even if this is not up their alley, maybe they can get you another way to tell the Billing department that "This is not a fraud, i've paid Ncsoft NA side with this since 2008, could you please allow this card to pay for Eu service?"...

I hope you get to play with your friends, have fun get that sad face turned into a smile.
*crosses fingers*

Right, got a few helpers to various things.

As said I've secured the sg/vg names on Union and Defiant.
A few players have already agreed and an alt to help with recruitment to these sg's (as fast as possible) they are (Beside me)
Defiant hero: Mega Jamie, Mr Mac. , Dante
Defiant Villain: Mega Jamie, Mr Mac. , Dante
Union Hero: Mega Jamie, Mr Mac. , Dante, Damz, Orion Star
Union Villain: Mega Jamie, Mr Mac. , Dante, Orion Star

Still unsure about our French and German brothers and sisters, I hope we will see them joining with us as well.

Hopefully we will get more players in as both recruiters and members.

Advertising
Do feel free to advertise about the channel and the sg project, however please get the operators blessing before you advertise in the channel they mod on.
(Like showing them what you want to say.)

Networking on the forum
Orion Star has volenteered to make a social group on the forum. Where we can discuss things like...

More about sg policy, eventual rules (more input is always wise), Sg colors, Base theme, (When it is time) Architects, eventual webpage should we need more then a forum... etc..
Some of the above thoughts may not be needed, some would be needed and some are not needed in a while.

Lets have fun everyone

Right, from what I have seen, (very quick info-gathering) there is a preference of European Confederation and European Syndicate.

Also from those who replied it was most important to have 4 sg's on 2 servers.

I thus grabbed the names on both Union and Defiant. (With some low lvl oooold characters)
So when you want to be invited to the SG, start posting here or give me a global tell in-game.

Things yet to do:
Get a few people with OP Status in the Global channel.
Get a few people with recruitment status in each of the 4 groups.

Things we all can do:
Ponder and decide on what kind of supergroup Emblem we shall have.
Ponder and decide what SG colors Hero and Villain side shall have. (Currently it is all black since I was in a rush to get the names)

We had a little discussion on the channel and so far though we have come to this:
We have the option of TWO ideas; 4 SG's on 2 servers or 2 SG's on 2 Servers:
4 Sg's on 2 servers:
It might be good to create 1 hero and one 1 villain sg on each of the english servers. That means 4 in total.
The Pro: Sg when switching alignment etc prestige would be "kept in the family". As its just to quit the former sg and join the counterpart.
No matter what side you favor you will thus have a base.

The Con: I have a feeling we will still keep playing on our "home" server. Creating 2 hero sg's and 2 villain sg's will seperate the playerbase from the start. Thus defeating in my opinion the community idea, as the only community would be the the Channel.

I myself see the Con as the biggest issue with this idea. It do not contribute that well with the community making vision. There will be 4 sg's, but various progress on each SG, and a heck of a lot to administrate over.
(It is the Vinnie the Poh approach though)


The other solution is that One server takes our villain character(s) and one server takes our Heroe(s).
Pro: More activity in both SG's. More interaction between the players from different servers.
Con: Makes things hard If your going to shift your alignment later (no secondary home)

The Important question though is; HOW much side switching do you tend to do with these characters anyway? If you intend to do it a lot, then the 4 sg/2server idea is the best. If you do not intend to do it that much, then the 2 SG/2Server idea would be best.

I'm going to leave that up to you guys. We still have time before the launch and it will take 1 or 2 days to get out of Praetoria.
(I fear you have left most of the decision making in my hands, so before I do anything rash... Answer quickly:

-------------------------------

SORT OF A POLL HERE:
Please answer the following: Do you prefer the 4 SG/2Server idea or the 2SG/2Server idea?
I would prefer 2 SG/2 Server idea.

List the 4 Top names you like for SG's. The two best for Hero and the Two best for Villain:
Hero: European Confederation
The Chosen FEU
Villain: European Syndicate
Negative Reputation
If you are mostly in favor of the 2sg/2server idea: Which English speaking server should host Villain and which should host Hero?

As I make the poll, I'll leave that up to you. I got no special preference (But you got to say which).
----------------------------------------

Best way to advertise would be at launch of GR announce the channel and project in broadcast in Nova.

Mention the project and channel also in Union chat and its counterpart on Defiant.

I'm sure Damz will alert our Vigilance brothers and sisters, but who will tell our Zukunft part of the family?

Unless we get the go-ahead of any of the Op's in the channel, do not advertise "out of the blue" in that channel.

On the How:
Channel is for all 4 servers, in an effort to bring us all closer together. We plan to make bases atleast on union and defiant and making it together.
You do not have to leave your current SGs (that would be a SHAME and unacceptable).
Sg'wise it will be for everyone. That means roleplayers are welcome, casual gamers are welcome, powergamers are welcome, badgers are welcome... in short everyone. (As long as they are not rude, obnoxcious etc... you know the kind that you don't want in your sg anyway.)
Language-wise, all are welcome. Etc

That will be up to the players, really.
As I envision it though it will act as a "private"/additional SG channel for the project. One way to get hold of all the players in the sg-project.
Pity though with no praetorians being able to join an active sg. Oh well.

The channel could be used to get a team going (specially at launch), discuss various things: Like future of the channel, general talk of anything, advice etc.

I have to get a few OP's for the channel.

The more people in the channel great, cause then we have a big userbase, but I'm not planning to make this an alternative channel (and compete) with already established channels and thus "compete".
I imagine when we get up and running the base could even be used as a global CoP base etc, atleast on that side.

...

For Servers and launch:
Lets us create some characters on both Union and Defiant for now.

I suggest Heroes for Union and villains for Defiant? But I'm game for switching it.

Thanks for a job well done on Mids St0n3y.
Hope you now will enjoy the game, relax, take some time off for personal things. Wish you well and thank you for the issue 18 Mids.
Yes, I do not know how many hours I've been using the program to make builds, on chars yet created.

And there in lied my problem. (I was too literal)
I got to pay more attention, I'll be quiet now.

My thought too Snow (no list of their own of defeat badges etc). *phew* thanks.
And thanks for clearing up the Agent of... question I had.

Don't know if its needed or wanted, but the reasons I had a little confusion, is due to the off-line excel sheet I have.
In it I start with the overview of 12 heroes (with a button you click and you get the same page, but designed for 12 villains).
Each category has a main page, like Exploration & history, Accomplishments etc.
The Left row and downwards, has the badge names. The horizontal row rightwards has the names of all the characters in the first page.

I did think that it would be neat to have a button on the first page with "mark it with Hero, villain or Praetorian" so that badge names on the Leftwards and down bar where changed to the Hero/villain/ eventual Praetorian names.
I discarded to put this idea on my sheet cause I like to when a badge hunt is announced in a channel, quickly click on my sheet and see which char do not have the badge. The Idea would have made it so that I would have had to go through several characters in a lot of more clicking to find one character that did not have it.
So I simply settled with putting both names in the cell or adding it to the description of the badge name.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I look forward to how the badge trackers will fix badge tracking, from start point. But maybe that is easier to do with the tools the badge trackers has instead of off-line excel?

Hope any eventual confusion I might have given will be cleared up. Thanks for the clarifications Snow.

Got a few questions about a few badge(types).
Gladiators, can every player now get every gladiator or will the either/or system be applied to them as well.
f.ex: At lvl 10 you get as a villain "Wolf spider Enforcer" as Hero you get "Nebula Elite Buckshot". If you switch sides from Hero to villain, will you now have Wolf spider instead of Nebula or will you now have both gladiators, even when you change back to hero?

The "Judge and Jury" & "Merciless" -alignment badges.
Are they mutually exclusive or is it possible to get both?

Milk is milk.
Why did I get a mental image of Feral Kat going down on all four and licking the spills?

umm Miow?

Thought as much, when I first saw that badge name... (urk).

Will be fun seeing the complete list, and how you deal with the Praetorian/Hero, Praetorian/villain bit, as well as the Hero/Villain badges.

Can only imagine the frustration/job it is on the webpage (Adding badges, alternate names etc) after updating my little excel sheet.
(primitive, not in the league as the master badge list)

Don't think so.. Kat doesn't seem to cry, rather enjoy it.

Nicely done on the colors on the Milk image.

Second thought appeared (sorry). Why where the fridge filled with so little milk? It was filled with so many other things? Poor Feral Kat.. no wonder she enjoyed her milk that much.

Ah.. nostalgia, so many things I remember... and somethings I don't (cause I was not playing at the earliest).
Thanks for your moments.

Weird thing is that I do remember playing the game, teaming with an Ar/Dev blaster as a fire/frost blaster. He was kind, and it was awesome how he would simply go invisible and start peppering things...
He showed me where the magic shop was (There is a magic shop?)...
There are maps? (vidiotmaps horray)
All I could say was thank you.

How about Doing the Numina task force and having to wait for nighttime in faultline to hunt them Vazhiloks?
And a talking about Faultline. I remember hovering over lots of Vazhilok in big, big groups (I was a single blaster darnit) and Fire Rain (and lots of other fire stuff from above).

Welcome back Mother

Read the Title of the thread.

Sorry, I should have been more clear about it in the first post.

The Channel name is simply "Europe United"
/chan_join "Europe United"

Open for all that can and want to join.

Yup.. completely.



.. NOT.

Spelling errors (worse then mine) even in link. Tisk tisk.
