  1. It wasn't a great episode but it wasn't a terrible episode either. I thought they child actor did terror very well and rather grew to like the dad. Anyway it was an odd episode and I think we should just take it as one of the many incidents that happen while he gallivants around.
  2. No Tiki room no door to it no area there. The vaults weren't present either on either side. The cage match area on the blue side was not there at all. Just remove those areas and the doors to them and it is the same.

    What no shutting the servers down for a few hours then turning them back on with Freedom loaded? And that being the announcement? Drat I liked that idea.

Because of this, anyone who wasn't subbed on the date that we copied from does not have immediate access to the Beta server.

    If I haven't responded to you personally yet, it's because I'm currently sitting on hundreds of PM's in my in box that I'm still sorting through. I was OOO for several days gone at PAX and have been in almost non-stop meetings since I got back. I almost always reply to PM's in some shape or form, within reason of course, so if I haven't responded to you it's because I haven't read it yet.

    As previously stated, send a PM to a member of the Community Team *and* file a Customer Support ticket. The latter is the most important part as they forward these along for access on a daily basis, as opposed to me doing it as I have time to.

    Thanks
    Oh drat I was Ninja's by Zwillinger. Anyway yes this is the problem and is one that happens every time a beta goes on.

    Correct Subscriber = VIP.

    You do not pay your monthly subscription fee you are not a VIP player.

    He probably wore the formal wear because he wanted to use the cane and the formal wear goes with the cane. I can see The Doctor thinking like that.

    Loaded it on my work laptop running Win7 Pro just fine. Took 10 minutes to download and 15 to install and then launched perfectly. ::shrug:: [Got to love fiber optic connection to the internet]

    Oh and running it on Vista Ultimate at home.

    It confused me understanding it all and wasn't sure about it all so I'd thought I'd ask. So I'll be a prem/vip player either way. If I pay i'll be a vip if I dun I'll be a prem alright makes sence I believe I understand now =o ty.
    Exactly.

    When they switch to Hybrid F2P mode they will add two account types. Free and Premium. So a full list of accounts would look like this. Free, Premium, & Subscriber.

    Now that looks a bit funny so they decided to spruce up the subscriber name and instead call it VIP. Thus Subscriber = VIP. Now a list of valid account types will look like - Free, Premium, & VIP.

    As you can see that looks a bit spiffier than the former list. Mind you people still trip over the fact that VIP = Subscriber. Ah well.

    You would get Premium access, 400 Paragon point, +1 Reward tokens all for $1.99.

    That seems like a decent deal to me.

    I'm not sure when the opportunity closes if it was when Freedom was announced or when Freedom actually goes live.
    And just incase the other five replies weren't clear.

    VIP accounts are just a fancy name for being subscribed to the game.

    Basically instead of calling it Free/Premium/Subscribed they spiced it up a bit by calling it Free/Premium/VIP.
  17. Yes well if people didn't try to steal and break things we wouldn't have to put up with greater security. Security is always a tradeoff between convenience and security. The more securer it is to the more inconvenient to use it generally is. [Note the this doesn't hold true in reverse. Greater inconvenience doesn't always translate into improved security.]

    If all you had to do was keep the average person honest you could have very minimal security. Sadly the world isn't like that. So because greater security is needed changes like this happen.

    It has never taken more than a couple of hours to get a response in email. You do still have access to the account you registered to receive email from NCSoft with right? If not your going to have to go to phone support.

    Internet speeds?

    I play just fine on a DSL connection that runs about .7 Mbs.

    For that matter I stream movies just fine on it too.

    Where the increased speed would benefit you is downloading large games or movies regularly.

    And really the game itself will run fine on dialup. Ie 56K. Its the patching and downloading where the speed of your connection really benefits you. The ads about how fast such and such an internet service is are pretty much deceptive because very little besides downloading actual files needs very high speeds.
  20. Does your public IP address change say daily? It's in part based on that and anything that causes your external public IP address to change will force you to reverify.

Or once we buy it for the beta, will it be unlocked for the live servers once Issue 21 hits?

    Thanks all!
    Nope.

    The 10,000 points you get in beta are purely there to let you test the store with. You won't see that many points live unless you unlimber your credit card and buy them.

    Yes there should be an announcement about this in the beta forums and there isn't.

    Yesterday evening they announced in game from the ADMIN channel that the beta was being turned off at 7:00 PM Pacific last night and wouldn't be brought back up for playing until 4:00 PM or 5:00 PM Pacific today.

    Basically the server isn't letting players in right now even if you can see it sitting there mocking you.

    Yes. Yes it does.

    I want a button to push to dump a glass of ice down the back of the programmer who maintains the forums every time I get logged out. He would have had two glasses of ice down his back today from me alone so far.
