He got the inf together and was patient enough to wait until I finished an ITF I was on before receiving his IO. I didn't expect it, but he even sent the inf first. I figured we'd be doing a billion inf up front, maybe two, then I'd send the IO, then he'd send the rest.

Then it was just a matter of claiming the cash. 1.75 billion of it went straight on my main because I like him having nine digits on hand. The other billion went to an MM that just turned 50 and had about a billion sitting on him.

I don't think bids go away in 60 days just because you don't log in in any case, but on my active characters it doesn't really matter.

I'm going to be watching these threads more closely because I'm working on earning a few of these IOs myself. ^_^ I have 23 amerits on my night widow as of last night, on target to have 30 by Saturday, and I have 10 on one scrapper and 11 on another scrapper. I also have a 2 billion bid for one on the market. This is the first time I've worked hard at earning and saving up amerits to buy something like this, and if I can earn one or two to sell, so much the better. ^_^

No, you can't claim all of those e-mails right away on one character, but you could claim it with two or more. You could also store the inf in the e-mails. Or you could claim just 1-2 of the e-mails, place a bid on WW that will never fill, and then claim the rest.

For example... Using both of those methods, I've got a character with double digit billions; I just claim what I need as I run low on inf on hand.

I've been in that boat before with losing character names on server merges in Everquest (like my necromancer Joslyn became Joslynx and my mage Drusilia became Drusiliax), however my account was inactive for nearly a year at the time, so I got the shaft, as it should have been. However, had my account been active, I am pretty sure that the age of the character is/was taken into account. This is the way it should be IMO. If on the off chance my global is the same as a EU player, if that player has been playing longer than me, I would accept NA before my name. I would not appreciate it if it were being done to us the way it's being done to the EU Players.

You still have time to fix this for them, please do.

The pre-download system would likely have had me in the game in a very short time tonight.

It's speeding up the process of "survival of the fittest" so it's got some decent meatshields from what it appears to know about the Storm (which has yet to be revealed via plot).

[EDIT based on Residentx_EU's EDIT] I agree there's probably an element of "the younger audience won't really know any better anyway" going on here. But as a member of the "rest of us" audience I'm still willing to let these changes have a chance to fail before I'll ASSUME it's going to fail.
