  1. I'd suggest no nickname since all you're doing by having one is pointing out the difference in a perceived hierarchy.

    Call them your friends

    A possible idea.

    I'd suggest if you form a static team (starting at level 1) make sure everyone is in a levelling pact within that static group.

    I guess in a ego-manical world the idea of needing help or assistance is insulting to the every day hero.

    I mean, God forbid we have to work with signature heroes without taking it as a slight or insult to our self-esteem.

    Wonder Woman must be so friggin' pissed everytime she has to work with a lesser hero whenever Superman or Batman aren't available.

    Or the Blue Beetle must feel besmirched every time he has to work with one of the leaders of the Justice League.

    *rolls eyes*

    Understood. It's not the only time I've heard that speculation/sentiment/concern, so was just blasting it out. Loudly. Hope you were wearing ear plugs.

    Being a VIP determines Queue access to log into the server.

    I'll put this in big bold caps word for y'all:

    IT DOES NOT MEAN A FREE PLAYER WILL BE BOOTED FROM A SERVER WHEN YOU TRY TO LOG IN ON A VIP ACCOUNT. IT SIMPLY MEANS WHEN YOU QUEUE TO LOG IN TO THE SERVER YOU WILL GET PRIORITY IN LOGGING IN. THAT IS ALL.

    VIP members will get priority queuing.

    Free accounts will be restricted to Local and Team chat. You'll have to be right near them to be spammed.

    However, the increased load due to a large influx of F2P players does concern me.
    The stress test last month was meant to test new server hardware, IIRC.

    F2P & Virtue

    I think Virtue will have a high retention rate of new free/premium players, mainly because of the awesome, welcoming community here. With all the community events going on (cc's, the stuff American Legion does, Hami raids,) I really do believe Virtue will continue to flourish as a vibrant online community

    My understanding is that what the "stress" test was for last month during the Praetorian invasion - upgrading server tech

    F2P & Virtue

    I came to Virtue at the end of December, after playing on Victory since 2004.

    Some people are concerned that F2P will be destroying vibrant communities, like Virtue.

    I think quite the opposite.

    My experience with Virtue and its native inhabitants has been an awesome experience, and I don't think any amount of new "free" players will destroy it. I am certain that the Virtue community will be more than embracing to new players (Hey! Those are new potential Pocket D ERP'ers you could be converting!)

    I am optimistic that the Virtue community will embrace this next generation of CoH players and as much knee-jerk DOOMas people are experiencing right now, I think it is going to be alright when it comes
  14. If you hate F2P you won't be playing any online games ever again.

    Period.

    It's the future of online games.
  15. The VIP server is like any normal server.

    We aren't being forced to it.

    The only perk is that Free & Premium accounts won't have access to it.

    Perhaps it's the reason Rebecca Black officially took down the music video for "Friday, Friday" - it's going to be the official cutscene for the all the iTrials going forward - and it can't be skipped.
  19. I highly doubt it's going to be CoH 2 - there's still so much story to tell in CoH 1.
