    To say unplanned downtime affects everyone equally is assuming that once it's discovered it is handled in the same way regardless of the time of day. I dare say it isn't and I can understand why. I can also understand that this will upset a number of people.

    In regards to people being miffed. No it's not going to solve anything, but If they want to chew... so be it.

    Server status

    Also fact - The servers are down other than a regular sheduled maintenance. They have remained down well over the stated time and there's no word of when they might be back or what's going on.

    Yes... it happens... But I also see why some people are slightly annoyed. They pay full price subs too.
  3. Have I missed something?

    I'm trying to get into the game after the downtime and I can log in ok, but when I click on a server it sends me back to the login screen??
  4. Goodbye to my global after all these years. I can't say it's any shock at all that it's the Europeans forced to choose a new name. Oh well.

    Eeek, ok... does anyone know the number? I can't find it anywhere. And are they around on the weekend? if so, what times?

    Thanks!
  6. I've got multiple CoX accounts in Europe and one on the North American servers and a while back I accidentally added time to my North American account - I realised straight away and within minutes I asked customer support nicely if they would refund it so I could put the money on my EU account instead. I didn't expect them to do it since it was my own fault but I was pleasantly surprised that they refunded it, no questions asked.

    The only problem is they took the liberty of being a bit hamfisted and banning that account... I assume so I couldn't be a ditz and do it again. This didn't bother me so much at the time but I now want to play that account. I had agreed to join a few friends over the last few days as we all had time off so I sent a request a few days ago through support explaining that I never asked for the ban, and I hadn't actually done anything worthy of a ban and could they pretty please undo it. They sent me a request for a truckload of details, my name, DOB, serial codes, account names, card numbers etc etc.. I sent a reply as soon as I saw it and got told the ticket was being escalated to a senior CS rep. I'm still waiting... This has been going on for days now and I don't understand what's taking so long, it should be a simple matter!

    I paid for the account, I haven't done anything wrong other than make a polite request to CS to refund some paid time - I should be allowed to use it, after all, I'm trying to add paid time to the account and give NC more money!

    Does account support work over the weekends? I'm guessing I can't expect a reply until monday or tuesday now - great.

    I really like this idea! It would make a nice addition to the girl's hairstyles.
  8. Or you could do what I do.... and just buy more slots
  9. I know you're traps but I just remembered that anyone with devices can also use the Cloaking device as a layer of stealth.
  10. I may be wrong, but I don't believe you can lay mines while using the invisibility pool power. You will need stealth + a stealth IO or Superspeed since these don't supress your ability to use powers that may affect other players. Invisibility granted by someone else should also work.
  11. Make a fire/kin controller - tell her to take repel and keep it on ALL the time...

    I only see one of you, so clearly not.

    Had to ask, after all you do live in Brighton.

    Edit: You know me too well

    What the?!

    I was going to suggest a really chunky female character called Thunder Thighs but it was taken

    You know what rocks? Being a player and nothing more than that .

    Been thoroughly enjoying a new Stone/Kin Controller (pacted with a Stone/Stone Tanker), hit 24 last night.

    What rocks?

    *groan*

    You should be slated for that one....

  16. Yup, I've been getting feedback on a farming mission sent to my global(@Kimmy) - I definitely didn't create it.

    And welcome back

    I have been with you since the beginning, and I've never done this before, so here goes. Because of all the hubbub and things the devs have done to the game, it has left the forums devoid of threads about me.

    So I'm starting an own thread to make me feel special and loved.

    Please reply to let me know how much you love me, okay?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Thanks for the laugh. I'm speshul, can I have my own thread too?

    Must admit, I feel sorry for GR having to read all this [censored] in his last two days here.

    Edit: <3 you too

    Good luck, Alex. May you always in your journeys find fair skies, welcoming ports, warm women and cold beer.

    He's Australian. Cold beer ALWAYS comes first!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    True...

    Seriously though, hopefully we'll be able to get him in game a bit more often now so he'll still be around!
  19. I've probably got more reason to leave than most people but I'll just say I'm not done with CoX yet....

    See you all in game!

  20. Was only on for a little while this afternoon but I saw no end of GMs and sig heroes running about the joint in cap. Made the mistake of taunting GR for harder stuff and promptly had the whole Freedom Phalanx dumped on poor Slitty's head.

    Well, they could've used Cimerora, but I doubt they will...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Or the RWZ - but Pocket D is better, as it has no entry level.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Exactly... I'm sure most people that visit the training room have characters that can get into Cim but PD just seems more logical since people can take whatever they want.
  23. [ QUOTE ]
    Actually might as well use this thread to ask since it's on topic.

    Do we know what time, roughly, the devs and your good selves will be making an appearance and where abouts, will it be Atlas or Pocket D (so those of a more villainous incline could come say hello)?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I'd be surprised if they don't use Pocket D. Because of the time difference I'd guess Avatea + Devs probably wont be on until late afternoon / early evening EU time. GR might pop in a little earlier than that.

    Using Donna Cryonix, my fully IO'd(at the time) Ice/Devices Blaster.

    Had just laid trip mine number 18 when a sneaky Dominator hits me with confuse and I go up in a flash, was like guy fox night in my pants.

    Not alot you can do to retaliate when you are now flying mince.

    Couldn't help but fall off my chair laughing.

    I have to admit, I used to get quite a kick out of that
  25. I can't play stalkers full stop

    Yeah it's a busy sg so unfortunately inactives are cleared regularly to make room. Many of my characters don't get used very often so I'll only put them in the sg temporarily for things like task forces. People are always welcome back.
