Yes, VCR's created a bit of a stir with regards to copyright and piracy. Ultimately, though, it wasn't nearly the issue that we have now because there was no simple method of mass distribution until the internet came about. The proliferation of broadband has made it an even bigger issue.

It definitely was. After having gone to that M&G, I was really bummed that I wasn't able to make it to this year's PAX East. I expected it to be even better - I'm still bummed I didn't get to hang out with my friends that were there, but I'm no longer concerned about missing the M&G now that I've heard the stories.

That's a lot easier for you to say than for NCSoft to do. They cannot just ignore RMT. It's not an option. They have to put roadblocks up.

While you make good points, the fact is that the decision to not allow free players to form teams (as with trial account currently - and free accounts are basically just a new, improved version of trial accounts) is based on protecting the playerbase - all of them, not just VIP's.

If free accounts can form teams, then RMT people can freely advertise by making all the free accounts they want, form teams and then advertise to the team.

Veteran players of this game and other MMO's would know better, and ignore or (better yet) report them. But the philosophy behind spam is that if you throw enough... pancakes... at the wall, some of it will stick. And it will. Newbies and others who know no better will get suckered in and then they have put their accounts and their identities at risk. RMT sites are not just a harmless annoyance, they are a very real concern. NCSoft is not going to give those folks the tools to run rampant to do as they please. This is the same reason free account will not be able to send tells, or talk in broadcast or global channels, or join an SG, and so on. If it weren't for RMT, I am sure that free account would have no restrictions on communication or teaming (signature story arcs aside). But as long as RMT is around, that's the way it has to be.

Whatever it is, it stinks.

This. Definitely Fire/Rad. Here's a link to my Fire/Rad's build:

She has soloed Kraken, Three Paladins (at once), Scrapyard, Adamastor, Jurassik, Jack and Eochai (while they were frighting each other), Babbage, and tons of AV's. I'm going after the Recluse's Victory signatures next...

No. It would be 2 plus the 2 you got for buying GR (if you did), plus one for each year of you subscribed time, plus one for each one you bought in the store, before or after Freedom launch.

I admit, I mentioned Longbow Chasers because they are the only thing you can ever fight that flies.

Hmm? What? Sorry didn't catch that... I had to jump up there and kill that Longbow Chaser...

If you have less than someone else, then it is because they have been paying their monthly fee longer, and therefore have spent more money. So you're not going to have to pay more than they pay to get what they have - in fact, you'll be paying less than they have because you're going to catch up to them a lot faster under this new system than you would have under the current system.

Why not? We're getting Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots really soon....

Ah, that's why I was able to get around 300,000 for one I listed at 1inf. Thanks.

If you actually CAN work any of those in, I will be suitably impressed, and grateful! Most of it, though, I just don't see as being possible when you're pulling info from the client and not the server(s).

I use Titan Sentinel and City Info Tracker and I love them, and really appreciate all the work you guys put into those and other Titan Network applications (especially Mids, I can't live without Mids).

However, Sentinel/Info Tracker has some limitations that can't be overcome by a non-licensed third party application. It can't track anything that happens when I'm not running the app - which means it can't track anything that happens if I log onto my account from multiple computers unless they all have the app installed.

It can't differentiate between characters on my two accounts. It can't tell me what salvage/recipes I have on which toons, or how far along on my Incarnate powers I am, or what my current prestige ranking in my SG is. It can't tell me if any of my bids have filled or items listed have sold. It can't show all my current costumes. It can't tell me what's in my email inbox, or my certifications and vouchers. And on and on.

All of these are things I'd like to see in a City Vault webpage, and for that to happen it really has to be NCSoft that develops it.

We don't know exactly. But Double XP Weekend was postponed because an issue had been identified - presumably we did not experience the problem because it was directly related to the double xp script. So they patched something behind the scenes to fix it.
