MrCaptainMan

Ive been thinking a lot about this today, and though it still pisses me off to have to buy the game again, I guess I will. I do like meeting yanks and Canadians and other forn types whilst in Paragon City, and have started to meet some of them regularly, but there you go - NCSoft arent going to listen to any of us because we're probably a tiny proportion of their US customer base and theres a whole load more new UK (and french yada yada) customers out there who dont know and wont know what we're moaning about.

I will buy the game again.

However, I am aghast at the thought of buying it again, installing it, starting it up and creating MrCaptainMan again only to be told at the Enter Your Heroes Name bit that someone has already chosen it!

Imagine, all you Brits oposting here who are thinking of buying the UK version and recreating your heroes on the British servers. Imagine if your beloved heroes moniker has been grabbed by some snot-nosed kid from Cardiff before you get a chance to use it again.

Bridger, theres another question Id like answered (btw, your name makes me wince everytime I type it without 'Mr' in front - I cant help but think of you as Noel Coward) - I purchased my current CoH version online, downloaDED the client , bought the cd key, all from NCSofts site at PlayNC. I live in Poland, y'see.

When the UK version comes out, I'll still be living in Poland. Is there going to be a Polish releease? If so, which language and server will it be in/on? If not, can I download the UK version from anywhere? And if so, can you tell me when?

Hi.

I live in Poland, but Im from the UK. Ive been playing CoH for about 2 weeks now, and Ive got a lvl 10 blaster. I downloaded the client and bought the CD key from Ncsoft. Id really like to be able to play more with people from my own timezone, but the thought of starting from scratch with a new char if he is at a fairly high level in Feb (and, maybe more importantly :P, possibly losing his name to someone else who chooses it beforr I can on the new server) leaves me a bit glum to tell the truth.
Can you tell me, Bridger, when the results of this 'looking into' char transfer be available? Id like to know before mid December, which is when my current subscription auto-renews. If Char transfer is NOT going to be possible, then theres no point in me playing with any degree of seriousness until Feb. I might as well cancel my sub now and wait till Feb. Half Life 2's out soon, that and my backlog of bought but unplayed FPSs should see me through till then.

Being forced to pay again for this game if I want to play it with fellow Brits makes me grimace slightly, but I would be very disappointed if char transfer wasnt possible.
At the very least, retainment of hero names should be possible for us subscribers who have created heroes on the US servers and want to see their heroes continue in some form at least on the European ones.
