    That could be what hes talking about, in which case it was already explained 'why' and that he would basically have to suck it up.
    That is indeed what happened, but no explanation was given, various assumptions were made but I or we wasn't told in black and white the real reason as to why I or we had to lose our names.
    Various other ideas were proposed at the time, again no answer, my ticket was to find the answers and like I said I'm still waiting 6 months later, still with a bad taste in mouth, although this did give me the kick up the *** I needed to go and find myself another game to play, which atm I am enjoying and driving CoH hard for my main game.
  2. Gave up with support many many moons ago, wrote a ticket asking for a valid answer as to why I was going to lose my Global after 7 years of establishing, still waiting for a reply almost 6 months later, now if that ticket didn't warrant a answer I don't fancy my chances of any other ticket getting a response.

    Also I asked them to check into a matter of griefing and still waiting for a response 6 months later.
  3. I have submitted my entry to join the expired club.

    Isn't this the site that's offering the NA players a plane ticket and 5years of game time?

    Good luck with that lol


    EDIT: Got it to work guys, click on your account then click on the REDEEM CODE option this will then work successfully.
  4. Not sure if anyone else has recieved the same e-mail, but for what it's worth I was told that if i hadn't let my account lapse through freedom I would receive my 1st Reward token on 28th October, if I renewed my account after Freedom it would be 28th November. Yet my billing date is the 14th of the month, try and work something out of that?
  5. If you had a full 8 man team with titan weapon, there would be no room for mobs.

    And I thought a 8 man MM team would be bad.

    Find an EU company, and have them work with Paragon Studios for a contest that allows, and possibly only allows, EU players to get involved in.

    Facebook and MMORPG if not mistaken (I very well could be!) are based out of the US.

    Sooo...get one of those big EU gaming websites to host a contest.
    Is that what you had to do for the NA competition?

    To me the reason is obvious, allow the EU in to the competition and the NA need not enter, thus creating ill-feeling.
  7. There is also a search feature with the store, typing "Circle of Thorns" will bring up all the pieces related to them.
  8. Not really bothered to much by the spending of points atm. What I am waiting for is the next issue, if it seems skimped out and most things being made only purchasable via the store then I will be pissed and most probably hang up my VIP account. But the odd powerset to purchase isn't really much.

    Defiant screwed?

    I think it definately shows how they feel about the EU tonight, if this would have happened on other servers, servers would have been brought down.

    Defiant screwed?

    Got 2 accounts and both have been knocked back to F2P status and all rewards have been removed.

    VIP= Very Irritated Person

    Oh well another night lost, wish I didn't pay for access this month.
  11. As title shows, logged in after downtime to find all my paragon rewards are gone, I cannot even use global channels?

    I did actually think that the excuse before F2P was active was plausable, but what is the new excuse now that F2P is live?

    Downtime

    I refuse to believe the devs are not going to run through EU primetime again.

    I have faith in ya devs.
  15. I think there is a bigger picture here than what is being painted.

    I see a lot of there are more people on the NA side then EU, so they should be prioritised when it comes to downtime, which I can understand from a business point of view.

    But there is also another business point of view they are missing, if this was a one off then I see the EU side as not having an argument, but on recent events they have.

    As a business the last thing you want is to lose your customers, and if the same set of people are constantly being targeted due to their size they will eventually lose some of them, this then decreases the targeted group even more. This then gives other people of the targeted group other reasons to leave.

    Now you can constantly target the smaller group again and again and again until they reach boiling point or they could target everyone and keep everybody just above simmer.

    What makes more business sense, come to your own conclusion.

    That mission is most probably set for 8 players worth of stress though not 1, and that mission is the 3rd out of 4 and takes about 20mins top's to complete, the mission itself is not rinse and repeat over 8-10 hours day.

    I just don't understand people who hate on certain groups (farmers, PvPers, PvEers, whatever) as if the fact that they like to do (farm, PvP, PvE, whatever) somehow lessens other fun in the game.

    Just because I'm not using the AE the way someone who writes arcs is using it does not mean that I'm making their arcs worse. So what's the harm?
    I thought all the high amount mobs in farmer mission put extra stress on the server (maybe wrong), I would call that having an effect on how I play my game?

    On second thought, it just proves that you have no idea how to farm, so nevermind.
    Isn't that a good thing though?, I must be out of the loop.

    I mean calling them Miles Moraleses...LOW. LOW! SO SO LOW!
    Some are just plan Thieves though.

    I wouldn't say my name was popular, heck it took 7 years for a server merge, I went to Freedom to see if my name was available and it was .

    So in 7 years nobody took my name, yet after 7 hours my name had gone on Exalted, either I'm really,really, really unlucky and my name got a massive boost in popularity that I never see. Or someone did this out of spite, I know which sounds more likely.
  20. I would rather play with the real Mccoy rather than a fake dude that thinks the name holds the answer to all their prays.
    If I read a Batman comic and It wasn't Bruce Wayne in the suit and no real good reason for him not to be then it's not real Batman.

    I wouldn't mind playing with the likes of Zombie man, Arcanaville and a few others, would I go to Exalted to do that? nope I'm not going to now, I would rather take a visit to their home servers.
    Exalted had the potential to be really good, but a few people decided to play idiots and have spoilt it, so I think i'm better off playing with the new F2P players and hope a better class of people shine through.
  21. LOL no I won't, I know exactly who took my name, reason why is unclear, but they play on the same server as me. Will I team with them now, I think not.

    In my eye's, I wouldn't mind a thread that exposed these people, again a rule is created as to not name and shame, yet the only people that benefit from that rule is the ones that should be named and shamed.

    At least then I would be able to avoid teaming up with any other name snatchers that thinks it cool to take on someone's else 's reputation without having to earn it themselves.
  22. I think anything with SR would love it, you could almost have Perma Elude.
  23. After them 72 hours Zwill, I give you a big thumbs up, it's always difficult when your at the forefront of the public masses especially when things don't go according to plan and those above you don't give you the information you need to inform the growing pitchforks.

    On a side note, when I'm in for the long haul it's always nice to see how much money I didn't spend by being at work

    But enjoy your Beams Zwill and remember, don't cross your streamers you can get wet.
  24. If the person that took my name is holding it at Ransom and expecting payment, I'm sorry but you just wasted a character slot for no reason, the only reason I would want my name on Exalted would be so I could transfer my main toon there later, which again i'm sorry is not going to happen. I have no wish to join a server full of people that have snatched popular players names in attempt to become popular themselves, so I will leave the fake server to the fake players.

    "EXALTED the place where you can't make a name you have to snatch someone else's"
  25. I wouldn't say my name was that popular , but it was taken, a quick /getglobalname informed me that is was in fact someone who played on my home server and believe to be he's home server as well.

    I'm not sure if he was aware that I would know it was him, but as it stands it looks like he may have left the game and took my name with him?
