    Not sure if they did them in order, but they did try to hit each instance. I had a friend in a higher instance get the pack.

    That's the voucher.

    The certificate thing might be a side effect of the fact that currently, there is no way for an /ingame/ unlock to affect the entire account.

    beta/test server

    And it still requires separate clients unless you like to have to keep patching between versions.

    In the launcher there is a way to make it add a beta server install.
  4. Long story short, /unbind is the command you want

    Anarchist? Not necessarily. Extreme Darwinist? Established fact.

    beta/test server

    There are three severs (or server groups, rather) players can deal with.

    First is live.

    Then there is test - aka "The Training Room" - needs a separate client

    and then there is "Beta" - a third client is needed for this.

    Are you on an EU account? Last I heard the system still hadn't be changed to allow EU accounts to copy from Live-to-Test.

So, for todays particular downtime you are looking for an $0.08 proration to your sub. Across the entire month of May with all the varied large downtimes we've had, we might be looking at a $1 proration.

    Honestly for me, the playtime is more important than that actual amount of money. I think May has also been an abnormal month in terms of downtimes.
    Also, think about it - if they did it for anyone they would have to for EVERYONE else. So very little gain for the players, but a pain and a noticeable loss (not just the refund but the accounting hours to decide the refund) for Paragon/NCSoft.

    Especially since it would not just be for City of Heroes, but for every NCSoft game.

The question seems to be less why test Freedom rather than any other server, and more why test any server at that load.

    The most straight forward answer to the question of why test Freedom is probably no more strange than the fact that Freedom has the most subscribers and Freedom probably has the most hardware dedicated to it. So if you are going to test the limits of the software architecture, the best place to do so is the place that has the most hardware and the most players to fill it.
    Maybe another DXP-Reactivation weekend is coming up?

    So putting in a Credit Card on File under billing summary doesn't let you buy server transfers unless you buy something else first? (I look there and it lets me change or remove. Can't recall if I've ever use the in-game store after changing the card yet before buying a pack though...)

    Limited to masters runs? So, screw over Lambda... and regulate BAF to pure luck, mostly.

    Considering the incarnate stuff is the studio's current high-profile gem I think it will be fixed rather soon.

    There are four European servers (Union, Defiant, Vigilance [French], and Zunkunft [German])

    Paranoia talking here, but you might want to make sure to have some way of locking it to the furniture or something.

    Also, check under the bed (if you dare!) if it's a little dusty, might not be a bad hiding spot.

    Four hour downtimes are unusual for this game. Only happens for serious maintenance and patch updates.

    If you are worried about that, add some slow enhancements to the power. Between that and the slows and immobilizes dark can put out with fluffy things tend not to move too much in my experience.

    This question's answer is like Soylent Cola.

    It varies from person to person.

    Considering "The Playerbase" - it's better this way.

    And the devs know about it and are working on it.

    Of course, I'm just hoping to make it home in time to log in. Joys of "Work is over when we send you home" type jobs.

    I just read the update on the Issue 20 Incarnate ascending thing and it unfortunately offers me nothing, really. Hopefully Issue 21 can give something for the low levels.

    Do you have going rogue? if not, pick it up (especially while on sale at steam)
  24. First things first - check the full headers on BOTH emails - I had a similar issue once and it turned out to be because one night while board, I noticed a field for "alternate emails" on the NCSoft master account - and put in @googlemail.com in addition to the defualt @gmail - result was double-emails.

    So if the different headers have different emails that go to the same place, that's your issue.

    I recently got gifted a large some of inf and without thinking or looking at how much I had on the character I was logged in with I just hit claim. Well the amount put me over the cap and I didn't actually claim it, but it did not stay in the email, instead I guess it has been floating in the ether for over a day. To fix the problem I when to Wentworths and put up some sizable bids on some expensive enhancements (low enough that I new I would not get them) until the inf floating in the ether appeared in my total. This cleared the problem.

    I still think this is a bug. It should not have allowed me to claim the influence at all and should have given me the error when I tried to claim it, leaving it in the email.
    /bug it in game.
