    Wish they had a warning that I could only buy one in 24 hours and I would have got the mutant pack first ...
    You need to open a trouble ticket at help.ncsoft.com...I've bought several items in a matter of minutes.

    As for your problem, just go to

    https://secure.ncsoft.com/cgi-bin/St...tem&item_id=34

    and log on. You should be able to press the "buy" button after logging on. You just need to find the right item_id=?? to put in the URL. You'll know you are on the EU page because everything will be quoted in English pounds.
    I know about the currency. I can't buy EU GR from DLGAMER from the US. They won't sell it to us. It's EU only.
    GR isn't worth fully paying full retail price to me.

    https://secure.ncsoft.com/cgi-bin/St...tem&item_id=90

    but it tells me I don't have an account to send it to :-(

    God knows how I managed to buy Going Rogue...
    If your in the UK, then that's the problem. Maybe we can help each other out. I want to buy an EU account and packs. I'm in the US. Can I buy US packs and send them(codes) to you and you buy the GR complete from DLgamer and the EU boosters(from the NCSOFT store)? I can pay you by paypal for GR...it's 9.99 today only and 50% off boosters too. If we can do it today. As long as you don't apply the codes after the purchase I can use them and vice versa.

    Send me a private message, residentx10

    I'm accessing the account from work; I'll bet it's blocking features. Guess I'll wait until I get home. So much for getting a jump on the Cyber Monday rush.
    go to help.ncsoft.com and open a ticket. They'll unflag your account so you can make a purchase. Mine was unflagged this morning and I was able to buy.
  5. Mr. E, is that a Gift Inspiration or something in the picture? I've never seen that before.
  6. It was quite sad. Fugly was in there taking the pounding and giving them like a champ. Then that one strike came and he collapsed. It was like watching your best friend getting beat up by the local bully. Just sad.

    Thanks. Just a few more questions. Please forgive me for the questions but I want to now BEFORE I play so everything is seamless.

    1. Are the temp power recharges automatic or do I have to do something to recharge?
    2. Recipes that give temp powers. Will those be disabled too?
  9. Mission Eight - Part Two: Grab your temp powers & don't be afraid to use them - you can recharge them (all except the Fail Safe Guns -4 uses- which only Stalkers can use). Stalkers gain Max Stealth to enter the two gun rooms to nuke the ambushes, Corruptors/Dominators have attack/holds for the ambushes, Brutes/Veats gain a team End Drain resistance power, MMs can keep Reichsman from phasing.

    What do you mean by the temp powers here. I thought your disabling them.

    I have to probably agree with you here. I wanted to do the respecs before the next one dropped on monday and I wanted to also do my annually tailoring I was hoping to add the new styles while I had time this weekend. I tried 5 cc each day for the last 5 days. I'm sure I'm a risk now.

    Has anyone tried to make purchases in the last few days? I've used ever cc I have and I can't buy the origins pack.
    I keep getting this message:

    There's a few of us left over here yet...

    The zones of Paragon will probably seem a good bit emptier than you're used to (particularly if you're hailing from Freedom) but be sure to join the "Defiant Events" global channel and you'll virtually always find someone online to point you in the right direction.

    Less is more for me. I'm hoping you guys look at the calendar and plan your gaming. I'm hoping to do those large events(Hamidon, Eden, etc.). Things I couldn't do on Freedom because there were too many people which induced lag horribly. I'm so thrilled to be working with a new bunch of players. Thanks.
  16. add me. Diva Attitude: 50 Dominator 1st build Electric/Gravity. Scirocco Patron. 2nd build: Stealth/Gravity. Ghost Widow Patron
  17. I'm looking forward to playing with you guys on Defiant. My US account expires at the end of the month but I activated a new account on the US-Based EU servers now. Once I create and confirrm my new account, I'm hoping to set up a week long event the last week December. I hope to play many hours and complete raids I was unable to complete on Freedom due to so many players ( Hamidon, Eden, etc.) and lag! Check the calender for the event. I'm starting out a Praetorian. I'm trying to think of some cool EU names while I'm waiting for the 3.6GB client to install. How about these names?

    Extended European Server Downtime - Thursday, 11th November 2010
    Greetings all,

    We have an important announcement for our EU players.

    On 11th November 2010 we will be moving our four European servers to a new data centre in the United States. As part of this migration, we will be taking the servers down starting at 5:00 a.m. Pacific Time (1:00 p.m. British Time / 14:00 Central European Time).This migration is expected to take approximately 6 hours, but it could end sooner or later. Check back for updates on the downtime.

    This migration will help to centralize the City of Heroes servers allowing for higher quality and more efficient systems management. One location for all of the City of Heroes game servers will make it easier to support and upgrade the hardware. For example, as part of the migration, all of the EU game servers will be upgraded to brand new hardware. Also, it will improve our ability to respond to performance issues and streamline processes for keeping all servers up to date and online.

    With the new data centre being located in the United States, it is possible that some of our European customers could experience additional lag when connecting to the game servers. However, the hardware is much newer, more efficient and our testing in most cases has shown no impact on performance. Additionally, customers in Europe will now consistently connect to the game servers through a more robust Internet pipeline. This means that our European players may actually notice improvements to their overall game experience.

    This move does not impact your account, characters or game client. You existing account and user information will all be preserved. There is no work necessary on your part to prepare for this migration.

    Please note that City of Heroes European game servers can only be accessed by European accounts, and City of Heroes North American game servers can only be accessed by North American accounts. There will be no server list merge or server merge as part of this migration.

    Thank you very much for your patience with this matter; we appreciate your continued support of City of Heroes!
    I'm sure it was quite Bizarre to YOU :-)
  23. I created new account and made a purchase but I had problems. I still got a coh_na_setup.exe file and when I tried to login to the boards I couldn't with my new ID. I had to open a new ticket. But I won't let this stop me. I'll be on EU soon...

    Who said anything about moving my characters? I said I'd reactivate as EU. Assumptions they can be deadly. GR has brought nasty people to CoH. I got booted once because I went to the restroom. I'm looking for a more agreeable crowd.
    Where is the official link to get an EU client and start a sub?
