I was pointing out the hyperbole tied to his premise by accepting the premise but pointing out that it couldn't possibly be accurate based on the fact it's been so long since the last time the script was run. I KNOW what he said doesn't make sense because the name was never actually free. That's wasn't the point I was getting at. You had covered it more than adequately. We both agree the premise is moot. I was simply pointing out the ridiculousness of the language used.

I read it. Thus my use of the word "if" it probably should have been "even if"

Not to be unsympathetic, but if someone managed to snag the name in between the time the last time the script was run and now, your attempts to get it couldn't have been that desperate.

Besides, a 30 second Google search shows me that name belongs to a Marvel character (albeit a minor one). If you ever did get it, you wouldn't keep it, the only reason it isn't on the list of names locked out due to copyright, is it is on an inactive character that hasn't been used since before they started the list.

Edit- Hell, another Google search shows me you're lucky to have Captain Midnight not taken from you. Even for names tied to very old characters, they tend to err on the side of caution.

I think, if I were having trouble summoning interest in playing because of a great big set of byzantine rules I'd set up for my characters, my eureka moment wouldn't be that I'd been doing it on the "wrong" servers.

There's lots of ways to get company to play with you on low pop servers. Deleting all characters there and moving to a high pop one and hoping for the best probably is the least effective.

I was pleased to see Mask of the Phantasm on the list. I don't care where they got the story, or what other story so and so wanted to make, since when you get down to it, more than half the movies made have issues like that. Mask had a much more consistent plot and tone than most live action supermovies I've seen, and I still feel the early years of Batman the Animated Series (culminating in Mask) have some of the best style and art design of any modern American cartoon series.

I wasn't pleased to see so many sequels on the list, particularly since in most of those cases they were weaker films than the originals. Saying Spider Man 2 was better than Spider Man? Just weird.

I don't particularly need them resorted, but I'd be much happier if that right side were made of collapsible sections that you could shift the display order of at your choosing.

In a country where we have troops deployed across the globe in several engagements, and a game where a significant number of our players are active or reserve military, I find the arbitrary 3 month deadline to be incredibly selfish and inconsiderate.

You're all operating under the presumption that the devs haven't run the script because they're lazy or forgetful, and that people who stop playing are doing it for simply personal reasons. There's people in America displaced by disaster or deployment or unemployment for years before they get back in a stable situation with enough free time to warrant a subscription. Just because we're lucky enough to be able to pay and play doesn't mean we love the game more than them and automatically deserve preference.

Yes paying customers do deserve more than nonpaying. But trying to make that case while casting the people who can't play in a less favorable light doesn't make your point. It just makes it seem selfish.

Figure out the average length of deployment. Add two months. That's a much more reasonable number for running the name script than 4 times a year.

Welcome to the world of computer software. When we fire up certain programs, we expect certain things. Word Processors have spellcheck and style controls. Spreadsheets have standard calculation formulae. 1st person shooters have a variety of weapons, maps and multiplayer options. MMOs have a mix of PvE, PvP, and the requisite tools in place so players can find, communicate, and interact with each other.

I'm having a hard time seeing exactly what your issue is, unless you're saying the learning curve is too steep? To that I say, in every MMO I've tried, they never dump everything on you at level 1 unless they make clear what topics are advanced and what are basic, and give you the option to put things off until later when you're ready to learn them.

I wouldn't claim every building made of bricks is the same just because they all have bricks, and I don't see how you can say all MMOs are the same because most of them use common tools. It's how those tools are applied and intermingled that makes a good game.

Oh yeah, water is wet too.

This is why all his robots are programmed to like pie.

Not without a second bind/macro to tell it to do that.

In order to do something like that on a single key/button you'd need to get creative with bindfiles

This is a game where people spend 90% or more of their time in instances. Without you explaining how you look for people, we can't tell you why it seems dead.

I ran 2 treespecs back to back with nearly entirely different groups of people last night around 1am. and no, I don't play on Freedom.

Stupid long old school MoG, I dunno about recharge, we've always been able to kill her when it goes down. But she is one of the ones being capped, so its possible we will be able to kill her during MoG, even if we mess up the escape we've been using.
