  1. Virtue and Justice are both pretty good. Freedom isn't quite that bad either - as a member of RO, I play on all three; both sides as well.

    Either I'm missing something or AE xp is half of normal.
    Two things:

    Did the AE missions have those groups in full groups? minions/lts/bosses (even if downgraded to lts)?

    Also, don't 5th and Arachnos have bonus XP?

    If "weird characters" was the only need, you would enough to make them let us use them

While both are alternate versions of Prime Earth they are so diverged from use, ether by method of creation or their history, that you would not find similar worlds.

    That being the case there is only 1 source of Rikti and only 1 Rularuu. If Praetorian Earth has any connection to them or not is probably the biggest question.
    I know Nemesis has accessed the shard, but I don't recall Rex having accessed it.

    Although if your going for the invisible stuff with the bubbles you will not be able to accomplish that using the color text tool as it is now.
    Actually, the fact they gave us the slider has nothing to do with the inability to bind the colored bubbles. A change made to prevent possible hacking (introduced with being able to hot-link the powers and items in chat, as I recall) causes binds to store "<" and ">" as their &code equivalents. When the system processes them, they still show up as < and >, but not before the point where the code would be processed to re-color the chat bubbles.

    However, in the past, Customer Service has been able to make an EU account an NA or vice versa, although the method used closes/seals off the original and starts a new one, and is only done for relatively new accounts.

    Exploiter: someone who doesn't obey the risk versus reward when they repeat content.

    as for paying to use the AE, we already do. it is our sub fees. and if you want to argue that then, i think you should have to pay extra per month everytime someone says the word "the".
    "Normal" farmers min/max the RvR... sometimes it gets to be too much and it is nerfed. When that happens, though, they tend to look at trends first.

    The other AE nerfs were due to EXPLOITS, though, which when farmed go way out of bounds for the RvR forumula.

    DSL vs cable?

Also I noticed tonight that movement from npcs and vehicles was very choppy but I switched back to cable (haven't had it disconnected yet obviously) and noticed the same thing. Thoughts?
    I'm going with cable, soon, but that's because locally my friend has had a great time with it, but we've had issues with DSL (we were told we would have to wait for them to fix our line [Phone/DSL] because of some bull. Apparently, we were able to pull the "Aging Grandparent" card and get them out sooner. Turns out, it wasn't us, they put us on a dying circuit..) but we had Qwest. Also our modem d/c's and reconnects whenever we get a call in, most likely due to a phone wire issue that's on our end.

    Seriously, shop around via the people you know and ask what their experience with their connection is.

    But the Restraining Order DOES argue against that... Is Arcana Hari Seldon, perhaps?

    Apparently before the final confirmation is an option to use the token - if you are paranoid about accidentally spending cash, I recommend going into your plaync.com master account, and removing the card on file first.

    Winter's Gift

    Additionally, (If I remember correctly) auto powers like swift and hurdle are denied ANY travel set categories, because of their interaction with the stealth IOs. When IO's were first released, you could slot the respective movement sets in swift and hurtle. but that was later removed.
    Yeah, because they couldn't quite get the -Stealth to work, and if a steal IO is in an auto power, it's perma.

    Swift and them are probably still left out in case they want to add a Stealth IO Universal Set.

    Big thing to note, however. The damage bonus for being in Nova is a regular, normal, Damage buff, and is affected by the cap for damage buffs (200% 1-20, 400% 21-50 for Khelds. First 100% is base damage)

    If it was a true damage mod, it would not count against the cap.

    Actually, as described here, it's harassment/griefing, and very much something the GMs cared about. Sounds like the person even chagned characters because it was a better griefing tool? That verges on stalking... Trust me, the GMs know their job is more secure the more people enjoy their time here.

    If over level five, you would need to /petition (from only ONE of the characters) and see if CS can help you.

    Just FYI, I hear he is in touch with the FBI's witness protection program people, something about "abusive significant other"???

    One thing I've noticed, is relationships made through online, when they get to the boyfriend/girlfriend level, tend to last (if they make it past the general internet psycho determination period.)

    By name, Aggie means the name of the bonus as it shows up in the Combat Attributes window - the set bonus granted by the Luck of the Gambler Global Recharge IO has a different name than the 7.5% normal set bonus, so you can stack both five times for a total of 75%, for example.

    Also, my website has the PDF from the presentation, and lots of useful info on demo editing.

    Other great resource is the Paragon Wiki, which has info on demo files, demo editing, lotsa links, and explanations and stuff.

    No auto power accepts any form of travel set, universal or specific type.
    Not only that, it gives nice set bonuses. Yes, you would have to invest in Slots, but not powers.
