According to Kheldarn in the other thread it's free for VIP.

Not unless they intend to "move on" to someplace other than the industry; utterly destroying your own MMO like that is not the sort of thing that makes for good advertising, or looks good on a resume. This is like a construction company blowing up the skyscraper they just built; whether it was incompetence ("so that's where the dynamite was!") or malice, it looks good nether way.

Real German Shepards have better graphics and animations. They're even fully 3-D!

I believe so, little glowy spots here and there.

Has there been any official word that a new Dom set will be announced then? They've been reluctant to say anything at all on the subject.

I always had the impression that the delay and the one-item-per-email limit were deliberate design decisions, meant to hamper RMTers. But yeah it's irritating, especially when trying to do something like mail 50 Candy Canes to an alt. One at a time, 15 seconds apart.

I'm sure the devs are under orders not to mention it, but I agree with the theory that it was probably the decision of some clueless Marketing type who insisted that the update had to be released on that specific date. I can even guess as to why they wanted it released on that specific date (but don't think I'm allowed to be specific).

It wasn't impossible to do. It just put a major strain on the servers when you did.

Actually, I understand the reason is that they'll just hang around if they don't die. And in Beta I'm told they went hostile and attacked players.

As I understand it, when you zone they aren't really following you in the first place; they are being auto-resummoned when you appear in the new zone/instance.

Something appropriate I ran across:

Well, Zwillinger was asking for confirmation of it which does imply it wasn't intended. And for the record I hate the idea.

The German Shepard Pet is on the Beta server.

There's a thread in the Technical Issues and Bugs forum; a fair number of people have been having the problem including me. Updating my driver helped but didn't fully eliminate the problem.

In an animal summoning mastermind, say.

Well, if that's so then why do the CoX boards alone of all the vBulletin boards I've seen have this problem?

Well, apparently it can be colored, so the theme would change with the color.

Brown or yellow? Running though fallen leaves.

Green? Mystic fertility aura.

Blue or purple? Vile fungoid growth!

"Look! It's the new Puppy Assault set."

Nor am I. However, I am expecting many or all of the other ATs to be given even more new power sets while Doms are stuck waiting for one. Forget "months"; its already been over a year, a year in which everyone else was given multiple new sets. Even if Doms were given a new set tomorrow, they'd still be far behind. At this point I have serious doubts that there ever was anything new in particular planned for Doms, it seems more likely they just tossed out that line to placate people who were disappointed at Doms being left out.

No they aren't, that's been debunked repeatedly.

And a lack of secondary effect & utility powers. No mezz, no debuffs; just gobs of damage.
