    I've gotten tired of building machines these days - I'm glad to pay for a computer which has got 3 years worth of support, not to mention portable (mostly - it weighs 6 kilos) and fairly impressive looking.
  2. I've just got myself one of these M17x's - it's expensive, but it's the finest gaming machine I've ever had.

    It's my way of being able to play the next gen of MMOs - I've specifically got Star Trek Online and TOR in mind for it. And since I can run Champions without a single problem (engine-wise anyway ) then it's proving its worth.
  3. Many thanks for ridding me of my underscore
  4. Pffft. Kids these days. (And that goes for the Stargate writers too!) The Centurions!
  5. Ah yes, PvP - that'll save this game.....

    *flees*
  6. I'd love to be able to return to Victory, where I started playing.

    There may be a server list merge at some point in the future, even if they're not planning for it yet.

    But right now, I'm still adding characters to our other EU server. If you offered me another 11 servers, I'd probably explode and that's too messy to think about.
  7. I've got several character concepts that I want to create (finally play that MA scrapper I keep rolling and deleting, not to mention the small thing about the Archery/TA Corruptor!)

    Ahem.

    But I'm playing my VEATS for now and I'm quite happy to level them for the moment.
  8. Was there a post about how those who gave legitimate feedback that was then not acted upon in any way, shape or form and then grumbled about it a bit, would be forever banished from Closed Beta?

    Just asking? *whistles*

    My lifelong dream - that thing freaked the crap out of me 30 years ago!

    (Or possibly 22 or so years ago when my little brother was watching it - see he ruined my memory too!)
  10. I never used Twitter until the forums went down. Now I enjoy them. I can read news or interesting tidbits about the game during the day and I've got a few friends that I can keep track of who do use it.

    Not as bad as I once thought.

    I'm still not going anywhere near Bebo, Myspace or Facebook though.
  11. Okay, that seems like a good idea.

    Sure, I can see a few complaints with it, but it'll suit me since I never farm or powerlevel and regularly team with two other people, usually at different level ranges.

    You mean we haven't already?

    Who knew?

    *slashes net with something blunt - not awkward, just determined*

    You're gonna need a bigger boat!
  15. Can I just welcome those N.A posters to the newly merged boards with the EU?

    I don't know why it's not obvious that happened to many of you, but it's clear for us EU posters that you lot got lumped in with us, not the other way around.

    Why else would we get our own special section?
  16. DARK ASTORIA FAULTLINE STYLE UPGRADE

    (Apologies for shouting, but I'd really like to see this!
  17. When I started the game, I rolled an Inv/SS Tanker (yeah, brimming over with originality I was back then).

    Looking at the power descriptions, I didn't want to take Unyielding, because it meant I'd be hit more.

    Took my very patient SG on Victory (are the Poisonous Pansies long since gone, or do any of you still play this game?) dragging me round the Terra Volta reactor after explaining in very polite terms how dumb I was to rectify that mistake.

    Thanks guys, for rescuing me from my own noobishness.

    Stop trying to Godwin the thread!

    Hello from a Scotsman in.... Scotland.

    Okay, that was less dramatic than I wanted. Just imagine someone crashed some symbols together when I typed it.

    As for GM response time, it's anywhere from a few hours, to your petition being automatically closed without even an automated email... In 4+ years of playing, I've NEVER had a GM get back to me in anything less than 3 days...
    That is just you - the last 3 times I've had to petition, I've had a response back in less than 10 minutes - at varying times of the day. Last one freaked the crap out of me, when a Carnie suddenly showed up in my Council mission.

    You will let NCSoft Godmod you! Yes, yes you will!

    Mwahahahahahahahaha!

    Perhaps the Kheldian leaders have issued a decree to all Kheldians that you must maintain your pure forms (Light/Purple) in order to maintain racial purity.

    Every Kheldian is terrified to disobey the decree from upon high on threat of death or forced separation.

    Gradually, as time goes on (and Kheldians get customisation), a resistance movement grows up against this decree and Kheldians start to protest against the incredibly wrong command.

    (Kheldian Civil War - coming in Issue 18!)

    You heard it here first! (And last, most likely)
  23. Perhaps a better reason for lack of Kheldian shading is simply that they don't have enough time before I16 and it'll come along at the same time as all the power pools are done.

    Sounds logical to me.
  24. I had to suppress a shudder this morning when I went into work and there was a sign in the Subway saying "Football is being played at Ibrox tonight...."

    Is that the summer break over already? I mean, seriously, it feels like it's just stopped. Why the hell does football get to only have a couple of weeks off per year and I have to wait 26 weeks to find out what the hell happened to Adama or find out if Eliza Dushku has had any acting lessons during the 39 week break? (I like Dollhouse, but the show would work just as well if she was replaced with a lump of wood, or if really desperate, Michael Caine)

    Talking about the incredibly boring sport of football (or any form of reality TV) is probably one sure way of keeping people out of the Lounge.
