Yes, you are wrong. There is no one to do your request. The remaining staff of Paragon Studios consists of forum mods. Zwillinger is in charge of telling the community what NCsoft is dictating to the players in as nice of manner as humanly possible. Your request means less than nothing to the management of NCsoft.

There isn't a designer or programmer left. Even if there was someone able to do your request, there is no way that they would be able to get approval from NCsoft.

You're going to die without breathing forever...

It quite clearly states in the farewell announcement:
http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/news/n.../thank_you.php

Which Zwillinger repeated on the forums:

It would, in my professional opinion require programming (code to set up), designing (artwork for the store), and someone that could enable the item on the store.

Zwillinger is responsible for none of those three roles. More to the point, if Zwillinger said that they can't change the settings behind the scenes, then what makes you think that they can do so in a way that players can access?

There, there is your red name response to your request. Give it up. It isn't happening.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but the original CoV box code would equal a CoH box code. It has been that way since NCsoft took over the game.

However, I'm not surprised to find out the problems entering the codes for other editions after the refund announcement.

I told the staff at Futureshop that it had happened. Thankfully all the boxes were removed from the shelves. Sadly the same can't be said of their online store.

Sadly this is my view. I even tried it again this month. I guess I need a change from super-heroes.

I will say that I liked the game better for the 2 weeks I tried it from the trial account (a friend bought a lifetime sub) with the 1 bonus week that it had as opposed to the F2P experience. Even though the character builds are more focused with the templates.

This I do agree with though.

Is it bad that I remember & liked that episode of Buck Rogers?

Here is what to do if you want to get a favor for a dying game from a NCsoft executive: forget it. They are one of the most unpleasant races in the Galaxy. Not actually evil, but bad-tempered, bureaucratic, officious and callous. They wouldn't even lift a finger to save their own grandmothers from the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal without orders signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters. The best way to get a drink out of a NCsoft executive is to stick your finger down his throat, and the best way to irritate him is to feed his grandmother to the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal. On no account should you allow a NCsoft executive to sell you a game.

In other words, the poor working stiff at NCsoft Austin that could change the account wouldn't get approval until sometime next year.

What we seem to be missing is High-End Damage/Debuff (from all reports Corruptors, as we only get 1-2 for a group of 20).

I'll be happy to send you a reminder Saturday though.

User Interface upgrade. Patch note in question:

Personally I measured success by thread views.

Corporations are mostly protected from "calling the police".

For those that are not getting full subscriptions, they have paid for access that the company is in the process of stopping.

For those that bought points, well you got the points and you can still spend those points.

8-31-2005? That would be Issue 5. Global channels were available before that.

Are you seriously telling me that if you went to, say, McDonalds and they offered you a McChicken meal with fries and softdrink, but they only gave you the burger that you wouldn't be demanding a refund of the undelivered food?

They made an agreement: X amount of time for Y amount of dollars. Only now it is X is short and they want to keep Y. In the real world that would get you sued.

Teaching is a service and I had to pay up front for each quarter. And the last movie that I went to that was interrupted (paid days in advance of the movie showing) was shown in another screen AND everyone was given a voucher for another movie. Oh, and the projector didn't burn out during the movie, but just before the movie was supposed to start, and the new screen started from the very beginning. Concerts are paid in advance (they won't let you in before you pay), and usually if there is something to force cancellation a refund is usually issued.

Consumer protection laws do not make the distinction you are making.

They are a merchant.

They made an offer that was accepted.

They backed out of the offer before their commitment was fulfilled.

Andy, at this point I'm not inclined to "waiting patiently". I'm inclined to report NCsoft to the Better Business Bureau and government regulators (both in Canada and the US).

My subscription:

• Hasn't been automatically cancelled, as per the announcement.
• Extends to 2013.

And some EULAs have been struck down as "not enforceable". This is a matter of breach of contract, and possibly fraud on NCsoft's part.

This!

I had the opportunity to team with her during Issue 18 beta. One of the best moments I had in the last 7 years.

Yes, that is how it is...

@Phoenix of Syrinx

You'll get your wish soon enough.

You might want to tell whoever is listening that there are a lot of us with 6+ months of subscription on our account(s). What is happening with those accounts should have been a part of the closure announcement. I'm surprised that the legal department at NCsoft isn't having a hissy-fit over the way this has been botched. If they aren't, then they aren't doing their job(s).

Please note: I don't want a credit for another NCsoft game. I want my money back. In my eyes, NCsoft is in breach of the contract between them and myself. At this point, they owe me a refund of my remaining time or it does rise to the level of knowingly taking my money without intent to provide service.

Let me stop you right here. We don't have enough people with the "right" archetypes/powers to do as you suggest. This is the same advice we've been hearing since Issue 23 has launched with this badge. It remains as unhelpful as ever.

Edit:
I'd be surprised if we get 1 kin, and for corruptors? Maybe 1-2 per group of 24.

By getting the other X times the Victor badges in the KHTF.

And I still have the RHW to get, unless some miracle also gives me the Bug Hunter badge.
