What's S/M?

Maybe it's a typo for "Notional."

You know what? This requires a bit more elaboration.

Shutting down Pinnacle to solve the alleged issue of "there were only 40 people on Pinnacle" is doubly illogical. Firstly, there will then be ZERO people on Pinnacle, won't there?

And secondly, if there's an insignificant number of players on Pinnacle and a good number of players on Server X, shutting down Pinnacle will add, by definition, an insignificant number of players to Server X. It won't even be noticed, let alone be game-changing.

You think Server X players saying "Oh yeah, I heard they shut down Pinnacle, but I didn't notice anything much happen as a result" is what'll bring in people who've never played the game?

Bizarre.

Gah.

OK, move all your characters to MY server. Heh.

Seriously, aside from the bad idea that shutting down a server is, you're operating from the unproven assumption that highly-populated servers are more desirable for everyone. They're not.

Not sure this is it, either. They've added a LOT of stuff people have asked for. Has it worked yet? Just because you can think of additional things you personally want doesn't mean that adding them would suddenly bring in WoW numbers.

Is it hot in here? *fans self*

If you ask me, and nobody has, I'd say that if they want bigger numbers the next step is the same one every other product, service, or company uses: advertising. Everyone (and I mean this in the sense of "actual everyone, including elderly aunts and that immigrant family next door," not just "everyone who reads Penny Arcade") has seen TV Chuck Norris and Mr. T on television pitching That Other Game.

TV time would require A LOT of upfront money. Is it a wise business move? I don't know -- I don't run a game company. But it's been historically proven you can sell almost anything with TV ads. If people will pay for Salad Spinners and Garden Weasels, they'll buy COH/V time, even if they don't know what it is.

I saw a rumor this has been changed/removed in the last build. I never paid much attention to pre-stacking insps, but you might want to look into whether they have changed/are intending to change it.

Congrats on TT's longevity and popularity! It's the longest-running event in COHG/V for sure, one of the major MMOs at this point.

And although it's much smaller, not a public event per se, and not even based in an MMO, I do know of at least one Diablo 2 group that's been meeting weekly since 2002 (that's more than nine years of regularly scheduled mayhem!)

PLUS 8 would be really impressive. Not to mention a pretty difficult setting to find. TIMES 8 is more your speed.

You can get him through flashbacks in Oro if you want.

Oh. Curiously, my first TW character is a Brute, currently level 12, without Hasten. I do have a period after my initial chain while waiting for the primary powers to recharge. But I thought of that as "the problem of being low level," not as a Titan-Weapon-specific problem.

Are you saying there's a way to avoid getting caught on stuff? 'Cause my arch-enemy is the humble post or torch.

Hey, nice practical tip there! *files away for future use*

Yeah, and this is what the forums will be like for Judy.

"Release the trolls!"

What recharge issues?

Can't the software restock my power trays for me? It feels pretty onerous to try and rebuild each character's custom layout because of something that I didn't choose to do.
