    Massive Thanks

    Hey guys,

    I just wanted to say thanks. I don't let the kids play on Freedom. I need the slots and it is hard to supervise them. So when they play they usually come to this server. My seven year old son just found out about RV the other day and thinks it is fun to go there and smash turrets.

    Today I was working while he was running around and saw that he was engaging other players on my tank Tombstone. I think he got some rep and some got rep from him but he was giggling the entire time. Once in a while I would hear him yelling "OMG, where is the base!" while laughing his butt off.

    I just wanted to say thanks, if they read this, to those that were there as he was having a blast. I finished work, opened a brew and logged onto my wifes account to watch the fun.

    Nice server you have here. I might have to stop on over more.

Its tedious but you don't need any specific build, no influence, no IO's, no risk involved just two separate characters logged in at the same time.

    I have been doing this lately. Working pretty well for me lately.

    I just don't know.

    Snow what if

    Having lived in Phoenix for so long I had forgotten about that particular weather phenomenon.

    I'm only willing to try because you totally are on my "get extra Christmas cookies" list, Ironblade.

    Edit: Grammar is hard.
    Tea,

    Based on Le Blanc's post I am guessing it was a three word name. First word is a synonym for an inn with the first three letters in caps. Second word is a marine organism from the class Anthozoa with the first letter in lower case and the last word is a county in southeastern England on the North Sea and the Thames estuary with the last three letters in caps.

    Hope that doesn't get mod smacked.
  9. I made the mistake of moving the wrong character off my home server. Moving back was easy enough but I was the owner of my SG. I came right back to find a player that I dont know well now has control. I lowered the time to demote leaders to one day in hopes that I can get it back. The other player does not log on that often so I am crossing my fingers that the tell I sent went through or his auto demotion kicks in and restores me to owner.

    The other transfers went well though.

    This. Never failed it because of that but I have seen two teams working on WL and when the Guardian comes out there will be 5 of us fighting him while the rest are still pounding away at WL.

    I could see how on a smaller group how not having everyone on the same page causing the failure.
  11. Forgot that I had SS/SJ on my secondary build on my Shade. Switched builds and SS+CJ and I had Silver and then Gold in 3 runs. First run I fell off the sled run trying to adjust to the controls.

    Thanks for the reminder, I don't think I would have gotten it without doing that. Or it would have taken me longer than I wanted it to.

    I know I transferred a few old characters from my old server using this due to the higher population, and pvp. Do you think a lot of people will come?
    I will probably transfer one character away permanently as I don't let me kids play on the Freedom Server. This will allow me to move a toon to a server they play on.
  14. Nice way to start off the holidays. Congratulations.

    Many Thanks

    Guess I should throw my hat into the ring. I don't really play the market, I just sell what I find that I don't need. With that said, I made my first billion yesterday.

    I just follow what I have found in these threads. I am gonna see how long it takes to hit the cap from here.

    Thanks again.


    Edit: Larger view, Deviant scaled it down a bit far.

    If this isn't the place is there a forums for that sort of thing now?

    *Edit* or should this perhaps go in the Tech Support forum?
    Scroll up to the Tech Issues part of the forums. Those guys have the knowledge to point you in the proper direction.
  19. KK and I will be at the house of mouse so you kids have fun. We will catch up the following week.

    to think so, and not want to pay for it. That's called having an appreciation that money

    A) does not grow on trees.
    B) has value.
    And C) will not be handed to you by mommy and daddy all of your life.

    "It's only $10, don't be so cheap even though you clearly don't find it worthwhile!" is
    an incredibly frivolous and wasteful outlook, that really only leads to being taken
    advantage of.
    I have been sitting here for a bit trying to formulate how I want to respond to this. It is often hard for me to put exactly what I am thinking into the proper words and get my thoughts across. I agree with you given the context to the statement you were replying to. But, in my opinion, the right answer isn't as cut and dry for each individual.

    For me I can accept being out the $10 in this case. Any place that I frequent regularly, this game for one, I do so for the overall quality and service of the products I am there for. If, out of all the times I visit, I get poor quality or service once or twice from something new I want to try at that place then I can accept that. I am not going to like everything they have.

    Will I express my dissatisfaction? You bet I will. But I have enough respect for those places that I go to all the time to pull the manager aside and not air my dirty laundry in front of the entire establishment. If the issue were severe enough, I would then take my money elsewhere should the management not be able to resolve the problem.

    For me, three years of fun beats one booster pack that I don't like and I wouldn't blink at not seeing that $10 again. Again, my opinion. I don't expect others to see things as I do.

    FWIW, I am enjoying the heck out of this booster.

    For fun;

    A) True, it grows out of the ground. Well, about 75% of it does.
    B) True, if it didn't then people wouldn't take it as payment for things.
    C) Maybe, depends on the size of your inheritance.

    I've searched the forums for a redname post that addresses this and I can't find anything.

    I think this was the post, but I didn't do a thorough search.
  22. Werner,

    I used to live a couple blocks from the A&M campus.

    OP,

    Dont drink coffee, but I do drink 6 24oz diet Rockstar drinks a day.

    I stand by my statements. It's not that fast. It doesn't jump that high. It's not a replacement for a real travel power. It's a toy.
    My toy at level 32 has a faster jump speed than SJ's base speed at level 50. My toy is my travel power and I have yet to get a complaint. Doesn't work on master runs? Doesn't matter, not my cup of tea with this character.

    Is it good enough for the OP? That's for the OP to decide but we can at least provide them with enough information to make an informed decision.
  25. Typical setup for my shade with trays 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8 showing. 5 and 6 tied to the macros. Otherwise my setup looks like this.
