Your friend has the EU servers and you have the NA servers. Its easy enough to fix, have your friend download the NA client or you could download the EU client. If you go to http://www.cityofheroes.com/account/...of_heroes.html you can download the NA or EU client. Just make sure you both are using the same one.

I've had this issue pop up. The problem is that you have to get rid of all the glass for the change to stick. At least that's what worked for me. Deleted all the glass in the entire base, changed logo, and replaced. It wasn't fun, but it worked

Because sometimes its just hilarious to see the crap people will say

You should check out the Invention Origin Memorization Tracker
at http://www.vidiotmaps.com/downloads.php It's the last link at the bottom of the page.

You can keep track of what recipes and salvage each toon has as well as whats in your base. Then when you select a recipe on the first tab, it tells you if that toon has the recipe and what salvage you have that it uses and what salvage you need.

It was last updated in May of 2007 so I'm not sure what all it's missing. But it is a very handy tool.

I am a very active player. I just happen to not team much. One big reason is I don't like to type while running around. Everyone ends up assuming I don't speak English. My typing skills involve me looking at the keyboard, so its either talk or play. Plus, I have this overwhelming need to not type stuff like omg, lol, ppl, etc. Can't play looking at the keyboard. Oddly enough, I can hit all the keys for powers, movement, etc just fine without looking.

Anyway, my wife got me a headset with a mic so I could talk to people in game. So I'd love to get the info. You can PM me here or in game. My global is @Squirrelly Wrath

I normally use safes. That way I never have any problem placing stuff on the "floor" without have to use the bright white floor tile.

Be sure you go to add personal item and not edit base to place your crafted telepad

Ad_Astra asks a good question. If you are on a Hidden Plot it doesn't matter what the room says it will hold. All Hidden Plots are limited to 1 power. Secure Plots, on the other hand, can hold 2. When you say "smallish," I assume you are still in a hidden spot. There are no differences in the prices of hidden and secure, if I remember correctly. But Secure Plots start at a larger size then Hidden Plots.

I normally play on one of my 50s but that's what they make exemplar for.

Welcome to the game. There is a Scrapper section of the forums. Tons of guides and general information on building the best scrapper you can.

Freedom server is highly populated. Just happens to be populated with mostly farmers. Or so it seems. Each server has its own personality. And again, there are parts of the forum dedicated to each server. So you may want to have a look around in them to see which you think you'd fit into best.

Also meant to say; send a bug report in-game. I know there are a couple personal badges that are bugged and don't show progression even though you are actually earning them.

This may be a dumb question, but are you actively playing? If I remember correctly, there is no progression unless you are actively playing. That way people can't just sk someone then leave their computer on overnight and earn the SG badge.

Cause aren't the AE mission suppose to be virtual mission for entrainment, so why have it awarding real XP?

This thinking is flawed. Think of any sport. Teams practice. This isn't the "real" game but players still improve from the practice. And, I'm sure it has already been said, but the Devs said they want people to be able to level 1-50 in AE.

Farms aside, I like the AE. I've played most of the story arcs to death. And I like having something else to do. Plus, I have small children and they want to play CoH with their dad. So when they get to play, I can make sure it is on a simple map with nothing but minions. That way they don't just get stuck because they don't have the motor skill to get through a door and they aren't just laying dead all the time. And they really like helping me "pick out the bad guys' clothes."

Delete key never worked for me, but using escape is still unselecting for me. Bases are so touchy, you may have no problems at all next time you try it.

I play the game a lot and it did seem that I wasn't making much. but I think thats because I have too many alts and they usually make it to about lvl 20 before I get the urge to make a new one. But, once I got serious about my base, It took me maybe 3 months to get a pretty nice base with all the porters and way more than enough storage for me. Well maybe not way more than enough, I like to horde things, but that's why they lowered how much the storage bins hold. But all in all it goes fairly quickly. And once you get the functional items you want out of the way, decorating really doesn't cost much.

Download CoHelper and post the results. That's your best option if you other players being able to help you. But, first thing that comes to mind to me is check your firewall and make sure the ports the game uses are open. I'm pretty sure there is a stickied thread about firewalls and such causing similar problems.

Or do what I did and con your wife(or girlfriend if you're not married) into getting an account so that you can play together. Which in reality was just my way of justifying two accounts to her.

Still plenty of mages in the south end of the Hollows. just went on a killing spree there a couple days ago.

Prestige earning picks up after about lvl 25. I have a one man SG. My toons are in SG mode always. On average, each one earns around 450k in prestige on the trip from level one to level 50.

Also there is a 20k prestige bonus for the first 15 characters in a SG. So maybe you could find 3 more active players and that would give you an additional 60k.

Prices on base items and plots have come way down as well as rent being much cheaper than it used to be.

Good luck and don't get discouraged. I always got kinda bummed when I'd see me lvl 35 toons had only made like 60k in prestige. Then I looked at some of my 50s that I didn't really play after they hit 50 had around 450k and I didn't feel so bad.

This is the link to the NCsoft store. The easiest way to do it would be just to set up a separate account from your own. That way your son would have his own. The game itself isn't tied to a specific account. That's what the log in is for. So I could log in on any computer that has City of Heroes on it using my username and password. I have two accounts. One for me and one for my wife. It doesn't matter which computer we use the serial codes are tied to the username and password.

Do you have a lot of pictures, videos or music on your computer? Those can eat up a ton of space and that could cause the low virtual memory. But panthera is right. post the COH Helper result or at least give some more details about your computer.

Just be glad that there wasn't some change that gave Sappers a whole new way of ruining you.

I hate when I'm tabbing through a mob of Malta to make sure I get the Sapper first, but somehow I miss him. Then think to my self, "sweet no sapper." Run in, get off one attack, and then look around going "why aren't my powers working?' Only to realize its because I have no end and the Sapper continues to ghostbust me, mocking me with his cool gun that I can't have.

You shouldn't have to take your base apart as long as there is enough room on your plot to move the entrance room. I know it stinks with the 8x8 because it gets full fast and then moving a room requires deleting a room. But as long as there is space for the room and you don't have anything blocking the pathing(like stuff on walls) you shouldn't have any problems.

Very nice. I hope to have my base fixed up one day but sadly I lose interest very fast and have to go kill stuff

They searched for my character to ask whether or not they would fill, they NEEDED to have seen the message because they wouldn't have sent a tell otherwise, and my alt was not near a place where a task force leader would have been trolling for fills.

A lot of these people just use /whoall and get a list of players in the zone so they never see your search comment
