Great another great thing my money has gone to develop that only less than 1% of the population get to use.

Your paying to play the game dude. You money pays for the server upkeep, and payroll of the people making the game.

That's ALL.

What THEY do with there time and resorces is THEIR bussiness, NOT YOURS. You pay to play. That really is all your entilted TOO. If you are unhappy with this arrangement... your only REAL choice is to take you money elseware.

Same goes for me. Same goes for everyone. Vet rewards are like a "thank you" to long term customers. It's a nice gesture IMO. And belive me, it works both ways.

I had to PAY for DvD perks after the fact, while new players just bought the DvD. I had to pay of the GvE stuff, when again, new people got it when the bought the game. I had to buy CoV, when now, you get it for free or vice versa. You buy one, you get the other free. New players now can start playing both sides of the game for practically nothing... and they complain cause i get a few more fluffy iteams then they do?

48 month veterans have plunked down appoximately
48 x $15 = $720 plus the boxes/codes $30-80?

What have you invested into this game?


Side note: Does that mean those Cabal witches have been 48 month Vets at least since i5 hit (Aug 2005)????

Strength of Will in Willpower sounds alot like Unstoppable...no wait, it is Unstoppable! (read the power description text)

Well, I went thru the stores again since Update 5 (though I still have yet to find the sell-back only stores in the Shadow Shard...) and this is the best sell-back strategy to get the most influence per sale:

Training
Sell back to Freedom Corps stores or NPCs in Talos Island, Independence Port, Skyway City and Steel Canyon. Atlas Park and Galaxy City Freedom Corps Basic Trainers will gouge you a little. You can also sell back Training Enhancements to the Croatoa Store NPCs for the best price as well!

DOs
Sell back only to the same origin stores or NPCs in Talos Island, Independence Port, Skyway City, Steel Canyon, Founder's Falls and Brickstown.

SOs
Sell back only to the same origin stores or NPCs in Talos Island, Independence Port, Skyway City, Steel Canyon, Founder's Falls and Brickstown.

I thought that the sell-back prices from Ghost Falcon (Peregrine Island)/General Hammond (Firebase Zulu)/Col. Barry Woodhouse (Rikti Crash Site)/Other Shadow Shard NPCs was the worst (about 33%-38% of retail across the board), but the Croatoa Store NPCs sell-back their same-origin enhancements at 17% and non-origin enhancements at 8.5% of the retail price! Yikes!

If anyone can duplicate the effect, I would be quite interested in how they did it; if it's something the game supports, even if it is complicated to do, it has the potential to enhance the chat functions significantly. Of course, if you can change the font of a chat message, you run into the same 'what happens if someone doesn't have that font on their system?' problem you do with web pages, which can ruin the effect.

You can use the Windows Character Map program to copy & paste some symbols into the chat window. It doesn't work with every character set or symbol, so you'll have to experiement to see what works. But I remember getting µ to work.
