A step farther would be to be able to pick and choose characters from your own account to go with you on the TF, instead of dummies...

I changed my password as well.

It didn't work right away for me, and I sent a trouble ticket to support.

Not sure if that fixed it, or support did, but an hour later I was able to log in.

Same here, kept getting the you have quit your team message when I didn't.
And -- Error map not found message.

I was on a 50 +1 tier 4 alpha/cardiac blaster with Rogue aligment in the RWZ.

Mags.

Good luck, Castle.

Thanks for all your hard work.

I have that bug right now with my thugs MM. I even logged out and came back and they are still stuck. Guess I'll try logging out for a longer time.

Way earlier in the day, I petittioned the matter.
A few hours later I got an E-mail from NC support wanting to know technical details and they sent me that diagnostic program.
I ran it and sent them the results.
It's been over 6 hours since then. And haven't gotten any response yet.
I attempted logging in just now a character that wouldn't at all earlier, and I got in for 30 seconds and got maspserved, and now it's back to not letting me in.
This is the middle of my vacation, was planning on playing with my friends, but that ain't happening.
This is very frustrating.

I wonder if the ip address to guardian PI and Galaxy shard, is different than the IP address of Kings Row, Talos, Founders, Grandville, and sharkhead? I can log into PI and Galaxy for some reason.
A step further in this reasoning is I wonder if Cox is blocking that IP address.

I'm in the same boat with both my accounts, and I have cox communications in Tulsa OK.

Sometimes you have to go out into the world and see whats out there.
Home will always be home and I will come back one day....

It's time for me to go now, though. Been here since before the start
Been very quiet lately.

Was doing an Oro mish with malta. Fought two titans to get them to combine into a boss (I love that) and this level 53 boss handed me a numia +rec/+reg.
I was sooo happy..

Last night it got really bad for me as well.
Playing on Guardian, I'm in Oklahoma and have Cox communications.
Was on vent talking to a friend in Houston and one near L.A.
vent had no trouble, and neither did the friends. - they were on my team as well on Guardian.

Several years ago I was playing Final Fantasy VII on my PS1.
I had played it nearly to the end of the game. A friend came over and showed me how to cheat to get past the final boss.
I did so. And it ruined the game for me. All the hard work I put into that game was gone in minutes.

That friends brother attempted to get me to help him power level one of his lower level characters in COH. Now being good friends with them both I wanted to help out but having my level 17 charater be level 24 in the morning was not my idea of fun. He understood my refusal although I think it bugged him that I didn't help out.

I did not wish COH to turn into FF7 for me.
That was almost two months ago. My character is level 30 now and I'm very happy with her. I mostly solo and I'll get to level 50 when I get there. I love team action, but work an odd hour job so I dont get to play with others that often.

On both sides of this argument each side thinks they are morally correct. Before reading all the posts I probably wouldn't have given much thought to the question. I would have said its cheating pure and simple.
But after reading the posts I can see the points being made.
And coming down to what their personal definition of Power Leveling is.

The one thing I read over and over was that the PL'ers were calling the people who didn't do it jealous or envious.
That couldn't be farther from my own thoughts. If anything as the player I am, I may feel sad that those quickly leveled
characters are losing the actually game play experience.

What I'm seeing is that there are two factions and both don't want something taken away from them.
The PL'ers don't want the ability to do what they are doing taken away. And the others dont want the game to change affecting themselves because PL'ers were playing the game differently that the coders intended.

My friend the PL'er has been bored with the game for at least a month and a half now. He's been sticking around for the repec missions to redo some of his high level characters.
Then he'll probably quit the game after a month or so.
I'm in it for the long duration. I love seeing the new updates and am looking forward to badges, and auras, kudos to the devs.
One day my job might change to where I might have better hours and I can team more. There are so many things I haven't done that I can see many more hours of enjoyment coming.
I believe I am playing the game the way the people that wrote it intended. And I'm have a hell of a lot of fun.
Do PL'ers have fun? Yes they get the new stuff and fancy powers, ect. But how long does it take to get bored of them and wish for more stuff when there is none left?

What I'm saying is let the PL'ers do their thing. They will probably get bored with it and leave.
The rest of us can continue enjoying the game, in no way envious of those PL'ers that left the game -- missing out on all the cool missions and fighting mobs while taking risks, and using new powers earned in teams or soloing.

If PL'ers are the type to get bored then pretty quickly they will no longer enjoy the game and get tired of paying for it and leave.

Have Fun
